"...forgot? I didn't know how to do it yesterday either, did you mix me up with somebody else?"

"Oh. I'm used to amaliens who knew how to do things like this at some-point but forget if they don't get reminded. Forgot that you're so new you haven't had time to forget im-por-tant things like blueberry catching."

"Is it important? I guess it's a shame the blueberry fell on the ground."

"It's fun!"

Fika tries to throw a blueberry into Kota's mouth again.

This time he manages to catch it, mostly by holding still and trusting her aim. Nomf.

"Yay! You are a very quick learner for being so new."

"Do you remember being new?"

"Nope!"

"So how do you know how quick new people learn?"

"Well, animals learn really slow when they're new."

"I'm not a baby, though, I'm two."

"I guess I'm just not used to anyone being able to learn things very well when they also are so young they remember how old they are."

"I practice learning things a lot since I go to school every day."

"Oh, I've had a bunch of practice but not much these days cause I already learned all the stuff."

"Wow, all of it?"

"Well, there's new stuff all the time so not all of it all of it, but so much of it that the rest seemed just the same."

"A-men-tans seem not the same though, so I guess I'm learning again! It's fun."

"You could come to school sometime probably! I guess you'd have to ask the principal."

"Who's the principal?"

"The principal is the boss of all the teachers at the school."

"Oh. What sorta things do they teach?"

"Math and sports and form and dance and reading and civics and history."

"What's form? Also what's civics?"

"Form is like how to do stuff without hurting yourself, like falling or picking up heavy stuff. You're supposed to take it before you do martial arts or some of the sports for older kids. Civics is like what all the laws are, in case we grow up to be police and have to know them."

"It's at the same place as your recess?"

"Yeah. Except usually inside."
