[another unfamiliar kid! then again, this one at least reminds him of an adult he's seen around the ship]

[pulls out the headphones. he didn't hear what she said, but he can guess. still, he's not going to just jump into an explanation if he doesn't have to] Hey. Something wrong?

Ah...no. It's just something the ship's up to right now. Nothing for you to worry about.

[loudly, as though he can block out the voice] What's your name? I don't think I've seen you around here before. [her adult counterpart, yes, but he doesn't know if she has those memories, and if he can distract her from the obvious questions, he's willing to try anything]

[well, that confirms it, at least. but he gets the impression she doesn't have her adult memories. he really doesn't want a kid to hear this...] I'm Oliver. Are you doing okay?

[oliverplus]

Ah...he's the ship's captain. Did someone tell you about him?

[savetheliving]

[oliverplus]

[stares] What? Why would anybody say that?

"Oh, he can't hear you. He's too busy screaming inside the little corner of his mind where I've put him."

[cringes] Unless it was something the ship was doing. [it probably was, considering]

[winces] Just ignore it, all right? Maybe I should let you go...
