"... Don't kittens grow up to be cats?" Fin asked, trying to understand her metaphors better.

Frei nodded but Fin was getting the feeling that trying to explain the way she thought was very difficult for her. "But... a kitten can't understand a cat who's lived many lives." She seemed to be attempting to warn him.

Fin frowned. He seemed to be catching on a little. "... Alright," he told her.

Frei seemed content with that as she turned to the screen. She seemed to be interested in what books he'd been reading.

Some of the selections made no sense; they were probably from him practicing using the technology. He had chosen a few popular books amongst teens right now. He also found some manuals for random appliances on the Juttle and even downloaded a spec of the Juttle.

Frei looked at Fin, "... You like the electronics?" she asked.

"... I... haven't seen so many in one place," Fin explained.

Frei nodded a little.

Fin didn't say anything more about that as he started tugging on his clothes again.

Frei seemed to work something through in her mind. It took a long time for her to process her thought and then to formulate it into words. But then she asked, "Do you... want to meet your brother?"

Fin thought about it awhile. "I don't know," he replied quietly.

"You... don't have family," she clarified, eyes questioning a little.

Fin paused before shaking his head, subconsciously grabbing for his necklace again.

"Then... you should meet the cat," she replied, falling back into metaphors.

"... He doesn't want to met me," Fin replied quietly.

"He doesn't... believe it yet," Frei replied.
