...Ah, I understand now.

[Asher's still a teenager, at heart. And in mind.]

You will find your own path eventually. Or, you will die.

[UNNECESSARILY BRUTAL but actually that's just casual Buddhism.]

But I have faith you will sooner find the former.

[He is, because until he set foot in this place, he hasn't quite been able to grow from that point.

Adulthood comes with responsibility, earning. What has he earned, in life? Almost nothing. Everything's been handed to him on a silver platter.]

Thanks.

[At last, he's beginning to understand it.]

Sorry for... Bugging you, or whatever it was that I was doing.

I'll go.

Your questions are odd, and you are blunt.

But your conversations do not bother me in the slightest. I still enjoy speaking with you, Asher.

You treat me like I am a person. That is more than I can say for many, in my world.

That said, if you are leaving, be sure to drink more water.

Maybe it's the alcohol or the fact that the year is coming to a close and giving him time to reflect, but the young man suddenly feels a flicker of something he can't place very well. It's warm and wonderful and lovely, but he can't say he's experienced it often.

He's chased it so very much, but it always seems to slip right through his fingertips.]

Yeah, I will.

[How does he explain to Zenyatta, that despite being a robot, in some ways...

He seems more human than so many of the others he's met in his life?]

It's no biggie.

You're a chill dude.

[iomnic]

["You're a chill dude" does not really communicate that message or intent but you sure tried.]

Have a safe time.

[As if this entire conversation wasn't obnoxious enough:]
