[ The screen is split into two, Estelle's face is staring intently at the monitor as her fingers work quickly and efficiently at typing. While she is still certainly new at this sort of technology, the passion in her heart is fierce and ready for action. She types up a storm but then suddenly stops, bites her lip, and begins to drum her fingers on

You're pretty good.

[marchewaltz]

Oh... thank you so much, sir. I've- are you new here? I don't think we've met before!

[solitaryrepose]

I've been here a couple months. My name's Starrk. Are you normally a writer?

[marchewaltz]

This ship is so large, I'm always so happy to meet new people. My name's Estelle, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!

Oh- I, I really love books and I'm hoping one day someday I can write children's books when we restore our world and save it. I want nothing more than to do that first, but on my spare time I... do dabble a bit into it.

[solitaryrepose]

You could always write children's books for the kids on this ship in the meantime.

[marchewaltz]

You're right... I wish to make others happy, even in times like these. I hope I can do this right.

Do you like books, Mr. Starrk?

[solitaryrepose]

I've never really read any.

[marchewaltz]

T-T-T-That's terrible!

Oh, there's so many good books! Is there any topic you really enjoy? I could get one for you right now, there's self-help books, fantasy, historical, language books, they're all quite fascinating at that!

[solitaryrepose]

I don't know. I've never really thought about what I'd like to read if I ever wanted to read something.

[marchewaltz]

I... think you should think about that, there's something that makes you happy, isn't there?

[solitaryrepose]

Yeah. But what does that have to do with reading?

[marchewaltz]

Because happiness is involved when you read! You have to put your soul into it, you have to take in information and relate it to yourself! It's all relevant, books... books bring out the wonder of imagination and hope in all of us.

[solitaryrepose]

You're a pretty weird girl.

[marchewaltz]

T-That's not...

... Do you really think so?

[solitaryrepose]

I didn't mean it in an offensive way. You're just different from the girls I'm used to.

[marchewaltz]

I'm... happy to hear that, then. Thank you, Mr. Starrk.
