"This is a hotel. It's for people who might not be around very long. I'm going to stay on this planet, so I want a place to live that isn't a hotel."

"Oh! Where?"

Permalink

She can have directions to the new place, sure.

Permalink

"Will it be just as cozy and warm?"

Permalink

"Should be, yeah."

Permalink

"Okay! Will be sorta fun to see a diff-erent place I guess."

Fika .... rem-embers that big Amentans are people. She should try to do better at treat-in them like that.

"If that's okay with you?"

Permalink

"Yeah, if I was trying to get you to stop sleeping over I wouldn't've told you where it was. You're snuggly and I have no idea why you want to crash with me in particular but it's fine by me."

Permalink

"You're warm and cozy and don't yell at me. And you make good breakfast."

Permalink

"I'm glad you like the breakfast. Are lots of people yelling at you? Weird."

Permalink

"Mhm, but then they stop and teach me how to do things instead. My friend told me I should ask for money so I can get more clothes."

Permalink

"...huh. Yeah, I think you've been in the same outfit every day. Housekeeping here changes the sheets every day so I don't super care but when I have to do my own laundry you should come to bed clean, 'kay?"

Permalink

"Oh. Do you have a laund-ry machine and a bubbly shower room I can use to get clean?"

Permalink

"Yup, apartment comes with both."

Permalink

"Yay!"

"I really like that Amentan places come with bubbles. It's good."

Permalink

"Bubbles are great. Lets you know you've scrubbed right."

Permalink

"Oh, I thought they were there for fun."

Permalink

"They're fun too, sometimes people add extra bubble stuff for fun."

Permalink

"Oh! That sounds neat."

In the morning, after noming some breakfast, she asks:

"Do you know how to get to 17202 Market Street?"

Permalink

"I usually use my everything for directions but I guess you could go to Market and 17th and try to find the right number from there."

Permalink

"How do I find that corner?"

Permalink

"Oh, we're at 12th and Shell here, so you'd just go south a bit till you hit 17th and then take a right and Market would be a few blocks on."

Permalink

Well, that didn't make any sense.

She heads out to see if other Amentans - ideally small ones who are easier to understand - can help her find the bakery.

Permalink

The first small Amentan she finds is on her way to school and cannot help her but the second one has taken the day off school due to a midday doctor's appointment and can! She says, "I know how to find everything! Follow me!" and marches off.

Permalink

As they walk:

"Oh, later do you know how to find my pretty rock?"

Permalink

"You go where it was when you put it down!"
