I'm getting better at it. Having Stone and Moon around you can't help knowing at least a little bit about what other people do.

[tucky]

You miss them a lot. I can tell.

[mentornomore]

I do, but I'm here on purpose. Home will be better when I'm me again.

[tucky]

Did they do the same thing you did, and switch groups?

[mentornomore]

No, just me. Moon didn't even know me back when I was a mentor.

[The sudden question of whether he'd like the change is surprisingly distressing, but not enough to shake Chime's resolve.]

It doesn't happen often. We had to beg at a few different courts' libraries to even prove it had happened before.

[tucky]

Are you still gonna be able to be friends with them?

[mentornomore]

I'm sure things will change, but I liked things better before.

[tucky]

How long has it been since it happened?

[mentornomore]

Almost four turns. Enough time for the court to be more or less saved. No need to turn anyone else into a stupid waste of space.

[tucky]

... Do you know what months and years are? Weeks? 'Cause I don't know what a turn is.

[mentornomore]

Turn of the seasons?

[Which is not quite the same timeframe as on earth, and not a universal way of marking time in the Three Worlds, but close enough.]

[tucky]

Do you have four seasons?

[mentornomore]

In the Reaches, more or less.

[tucky]

So it could be a year... or it could be four years.

[mentornomore]

It's been a while?

[tucky]

Then... I hope it stops soon.

And I hope you don't hate the Barge. It's hard being here if you hate it.

[mentornomore]

I'd rather be home, but I think it's worth it. And I like some things about it.

[He can sort of be pleasant on purpose. Sometimes.]

[tucky]

Like what? The deck? Or the Enclosure? I think the Enclosure's great.

[mentornomore]

[Arch look and boop on the nose for you, Tiffany.]

[tucky]

[She grins at him.]

What?

[mentornomore]

I meant you.

[tucky]

Yeah, I started to figure that. But then I wanted to hear you say it, 'cause I knew it would sound nice.

I'm glad I met you, too.

[mentornomore]

[He wishes all humans were this pleasantly blunt. It'd make his life easier.]

Good, wasn't sure it came across.

[tucky]

I took me a second to get it, is all.

[mentornomore]

As long as we both got there.
