"Hm? Oh. Kendal. My name's Kendal."

   The smile was responded to with a    smirk and she prepared to keep up,    she moved. “So—I didn’t quite catch    your n a m e.”

Part of him wondered whether her cousin got called Barbie  too, but after a few weeks with the Squip, he knew better than to ask. "Y'from 'round here?"

“Think I’ve got a cousin             with that name. ‘S real cute.”

   Her tone suggests she’s    teasing, though the    expression upon her    countenance suggests    otherwise.

“Same t’you—considering          the circumstances.”

"Makes sense," he said, giving her a smile. "Just follow me."

  “Thank you. I’d rather not get lost—again.”

  It apparently had become a habit; getting lost.   So it was genuine gratitude that sounded in   her voice.

"Would you, I don't know, maybe want to do something, with me, this friday?"

BE CONFIDENT KENDAL. YOU SOUND LIKE A P___Y.

Petrol?

GAS. ITS ANOTHER WORD FOR GAS.

Gotcha. "Yeah, there's one just a block that way,                       I can show ya' if you'd like."

       Oh—fine brows rose in realisation and she        turned her head to look to the left, then to        the right until her look was eventually cast        upon him again. Her lower lip ended up being        tucked in as a frown made it quite obvious        that she had taken the w r o n g turn.

       “Well then—could you perhaps tell me the        way to the next petrol station? That way I        won’t bother you much longer and hit the        road.”

"Uh, yeah," he said, clearing his throat,                         "I get that a lot actually."

"Gotta say, you sounded older on the phone. I thought you were kinda old soundin’. You don’t sound like that at all now."

     "Kendal. 'm Kenal."   He gave her another smile,      just like the Squip had   taught him. He was a fast      student. "Nice to meet'cha."

 The young woman trails behind a   moment, then proceeds to pick up   the pace in order to walk to the   right of him.

“—So. I figure if you’re gonna buy me  coffee I should at least introduce myself.  Name’s Winifred, but most folks just call me Winnie. Now, ‘s only fair I get to ask  what your name is, don’tcha think?”

AWAKE.

   The Squip stimulated     the part of Kendal's    brain that would keep     him awake.        His head popped up, looking around.        "Hm, uh, yeah?               Oh, you're in Sommer's Point."

  And she’s nudging his shoulder to wake him.

  “I asked you about my whereabouts.   But if you’re rather in dreamy land, I’ll just   ask someone who’s a tad more interested.”

READY.

"Ready."

"Alright, cool. Ready when you are, sir."

You just agreed to die for an hour. He totally thinks you’re his twelve o’clock.

   SHE IS FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE.

Yeah, and what am I supposed to do about it?  Sometimes the Squip was more annoying than helpful. He made a mental note to tell the lab about that.

   YOU JUST DON'T LIKE BEING IN THE WRONG.

Shut up.

                            "Yeah. 'm Kendal.                                   Nice to meet you.."  He hoped she would give her name.

   ”Umm, thanks? That’s very                  sweet of you to say.”

    That’s not unusual.                  Compliments are thrown at her daily. Why is she suddenly wary around this stranger?     “You’re new, right?”

JUST AGREE. NOD AND AGREE.

What am I even saying yes to? He hadn't been paying attention. Not completely anyway. "Yeah. Totally."

                "There's a place down the block.                          C'mon."           And with that Kendal started off down the street,                 anticipating that the brunette would follow.

Malachite optics survey the other, if only for a moment—but her reply comes easily.

“Cool, sure. Thanks.”

She doesn’t hesitate much before sending a warm simper of her own towards him before inquiring, “Lead the way?”
