As in, he likes them a lot, or...?

[preowned]

It's because Date Masamune was known as the One-Eyed Dragon of Ōshu...

[ a pause. ]

He was a famous warlord in Japan.

[agleam]

Oh.

[he immediately just chalks it up to kara being a nerd, which is valid in his book.]

Maybe we'll get phones sometime and you can take a picture to bring back home to him.

[preowned]

... take pictures with a phone?

[ they didn't have phones in crau1 or subd ]

[agleam]

Oh, yeah!

[a long pause.]

I have no idea how to explain this, but I can probably show you if we do get them at some point!

[preowned]

I see... it sounds like technology has advanced again?

[ humans are so neat with their little items... ]

[agleam]

Yeah! I was surprised, too.

[a beat]

Well, not because technology advanced, I know that always happened. But by the phone, definitely! I've never seen anything that could do half the things it could.

[preowned]

Was it at that school then...?

[agleam]

It was, yeah. I learned a lot about how to use them! I probably don't have the full picture, still, but they're neat.

[preowned]

Wow! Well, you still know a lot more than I do.

[ which is literally nothing! he's starting from the literal bottom! ]

[agleam]

Maybe you'll get to text...

[he says that like it's a magic word]

[preowned]

I'll get to text?!

[ what the FUCK is texting ]

[agleam]

If we get phones, yeah! I could totally show you.

[since he sounded so excited he's assuming he knows what texting is somehow]

[preowned]

Cool... I hope we get them...

[ a pause ]

We probably won't now.

[agleam]

You're thinking I jinxed it, aren't you?

[preowned]

I am, yes.

[ he'll just readily admit to it ]

[agleam]

...You know, normally I would say that's not a thing, but whoever brought us here might be the type that wouldn't give us something because they heard someone might enjoy it?

[so perhaps he has a point...]

[preowned]

I definitely expect that to happen.

Perhaps we can trick them...

[agleam]

If you've got any ideas, I'm all ears.

[he pauses and then says loudly, up at the ceiling:]

If you're listening, by the way, I still hate you.

[preowned]

[ in a very cheerful, energetic tone, ]

Yeah! We hate you!

[agleam]

[he gives him a thumbs up.]

I decided I'm going to do that at least once every day because it makes me feel marginally better and they should continue to have to know about it.

[preowned]

I'll make sure to do it too, just so they don't ever believe they are safe.

[agleam]

I thought about leaving notes around now that we had paper, too, but I'm not sure they'd be able to see those.

[preowned]

They might not...

[ in a hushed tone ]

Maybe they can't read.

[agleam]

[echoing the tone:]

Ohhhh. That would make sense.

[how]
