[ he's something. he's just a little guy... roboji is fond of this pat, and shoma grins a bit with that. ]
Yeah, I've thought about being a robotics designer. I have stuff to learn, but it's...something I want to keep doing if I can.
[ and there she continues to talk about her friend and he's very clearly listening, absorbing the information and filing it away for thought. ]
A marionette. [ a puppet? he supposes there are more unusual things by now, and when she describes him and says things...there's a flicker of sympathy. not being allowed to be himself, huh? a trapping of a different kind. ]
...but it sounds like you do. Allow him to be himself and make those mistakes without being mad. [ "that's a good thing", he thinks, though not loud enough for her to hear. ] Is there anything you can do to help him?

Could be why he acts so serious. She hopes not. She hopes he can have fun when he wants to.]
Well, we try? [Rosamund nods.] It's just a matter of fixing everything else.
And we do have a plan for that, actually. We were in the middle of it before I came here — or rather, just before the end? I can't say if it'll work until we see the result, but I'm hoping so.
[ wild. that's a mystery for another time, he's carefully locking his feelings back up again to resume the same placid calm as before. ]
One thing always leads to another, right? You start fixing something unrelated and then you find out that it's tied to something else. [ makes sense. ] ...they brought a lot of people here from points in time right before something important was about to happen. So I guess this answers the question about if you'll go back to the exact same time when the tour's over.
