I can take those little wigglers back if you want me to, they're kind of distracting, I know. [The pair of them like to nest in his hair seeing as the top of his head is warm, and he can feel their little heat spots against his scalp when they sleep.]

Maybe? I always get nervous talking to women I don't really know... [He said some stupid things to Ulla when they first met, probably had to Taylor and he doesn't even remember it, but it would be nice, for sure.] I dunno if she has any fun stories with Alan, but I guess I could ask... [He can tell she's putting a pin in the other conversation, taking in a deep breath before pushing himself up to stand. He'd been doing a lot of walking in the Enclosure over the month, but it would be nice to go somewhere that wasn't the east coast, less chilly and wet.]

Sure, not like sitting here trying not to panic is going to do me any good anyways.
