Suil, network. Minor question, but I figure I know enough people who can answer it! [he's teasing. More seriously:] What are some of the things you start to notice, getting older?

[he's not telling people about his potential lifespan, there's a safer reason to share]

I looked at some selfies from a couple years ago and some today. My skin's changed, it's thinner now. Not as oily. So that might be it. But I think there's more of a hint of, um, lines around my eyes. [With laughing complaint] I'm twenty-five, this is way too early! And like half-Japanese, that's supposed to set them back more.

Well, I thought of him as a friend, I can tell you a bit! Maybe I should send him a card at Christmas.

I think I can do that. Are you going to smuggle in popcorn?

...I feel like this is turning into dinner and a movie. >>;

He's not a bad guy, all and all, just kind of... prickly.

Nah, I'm cool without. If you're hungry though we can get something after.

[espigeonage]

I know. He takes some getting used to.

Popcorn is a terrible thing to try and fill up on anyway. I'll just have a big lunch and see what I think later. Do they have more options for you there than in Locke?

[arrowpoint]

Oh yeah, totally. This is a bigger city.

[He shrugs a little. He missed the family estate and the woods surrounding it.]

I like Locke better though. I'm not a big cactus fan.

Good! No one likes seeing you starving. And yeah, Vegas is always kinda hot and dusty. It can be beautiful country out there, away from all the neon, but really sparse. I'm surprised the lake hasn't just all evaporated. Maybe it'll end up some kind of oasis there.
