[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.

[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.
