"It's not. The sun is a huge ball of fire—more or less—and it's the whole reason we exist. All the energy on the planet, the energy that's in food and in all living beings, it comes originally from the sun. Fire's life."

"Oh- I. Didn't know that." He brightens again. "Thank you for telling me." (He's not sure he believes it, but he wants to.)

She can tell. "I'll find a documentary about how planets are formed so you'll see how that works. Fire also keeps people warm in the winter when it's cold, and I read somewhere that there's a theory that humans only had enough energy from food to get really big brains and become smart like we are when we learned to cook food using fire, because before that we couldn't digest things very easily."

"Thank you," he says brightly, happily.

"Okay, so, I have to go to school today, but mmm, I kinda don't want to just leave you in this bathroom all day getting bored of watching documentaries..."

Permalink

"I- it's okay! I- better than- the box."

Permalink

"I aspire to a higher standard than 'better than the box'!"

Permalink

He does the flickering, almost-blush. "I- you- thank you. I- did you- have an idea?"

Permalink

"I have the beginnings of an idea, but I'll need to go buy some stuff for it to work."

Permalink

"Oh. That- that's- thank you?"

Permalink

"It's the least I can do."

Permalink

He flickers, and tilts in obvious confusion. "I- but- you- didn't mean- to end up with me?"

Permalink

"Maybe I didn't mean it but now I did so it wouldn't be good of me to—not take this responsibility seriously."

Permalink

"O-oh. I- As you say, thank you. I- I really appreciate this."

Permalink

She smiles. "Okay so, documentaries for now, I'll be back around fourish PM, I'll leave you some stuff to, ah, eat, and then I'll buy the things."

Permalink

He brightens. "Thank you. I- have a good day?"

Permalink

"Thank you." He's so cute. Aaah. "Okay so how's space documentaries for today?"

Permalink

"That'll be- cool? Thank you?"

Permalink

"No problem!" Documentaries are set up.

Permalink

And Nova settles in happily to continue watching them.

Stars! Space! The Sun! The Earth!

Permalink

Small ball of fire imitating a sun! Or star. One of those two things!

Permalink

Which is what Sadde comes home to. "Are you a star?"

Permalink

He brightens. "Trying to be. Seemed cool."

Permalink

"Stars are really cool! Did you get to the part where the sun's the origin of all life?"
