"If you came over to our apartment sure."

Fika nods - she is going to taste a new thing with her new friend it's so good!

"That sounds really fun!"

"Then when I go home I can bring you I guess!"

Fika jumps from one branch to the other excitedly!

"It's sorta nice to have new people with new homes I can go to!"

"Yeah! It's so so so cool that we found you guys even if you aren't like TV aliens."

"What are TV aliens like?"

"Usually they're weird but not in the being immortal kids way."

"Seems sorta weirder to be a person who changes into something else than to just be like an amalien but I guess cat-er-pillars are sorta like that?"

"Well we don't change like caterpillars, we just grow up!"

"I thought caterpillars also do that?"

"Caterpillars change shape. We just get, like, taller."

"And we spring."

"Yeah but we look the same after that."

FIka curls up and then jumps grabbing onto a branch above her.

"Is springing like that?"

"No, because we look the same, not different like butterflies."

Fika thinks that they look really different but maybe it's rude to say that? She's not sure.

"I think you look really different sorta?"

"I guess but we don't grow wings! We still have arms and legs."

"'less you're on your moon?"

"Those are fake wings."

"Oh, I think you should have real ones."

"...well, we don't."

Nod nod,

"I don't think I'd like growing up, it seems complicated."

"I never really thought about just staying a kid forever. It seems like it might not involve getting to pilot spaceships."

"I think I could learn to pilot a spaceship if I wanted to. Meelia might learn to do that - she likes adventuring."

"Maybe. They're all sized for grownups."

"Hm, I haven't noticed that that has stopped me from doing many things but maybe that's 'cause I haven't tried things like spaceships."

"I guess maybe you could get a spaceship built for your size if you were really rich."
