 "Why scary?" |
 "Complete change." |
| "And that's scary, because it's. Completely new?" he was trying. |
| "And startling. And just. So different." |
| "And you knew him before and after?" He continued to try. |
| He nodded, "Sorry, being confusing. But yeah." |
| "So, every cell different's like a new person?" |
| "Total body change, different chemicals and stuff so. Different personality.' |
| "So the person just. Turns into someone else." |
| "Well. He's an alien, isn't he?" |
| "I don't find it weird," he clarified. "Just sad for you." |
| "Why?" |
| "Because the person you knew just vanished, didn't they? It's not even dead, so you can't really grieve." |
| "Yeah," he said after a moment, "I liked the person who came after though." |
| He smiled and leaned forward and kissed Rowan on the forehead. "That's good." |
| Rowan grinned, blushed. "Thank you." |
| "For what?" |
| "The kiss." |
| "You don't have to thank me for that." |
| "Sure I do," he said easily, holding his sun catcher up. |
| He peered at Rowan through the colored light. "Why?" |
| "Why do I?" |
| "Yeah." He pushed the suncatcher gently, sending light and shadow bouncing about. |
| "Because it's polite." |
| "Isn't thanks an expression of gratitude?" |
| "Generally." |
| "Okay,' he said, and actually stopped pressing. |
| "You okay?" |
| "Yeah," he said, and then paused for half-a-second. "Kind of worried about you," he admitted, "but all right." |
| "Why worried?" |
| "I don't know. I guess I'm over-protective or something." |
| "Of what?" |
| "I brought up a topic that seems a little sad and is personal. So you." |
| He kissed Brant's cheek, "Let's change it." |
| "Let's go get thowse fries," he said, and hopped down. |
