There's a purple, red-headed computer sprite outside, reclining on a big rock by the lake. She's not far from the edge of the forest. There are no seasons in cyberspace - no sun or clouds either - and Mouse enjoys experiencing them every so often

Enzo feels much the same about seasons and weather, as well as other elements of nature such as User trees. He comes cruising in over them, and descends when he spots Mouse.

"Hey, Mouse!"

Mouse sits up and smiles. "Hey, darlin'." She takes a closer look at him and makes a few quick mental calculations. "I think you're gettin' a little too big for that thing." She mimes a sniff and wipes away an imaginary tear. "They grow up so fast!"

As he nears Mouse, Enzo's expression changes, passing rapidly through realization, bug-eyed interest, and discomfort. He fixes his attention on his boogie baud and hopes she hasn't noticed.

"Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it's still bigger than a zipboard or a User skateboard." There's a lot of overhang when he tries to lie on it, though, which he ought to be able to do.

Mouse notices. She always notices. She doesn't get similarly uncomfortable, but for now she suspends her usual adherence to the maxim "flaunt it if you've got it." Not exacerbating the problem is the least she can do.

"Well, as ya may remember, I made this thing t'be upgraded at some future date. I guess this is the future date."
