[ her feed turns on and there's ahiru, a girl, not a duck. ]

Uhm, so . . . I've been here for a year. Which is really long and I was just thinking that . . . it's been so nice. To be here. And to meet new people and try new things. Also make so many friends.

So, uhm, to celebrate . . . I'll give you a compliment! To celebrate everyone. And if I don't know you, uhmmm, I'll give you my best first impression!

[ she bows lightly. ]

[Okay, this is incredibly sweet though.]

I'll bite.

But you're getting one in return, rest assured.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra gives a little bow in return, smiling.]

Ahiru, you have the best ideas.

( oh, this'll be good. )

Come on, let's hear it.

[ The old man shuffles about on screen. He pulls the Omni close and twists it about. The viewer can see a close up of his eyes. ]

Excuse me, but how are you in here, little sister?

Wow it's been an entire year? You can't expect me to accept a compliment without giving you one as well, right?

I'll go first: Your curiosity is contagious and I admire your need to learn about the world and people around you.

Do me! Do me!!

[danserai]

[ ahiru claps her hands together. ]

Oh, this is easy. You're smart! You do your best, even when you find it hard. And you're very loyal.

[danserai]

Ehehe, you think so? I just thought it was nice . . .

[danserai]

[ oh. a new person. she thinks about this long and hard. ]

You have . . . a nice beard! And nice . . . muscles?

[danserai]

[ does. does he know? they had met when ahiru was a duck but ahiru has outed her duck status . . . so it makes sense that he knows. ]

Uhm. Yes?

[ yes feels safe. ]

[danserai]

That's cheating! I'm supposed to go first!

[danserai]

Uh, okay.

You're kind of funny.

[rocinantes]

Not bad.

( and he does appreciate them. )

You just get up with the urge to spread some cheer?

[danserai]

Uhm, no. I said, I've been here for a year and I wanted to do something nice.

[bardbarous]

Looking, or...?

[ Be careful, Ahiru! He's very sensitive. ]

[danserai]

[ she wouldn't really know what funny-looking is like. ]

No, I mean funny! You're good at making people smile and laugh.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Aren't nice ideas some of the best?

[danserai]

I don't know, I think smart ideas are probably better.

[rocinantes]

Ah, so it's like a celebration thing for being here a year?

( god, how many years has it been for him now? too many. )

I think I lost count of how long I've been here.

[danserai]

[ lost count . . . is that possible? ]

Do you miss your home?

[ezra_of_lothal]

Hmmm. I'm seen some ideas that I guess were technically smart that were are really cruel.

At this point in my life, clever isn't worth too much in my book, without remembering kindness, too.

[danserai]

I guess that's true. But clever people can be really nice!

[ezra_of_lothal]

That's true.

We definitely need lots of people like that.

[stoicsilhouette]

[Oops]
Lol how's it cheating?

1/2

[danserai]

[ wait HOW is it cheating? she didn't think this through. ]
