[hijoperdido]

I- Yeah. [Nods again.]

All right. I just... Thanks.

[curriculum_fictae]

Of course.

[ A pause. ]

Uh, though I still very much need to leave, of course.

[hijoperdido]

Oh yeah, no, definitely. You cannot stay here. Don't know how though.

[curriculum_fictae]

... Can you take me to the border of the encanto?

[hijoperdido]

[Give him a second, he's gotta think about that...

Nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, I think so. But - look, I'll be honest, I dunno what's out there. I've never been outside, all I know are the stories Abuela used to tell me and mis hermanas growing up. It's not... good.

[curriculum_fictae]

I believe it. But - I don't have any other ideas.

[hijoperdido]

All right.

Just - let me know when. I'll take you.

[curriculum_fictae]

After breakfast?

[hijoperdido]

After breakfast.

[And that just reminds him he was holding food. Gonna munch on that. Still half sitting in Martin's lap. Yep.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ It's okay, Martin's munching around him so. ]

Is this how things usually go for you?

[hijoperdido]

Usually, yeah. If things break around the house, I'll fix them when no one's looking.

[curriculum_fictae]

... So you don't talk to them, and they hate your power, but you still fix things behind the scenes ...

[hijoperdido]

[He give a half shrug, tilting his head a bit.]

It's what I can do to help the family...

[curriculum_fictae]

No, no. I got that. I'm not arguing.

[hijoperdido]

Oh. You just, I dunno. You sounded like you had a thought about it.

[curriculum_fictae]

Just the usual one.

[hijoperdido]

That it's so very very sad and you don't agree with how I handle things and that I should leave, right, got it.

[curriculum_fictae]

Yes, all of that. So. No sense repeating it.

[hijoperdido]

Yeah. Yyyyeah I thought so. You do this thing with your face when you're thinking it and trying not to say it.

[curriculum_fictae]

I - I do not.

[ He makes it again. ]

[hijoperdido]

That. That one.

[POINTING.]

That face.

[curriculum_fictae]

Okay fine. I am trying to hold it in though.

[hijoperdido]

Well, good news is you'll probably not have to hold it in for long if you're wanting to get out of here after breakfast. So no worries.

[curriculum_fictae]

Right, right. I don't - mind being here, but I don't want to risk your family.

[hijoperdido]

And that, that means a lot. So. Thank you.
