I'm relieved, to be honest. Most people aren't so kind as you are.

Many of those scars came before I entered the field, actually. You might say that these hands have seen too much.

It's a true enough here on Adaptive. Too many people knowing too much too soon.

Too much of Adaptive knows it. Have you experienced it as well, I take it?

Of course.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Can I ask if it cost you your hearing? Mine nearly stole my voice and scarred my body. I don't know what I could be now, other than a mercenary.

I was born this way.

I'm sorry. I should not have asked. Should I tell you mine in exchange? The chemical-heavy air of Sidewinder's mines siphoned my voice away.

Maybe we should speak of happier things.

I'm sorry for what happened to you. I'm glad you got out.

What founds as happier thoughts for you?

Simple pleasures? Running, days without plague clouds, a newly-wound skein of yarn. For you?

Those rare days when I can sleep in first thing in the morning. The first time reading a book. The smell of that really expensive Jedanese coffee the cafe near the twins' daycare makes.

You have twins? How old are they>

I think I know which cafe you mean. The one that also sells the imported teas?

They're my little siblings, five years old.

Oh yes, that place. I hear their teas are wonderful. And Jedanese. Those are supposed to be some of the best beans in the colonies. I can't imagine how a small place in Gulch can afford to carry them. But they smell so amazing.

You are a brave man to care for two five-year-olds.

We could always meet for a cup some time, if you would like.

They're only the youngest of our family. But they're wonderful. Alike as the sun and the moon.

A kind offer but I can't afford the rates that coffee shop charges.

Only? How many other siblings do you have?

Consider it my treat, from one tea aficionado to another.

Sadly I'm a coffee fan, not a tea aficionado.

Seven siblings including the twins.

You're missing out. Sure you won't let me convert you? Or at least treat you to Jedanese coffee?

Seven siblings is a massive family. I'm impressed.

It is a massive family, but we love each other...

Are you serious?

I hear that does help. Especially when you have twins. I hear they can be devious.

Quite serious. I know better than to joke about coffee.

Devious hasn't quite happened yet. They're still at the adorable and needing support phase. But Devious is starting.

Oh. Wow. Um, yes, I suppose at some point I could take you up on that. My brother is always encouraging me to get out more.

You are indeed a braver man than I if you will care for devious twins, let alone five other siblings.

Let me know when you would like to meet. I have a very flexible schedule.

Well, one of those other siblings is an older brother, so that's less bad. And the twins are the youngest.

Are you free Saturday morning or afternoon? I have come into the rare possession of free time then.

Less bad? How so? Does he make the little ones misbehave?

Saturday is great. Afternoons work best for me, but I can come earlier.

No, it means there is another authority figure to back me up.

Maybe... we can meet there at one?

Authority figure? Your parents are gone?

One it is.
