[ Video ] | Well it's not butts this time...

[ Sophie is sitting in front of the corel again, but this time it looks like she's bound and determined to stay put for a while. She must have come across some markers or paints, because she's sitting in front of the coral again, holding a piece of paper with ... what _MIGHT_ be Asbel, but the drawing looked nothing like anything human. She's not an artist okay? ]

Asbel. He looks like this. See? Asbel.

[ Talking to the coral again. She puts the paper down, and after a moment turns to the communicator. ]

I'm going to wait. If I go away, I'll miss seeing Asbel. He's very late.

[ Beat. ] . . . I wanted to leave a message for him with my name, but I don't remember how to write it.

[ She looks terribly sad about this to. And just when you think you've avoided Awkward Questions with Sophie(tm)... ]

The naked boy said it was rude to say "piss", but I thought it was ruder to say "pee". Which is right?

[ Or wrong, for that matter. ]

[ Watch Carefully is her middle name! Sophie nods firmly, creeping closer to observe. ]

Okay, Amane.

[She write down Sophie's name, carefully, letter by letter. S-O-P-H-I-E.]

[ Sophie watches the way her name is written carefully, head tilted with interest. When her name is fully written, she sits back. It did look familiar now that it was completely written out. ]

[When she's done, Amane hold out the crayon.] Give it a try.

[ And diligently, Sophie takes the crayon to repeat what Amane wrote. And she does try! Her writing is just... very unsteady, and crooked. But there's an intent look of concentration not to accidentally write the letters backwards the way her hand seems to want to, and when she is done, she sits back. ]

Is that right?

[She watches Sophie's attempt. It's not perfect, but she did try!]

You almost got it. You just need more practice until you can write them clearly.

[lucentpalisade]

Okay. I'll keep practicing until Asbel gets here. Then it'll be very clear.

[twiceinhabited]

That's right. Then he can read it and be happy.
