"Uh, it has some silly games on it, it can take pictures, soon it'll let you talk to other people who have one but it doesn't do that yet, I'd need to figure out how to go to space."

"...okay."

Thumbnail computer! He shows her how to use it.

She's quietly attentive, thanks him again, and goes off to her room.

And he goes back to reading.

No one will bother him for the next couple of hours.

That's good. He will at some point need to look up the step-by-step on satellite launches in orbit and the precise models he'll need so they successfully talk to his thumbnail computers, but he is pretty sure it's in the files somewhere, Cam gave a bunch of places internet recently. And he probably shouldn't make his computer while in Brazil, that'll prompt more questions. 

When he gets bored of engineering books and is pretty good at reading Portuguese even with Allspeak off he makes dangerously strong magnets in cool shapes and makes little rails so they can race around his walls and bounces them off each other so they make cool sounds. If these security cameras were standard security cameras he would be messing them up, but they're tinker cameras so he's not sure. He can check that when he's not in Brazil, too.

Yeah a few minutes after he starts doing that there's a knock.

"Come innnnn!"

Doctor Ximenes does. "Good afternoon."

"Afternoon!" Zoom zoom go the magnets.

"What are those?"

"Magnets?"

"That looks a bit dangerous."

"Nah, they just go zoom-zoom. I guess it wouldn't be safe to eat them or something."

"And how did your day go?"

"Good! I read my book until I got bored, then I started playing. I like the other kids. One of them thought I'd have to go to school. Do I really?"

"Yes, all children should go to school. Even if there are things you won't have to use in practice, it helps stimulate your brain in the right ways so you can grow healthy and learn how to think critically."

"What sort of stuff do they teach?"

"Children your age, usually how to read and some basic mathematics, but," she glances at his book, "we might move on to more advanced mathematics, grammar, history, geography, and science for you."

"...okay. And I can make things to help me understand?"

"Of course."

"All right. ...I'll make a list of things I want to learn and then we can go through the list!"

"Sure! But there are some things everyone should learn, so if they're not on the list we'll also have to add them."

"Okay, if I don't already know them."
