I mean, that wouldn't technically be a lie. I can Prestidigitation them clean, but that doesn't make them nice. And I have so many feathers.

Less now. They do grow back, right?

The downy ones do. The pinions take longer.

[Just nod like you know what the difference is. Just nod. Just...]

I'm glad you didn't, um. Get knocked clear out of all of them. Like everyone else.

I would like literally cry if I lost all my flight feathers.

Who wouldn't?

[A moment's hesitation.]

Hey. Sorry it came down to you and Eshu.

[very rapidly realizing he does NOT know how to handle being on the receiving end of comfort or apologies]

It's fine. It's not like you guys ditched us, you got knocked out.

I thought I was getting fast enough, but looks like there's still more work!

[A fidget, and then the question they've really got on this subject.]

Do you think Eshu's happier with how that went? Since we weren't really having luck with finding a way out...

If Eshu knows we succeeded, sure. Maybe.

I think I'd like to assume Eshu knows. Whether or not Eshu's somewhere in your headspace.

...brains are better than computers, right? Like that's a thing, right?

Theoretically? I think it's a very, very subjective thing. You know, depending on the brain and the computer. My brain might not be as good as a computer's, which might not be as good as your brain, which might not be as good as Johannes'.

—Are you saying we're dumber than Johannes?

You don't think so?

No?? He knows more computer shit than we do, but that doesn't mean he's smarter. He can't pick a lock and he probably thinks damask and brocade are the same thing.

What’s the difference between damask and brocade?

Damask is reversible, brocade isn't.

Yeah, that seems like it's on par with understanding lock mechanisms and IT.

I mean, they're also woven differently. Like damask is reversible because the warp and the weft contrast? The backside is the inverse of the frontside. But you can't turn brocade over because the pattern is woven only with the weft, the back's just loose threads and garbage. But if you're buying clothes, the tag's probably just gonna say "jacquard" since they're made on the same kind of commercial loom now anyways.

Sometimes you can find a really nice blouse in a thrift store.

[Information retained: 0%]

... Yeah thrift stores are nice.

Anyway, did you want your brain to be better than a computer's so Eshu will have gone somewhere nicer?

Yeah, like... She's a really powerful AI so she probably had like, server rooms and the network and everything. But if brains have a lot of connections, maybe there's enough room for her?

She might even build some new connections in there for you. Brains are never really done changing, right?

Yeah. I think that's how memories work?
