Sadde is home; it's a Friday evening, his shift is over, and there's no school. He's reading a book, lying on his bed in his small-but-tidy apartment.
He is also quite naked, because it's his place and why not?

Until that week I would've said I was sort of okay at languages. I guess motivation matters.
the-long-dawn
And if you're ever transported to a strange planet where no one speaks English, you'll find out if motivation makes you any less terrible.
mxglam
Yeah.
And on another subject, I don't think there's a good way to ask this, but you didn't tell anyone else about the coat, did you?
the-long-dawn
No problem.
Let me take this moment to complain about Earth mathematical notation. Who decided that putting things next to each other means multiplying them? Why did this seem like a good idea?
mxglam
I don't know who decided it but you can always use a dot, or an x, or a *, or something XD
the-long-dawn
Believe me, I do. My problem is that other people don't, so I'm always left wondering if these particular things are being multiplied or if they are just hanging out together for other, innocent reasons.
mxglam
I'm pretty sure there aren't other innocent reasons for that in Earth notation.
mxglam
Hahahahahahahaha okay fair enough I had forgotten about that. It should still probably be understandable from context?
the-long-dawn
You could help me test my weapons. Might do me some good to spend time with someone who's not part of the exact same group as everyone else I know.
mxglam
Is that your asking me out on a date? Because I might just say yes.
(For the record this is a joke, unfortunately computers aren't good at conveying tone.)
(Unless it's not.)
the-long-dawn
Maybe you'll refuse because I'm secretly a prince and you don't want to get involved in the politics of strange worlds.
(I'm not secretly a prince.)
(What do the people of Earth do on dates?)
