[at first, the video flips on to a screen partially obscured by a renamon's clawed hand. she's holding the communicator out to someone. her voice is low, but firm.]

Just try. You need to practice.

[there's a somewhat indignant huff, and then small (human) hands reach for the comm. the video shuts off. a few minutes later, text:]

My name is Nill. My partner is Renamon. Namine is helping me read and write. I should practice. Tell me about you with typing. Please.

Ah... We worked together. Hello again.

permavid & text.

[culver]

Hello. How are you?

Now with less fail

[innermonologues]

I'm neutral. You?

[culver]

I am okay.
Why neutral?

[innermonologues]

It's my default.

[culver]

Oh. I guess okay is mine.

[innermonologues]

[ That gets a tiny snort out of him. ]

Being okay is better than not. It's a good default.

[culver]

I am glad.

[innermonologues]

So... is Renamon an efficient teacher?

[culver]

She is very smart.

[innermonologues]

That's good. It's important for people to read and write. Not only for missions but recreational purposes as well.

[culver]

It is easier to talk this way.

[innermonologues]

Yeah. that's something we both can agree on.
