“But! You should show me sometime, if you can. Or want to. Maybe seeing it in action will help me figure it out! I’ll try it out anyway before then, though. Oh man, I can’t believe it, I wonder if my mom even knew about this. I could help plants grow! I could help a hundred plants grow! I could start a forest! A forest in the dark of gigantic ferns! Hey, does it work on fungus too? Oh man, gigantic mushrooms!”

“Oh, we’re also to the top floor, finally. I feel like those stairs are longer than normal today or something. The braille books are back there, on those shelves in the corner!”

[As glad as Micah was to have met someone he could relate to, even if only slightly, he was even more glad that they had reached the top of the stairs at long last. It seemed as if they had been talking forever…another thing he wasn’t all that used to. Oh well.]

“..Thank you, again.”

“No worries, despite everything, I’ve at least learned from rock how to be patient. And I really should be thanking you, it was honestly my pleasure. I hope to see you soon!”

“I…don’t know.”

Wait did I ever say she started moving again. Um.

AnywayS.

Oz shrinks back a bit and raises her shoulders.]

“I, um..”

[She glances down.]

“Yea, I need to work on that.”

[She perks back up because Oz is actually the peppiest fucker this side of the planet.]
