[ She's waving into the camera with a little smile ]

Hey everybody! I just had a great idea this morning and thought maybe everyone would like to help me practice?

Anyways, my family runs a flower shop, so I'm pretty good at making arrangements and stuff like that. And the ships could really use some kind of, I don't know, organic decor, you know?

The plant life here is a bit limited, so there's only so much to work with, but --

[ She turns the camera to face a table in the Three Twins, which now proudly features something like this ]

Here's an example, I just kinda threw this one together now. Let me know if you want one! No charge or anything, I just need the practice. I've been getting super rusty!

[ ... laughs ]

Why am I not surprised?

Look, it was an important upgrade to make, and he agrees that flying makes him a better healthcare companion!

You're in charge of him, of course he agrees with you.

Iiiit actually took some convincing.

What do you mean? Can't you just push a button and tell it what to do?

[ What are robots what is AI technology ]

--Uh. He's not that kind of robot. He's programmed to think for himself a little bit. I don't think Tadashi expected him to go as far as he has, but... He learned. A lot.

I ... didn't know they could do that.

It's pretty recent technology, and it's nowhere near perfected.

[and then, if you're looking close enough, you can see a little pride.]

Buuuuut my brother's just that awesome.

[and by "looking close enough" i mean if you're looking at him through backwards binoculars a mile away you can make out the font type]

[ Cutie ... ]

So he didn't want to learn it?

He "failed to see how flying made him a better healthcare companion".

[airquotes!]

He changed his tune when flying is all that saved my butt.

[yeah he's gonna leave out the "going into an unstable portal to save someone" thing]

Saved your butt?

[ DID WE NOT HAVE A TALK ABOUT YOU DOING THE DANGEROUS STUFF ]

Didn't I tell you about the whole "superhero" thing? Baymax has never let me get seriously injured, don't worry.

You mentioned it, but ...

[ A small frown ]

I guess that's good.

[a slightly calmer little smile]

Don't worry, I promise we're as safe as we can be. I'm not alone out there, I have a team. What we do is changing the world, in the lab and on the field.

[ Wow, he really has some Feelings about that, huh ...

She'll tease him about it, though ]

You almost sound like you're having fun out there.

Well, I mean... It's for the people.

Is there a lot of crime where you live?

It's a big city. Somebody's always doing something they shouldn't. Besides, we help in emergencies outside of crime, too. Baymax stopped a runaway trolley once.

Trolley? What is that?

Public transportation. Kind of like a bus shaped like a train car.

...

[ Does her squinting convey that she has no idea what either of those things are either ]

A bus is the big long one, right?

... Well, a train is longer than a--y'know what, hold on.

[let him just. get a notebook he's got plenty, and just doodle a train and a bus and a trolley. they are not great drawings but they convey the message well enough.]

Here. Train on top, bus in the middle, trolley last.

Ohhh.

Yeah, we have none of those. We just walk everywhere.

With how strong you guys are trained to be? I'm not surprised.

It'd be a lot less tiring if we could drive around like that, though ... ! Running for a whole entire day is, like, the worst.
