"Perfect," says Silly Putty aloud. "The personality test came up positive. She is exactly as I remember her." "Why are you talking to yourself?" asked Xerox, slightly annoyed. "Because you're busy reading," said Silly Putty. "If you weren't, I could offer a perefectly rational explanation for my actions." "If I allow you to do that, will you leave me be?" asks Xerox. "That," replies Silly Putty, "will depend on several factors. In any case, those actions were a repeat of my minset on my previous visits, as a test to make sure you were still as I remembered you. Your reactions were likewise similar, which lead me to believe you were still brilliant, kind at heart, and strong, perhaps the strongest one in this caravan, emmotionally and physically. Not good at suffering fools, though, which surprises me, considering the ship of fools you've booked passage on. But, more importantly, you are caring, though you hide it well. Your efforts to protect your sister are nothing short of heroic. But perhaps it's time you see another side of me... Ah, you ARE curious, as I expected... I can see it as plain as you could see a smile or a tear." Xerox had to admit that, as thin as her patience was wearing, she had begun to grow curious. "Very well," she said, unable to believe that she had agreed to this "Later today, if you manage not to act like a complete, bungling fool, I will agree to see this other side of you." Silly Putty smiled, not the dopey grin from minutes ago, but a nice, normal smile. Somewhere, deep inside, Xerox noted that it was almost charming. TBC...
