[Still adjusting to his new super-sight, Liam is wearing glasses when he shows up on the screen. A hint of general anxiety is shown by some fidgeting.]
Okay so... things are bad in Locke, right? I haven't been back in a while. People are talking about moving, and I don't want to move. It's like a second home to me, you know?
[He'd spent a lot of time feeling like he wanted to get away from Locke when his sea-longing first kicked in, but now...]
My family has had property there since I was a kid... I mean I get that the property won't go anywhere, but I'm kind of attached to it.
[Liam takes a deep breath then sits back from the camera. When he speaks again, he's less somber.]
Okay, distraction time. So, a lot of people I know have names for their past lives or old selves or whatever - is that pretty common? I figured I should get one too, if that's the case. Don't want to be left out. Any ideas?
[Wait.]
...Okay nobody say "butthead" or something.

[Yes, carrot was more lame than "Plantface."]
If you're bad at names I don't know if I should take any of your suggestions, man. You have one for yourself that's just as horrible?

[A pause]
It's kinda creepy how his name sounds like what my grandmother used to call me. Oh, hey, maybe we should call your guy Lettuce, y'know, L and L?
video
...Um, I could go with an L name, but Lettuce is almost as insulting as Salad.
video
Dude, Salad is totally not insulting, Salad is amazing. Uh. Athelas? That's a plant we know came from our past world.
video
Well.. Athelas does sound kind of sweet. Sounds nice and Elvish.

[This might be the first time Liam has really understood the gravity of Killian's financial situation.]
...We're going next summer. Like, for real.

[Pause.]
And Ocean World. Gotta go to Ocean World.

[Ignoring the general oddity and instability of it but]

Really, you're going to pass up me going "screw organic" for a week? C'mon it'll be fun. We can take Ariel and everybody.

[Congrats, we've upgraded from true dislike to joking around about it.]
You just gotta go at least once in your life. Now you've got me wanting to go, too. It's too bad summer is so far away... I mean you could go any time of year but summer is good for the water parks.
video
Dick. But yeah, Ariel would love the water parks.
