Um, if you ever need anything... you can contact me. Or... maybe we can eat together if you feel like it...

[ Ivan knows. "Okay" is a great word to use for these things... except when you're on the other side of that "okay."

And Ivan feels like he owes Shinji for his help earlier in the rover. The least he can do is offer this. ]

They haven't been rude to you, right? Or mean? I know it's a big change. And if they're mean, well, just tell me and I'll take care of it. [ and by take care of it, she means contact the involved parties and bitch at them.

for all her lack of tact, and social skills, sharon knows what it's like to be bullied, and to be alone. she won't let anyone do that to shinji--or anyone she knows--if she can help it. ]

CALLING: Seta, Souji

Hi, Shinji. This is Souji, from the English classes.

Is now a good time for extra lessons?

[forevalone]

Ah, hello.

It's fine, yes.

_{[It's not like he's doing anything else.]}

[forevalone]

_{[Oh...he didn't expect this message either. Look at all these people checking in on him!]}

I guess so. _{[No. Not really.]} I wish I didn't have to move.

[forevalone]

_{[Had they been rude? No more rude than others back home were. Were they mean? Well...that was debatable. Here comes the honest answer:]}

...They scare me.

[forevalone]

That's very kind of you. Thank you.

_{[No seriously, it is.]}

...You would want to eat with me?

[fossils]

Sorry. Think it might have been my fault. They moved in a friend of mine.

[ He didn't make the request, but Steve feels pretty bad about that. ]

Have you met any of your rovermates yet?

[forevalone]

Oh. Well, I'm happy you're with your friend.

_{[Really, he means that, even if it's left him with not so pleasant people.]}

I have, yes.

[fossils]

Thank you.

[ Bucky probably would have freaked Shinji out even more . . . ]

What are they like?

[forevalone]

...They scare me.

_{[Aside from Elizabeth, but that made her the minority, not the majority.]}

[fossils]

Are they trying to push you around?

[ He's trying to gauge this on a Shinji scale of scary. ]

[forevalone]

Not...exactly. One of them just seems really mean and the other is younger than me but is really intimidating. Only one of them seems nice...but I don't know if that's because she's genuinely nice or just finds me pathetic. I haven't met the other one but I don't have high hopes.

[sponsorigami]

Yes... but if you'd rather eat alone, I understand that too. I still want to offer though

[forevalone]

Ah, no. I'd like to...

[fossils]

Well, I could talk to the one giving you a hard time if you want. But in my experience the best thing you can do is stand your ground. Show them you're not pathetic.

There were people offering self-defense classes. Have you thought about taking that up?

[forevalone]

...Wouldn't that cause more trouble?

<sub>[Won't they just think he's a tattletale and want to kill him? He doesn't want to die...

He wants to tell Steve that he is pathetic but...he probably doesn't want to hear that.]</sub>

I was thinking about it but then I chickened out. I'll be the worst one there and they'll probably all laugh at me.

[fossils]

That's why it's better if you can do it yourself. But if you can't, I'm here.

If you're interested then I can teach you.

[forevalone]

I don't think they want to listen to someone like me. They've already passed their judgement, as far as I can tell.

Really? You would?

[fossils]

Won't know until you talk to them.

Usually got some free time in the early morning hours. Let me know when you want to meet up.

[forevalone]

I don't even know what I'd tell them. The one looked like he wanted to kill me just because I sat in the driver's seat when no one else was around.

Okay, I will...Thank You.

[fossils]

Maybe his face is just like that. Did they make you driver again?

Don't forget.

[forevalone]

No, they didn't. The person I haven't met yet is. I was just curious to see if the controls were the same.

...I won't. I promise.

[sponsorigami]

Me too... I know we're on different teams, but we can try to find times to do so. Something

[forevalone]

Do you like the team you're on?
