You all better kiss.

I would not wish it on anyone. It is certainly not for the faint of heart.

Sir, I'll have you know my heart is as stalwart as they come!

[ She's no pansy!! ]

Oh, my mistake! Still, I would think you are the type to want to keep your humanity in-tact.

Oh, I do. It's my favorite thing about me.

[ Simply. ]

It is my favorite thing about you, too.

Then we're in agreement!

I wonder if anything we find here is going to surprise you, though. It sounds like your people are pretty advanced.

I am not here for surprises. I am here for the experience!

Besides, this world’s history and my own are not identical. There is sure to be something new around the corner!

So you might be here for the surprises.

[ Well, okay. ]

Either way, let's find your favorite thing of this place!

I am definitely here for something!

[ Okay!! ]

I like the sound of that, but we must find your favorite thing, too! It is only fair! Perhaps it will help me decide on a nickname.

... Okay, so find something and make sure it's cute, for my own sake.

[ SO SERIOUSLY. ]

Hey now. No tipping the scales!

It could still be true!!

[ As she bounds ahead to check out an airplane. ]

Uh-huh.

[ Amused. ]

I have an idea or two already, but I am looking to see if any new inspiration strikes. So please, lead the way.

Ooh--

[ Help, she's already veering. ]

A planetarium!!

[ He keeps up with her just fine! Veering we go-- ]

Are you fond of astronomy?

There's just some things to do with the zodiac, that I'm fond of...

[ Whew. ]

Teens are really into horoscopes, after all.

You are making my original choice of nickname seem that much more correct. Though… do you work with teens?

I write for a teen magazine! And I've had close contact with a group of them! So to answer that--yes!

[ Simply. ]

Do not tell me you write the horoscope section.

I don't. I write articles. But the workplace never shuts up about the horoscopes, so I know more than I should.

So I should not tell you my birthday in exchange for my fortune?

[ He’s just teasing her now. ]

You can if you want to, but I won't be held responsible for what happens.

So scary! You are quite the firecracker, Mademoiselle Maya.

Grazie! I'm going to take that as the compliment it was meant to be, because being scary is a talent!

[ Sure?? ]

Is it?

[ A laugh. ]

You are certainly a force to be reckoned with.
