[Vanessa's half turned away from the console when she turns the video on. Multitasking is a lifesaver, honestly. Her fingers are moving over the keyboard sitting next to her, playing a soft melody that's almost like a lullaby. She is a good egg mommy, okay. Turtle-baby needs pretty music.] I don't how it's possible that our items end up in this universe, but I have to say, this is way cheaper than saving my pennies for a piano or something. I can write all the music I want, but it's not the same as listening to it.

[Her fingers keep moving even as she glances up at the screen with a small grin.] Which means that I put the extra bit of juulan I had set aside to a good cause. For those of you who were interested - and anyone new! - I put down a payment for a building in Water to use for the outreach program. We can meet there. [Because the kedan in Water are still hero worshipping her, and she got a place really cheap. It's not the best, but hey. She can't argue with cheap.]

If you don't know what I'm talking about, a couple of months ago, we stumbled on this totally gross drug called Dust. And we want to help the people who are addicted, if you think that might be something you're interested in. You know, helping people, saving Asti, stopping Mally. Heroic things. [She goes quiet for a second, biting her lip.] We can meet and talk about where to start soon.

Yeah, smooth-talking usually comes hand-in-hand with being crowned as the King of Swag. [But there's a hint of a blush on his face too, anyway.

But a little bit more serous, now!] Uhh, so are you like, going to keep it?

I'm still not really sure about that title. I think you just gave it to yourself. [js.]

Well, I mean. It's not like a pet, is it? I can't keep it.

So I crowned myself. Pretty sure some other dudes have done the same back in the days. [Not that he knows much about history if it's not about mechanics, but...]

Hey, you'll never know if giant baby turtles make for good pets until you've tried it.

Okay, yeah, you're right about that. [It's a fair enough guess, though.]

You can't keep a sentient creature as a pet, Leo.

Okay, fair enough. Make it your friend then. You can be friends with baby turtles, right? [He doesn't even know what he's saying anymore, but he doesn't really want to stop talking to her.]

You can definitely be friends with the baby turtles that you've raised. Or in general! [She doesn't care, keep talking to her. /;3;/]

[vanessa what a cutie ;o;] Soon I'll be making friendship bracelets for baby turtles and they'll never know what hit them.

I don't know, you might have to compete with Percy in that case.

Yeah, you're right. [exaggerated s i g h.] Alas, the thought was awesome while it lasted.

[A grin.] Don't get too down on yourself, Leo. It's not like he can work with machines the way you can.

Not if they're hydraulic—actually, yeah, I'm pretty awesome with machines. [kanyeshrug!]

Even if they were hydraulic, he's only got the water thing down. [She grins.] There you go.

What did I ever do to deserve you? [He sounds mostly joking, but she might detect a little bit of sincerity in that?]

[She's quiet for a second.] You were yourself.

[Oh. The response surprises him because he wasn't actually expecting her to answer that, but after the momentary shock his features soften and he smiles, genuinely this time.]

Thanks.
