[He doesn't look at Martin, just keeps his head down against him.]

What would I even say to 'em? 'Sorry I've been gone, I've been living in the walls for ten years'?

[curriculum_fictae]

I mean. That is a start, yes?

[hijoperdido]

[He stops for a second. Leans back to look up at Martin again confused before realizing Martin is dead serious.]

Great. What then. After that.

[curriculum_fictae]

Then we explain your concerns about - well, everything that’s going on? I can help with that part.

[hijoperdido]

I, uh. You've met me, you know me, I'm not so good with the talking part. So maybe you could, I dunno, maybe- Just. You handle it.

[curriculum_fictae]

…

You. Want me to talk to your family for you?

[hijoperdido]

I mean, if you're offering.

[curriculum_fictae]

I - well - okay! But! You have to be there with me. Otherwise they’re just going to scream about some pasty stranger in their house.

[hijoperdido]

No, right, yeah no of course. Maybe- Maybe you can say you just found me somewhere else, I have definitely not been living in the walls for ten years, something else, something different.

[curriculum_fictae]

… somewhere outside? So I’m bringing you home?

[hijoperdido]

...I guess that works. I've never thought about this before.

[curriculum_fictae]

You’ve also never had these sorts of disruptions happen before either.

[hijoperdido]

[He rubs at his arm nervously.]

No, no I haven't. Um. It's, y'know, it's new and. I-i dunno, maybe they'll feel a little better seeing you. I do. So they should too.

[curriculum_fictae]

... I just have that sort of aura, eh?

[hijoperdido]

You do, yeah. It's a good thing.

[curriculum_fictae]

[ He laughs a little. ]

And you look like you need a hug.

[hijoperdido]

You said that a lot the last time you were here.

[curriculum_fictae]

And do you need them any less?
