Why not keep it simple. What do you like? Outside of comic books and pudding.

[postocular]

I like reading in general? The library's got some pretty good books I hadn't read before. I don't mind the engineering? It keeps me busy.

[outstandingbalance]

Reading is good. There's a lot of things to learn.

[postocular]

So, what about something you don't like.

[outstandingbalance]

Hm. Good question. I don't know...

[She can think of plenty of things, but most of them get too real too quickly. She's not going to drop "mind control" on him as an answer.]

Cold weather?

[postocular]

Cold weather is a good one. I can go with that, too.

[outstandingbalance]

Not a fan? Where you're from, Carl?

[postocular]

Georgia. We lived in King County, which was pretty close to Atlanta.

When everything started happening, we moved around. We're somewhere in Virginia now, I think?

[outstandingbalance]

So you don't get cold weather too often. At least you have that going for you?

[postocular]

Not really. We haven't been there too long, though. Dunno what winter will bring.

[ Or what day it is even, but whatever!! ]

[outstandingbalance]

Only one way to find out.

[You know... surviving.]

So last system, did you mostly stay inside?

[postocular]

Mostly? I was around a little, but I kinda outgrew my coat.

[ It fit just fine before his weird overnight growth spurt! Teenage bodies are weird and all. ]

Had to at least get Christmas presents. [ Shrug! ]

[outstandingbalance]

Yeah, must be hard ending up so tall.

[Smiling a little at the image.]

That's important, though. Let people know you're thinking of them.

Even if your wrists get cold.

[postocular]

After everything, we didn't really celebrate much of anything except still being alive. Having holidays here is kind of nice.

[ He huffs. ] Yeah, that too.

[outstandingbalance]

Does that mean you have plans for Valentine's?

[postocular]

[ Natasha.. Natasha why? ]

Why would I have plans for Valentine's? That's a couples thing.

[outstandingbalance]

C'mon. Everyone likes chocolate.

[postocular]

Yeah, but I don't need a holiday to justify having it.

[outstandingbalance]

But it is an excuse.

[postocular]

I guess.

[outstandingbalance]

You don't have to if you don't want to?

[postocular]

That's always the case.

[outstandingbalance]

There's that too. Still...

So if you're not doing Valentine's, what are you looking forward to?

[postocular]

I dunno. Thanksgiving and Christmas were the big two that already passed. Fourth of July was cool.

[outstandingbalance]

That's a long way off. And more of an American thing, really.
