Hey that's not fair! How come I have to be impossible and you just get to be you?

[Jae's already established that he thinks most people are stupid. It's a nice smile. Tarr really should smile more and there's a chance that at least part of the ridiculous things Jae does are solely to see if he can coax a smile out of the other man. It works sometimes, so he took that as encouragement to continue the habit.]

There's more? [That actually distracts Jae from his exploration so he can gape up at Tarr in childlike wonder.] Can I see those too?!

[Is this what Christmas is like? He hasn't actually been human long enough to experience the holiday yet, but it feels like what he imagines Christmas should feel like.]

[He shifts, adjusting slightly so it's a little easier to touch without having to reach too awkwardly. Stilling for a fraction of a moment at the quiet touch of caution, before nodding and continuing on his merry way.]

So what are they for? These things? [He avoids the spur to touch the arm next to it softly, realizing that maybe finding out what things do is a key factor in the 'can I touch it' game he's kind of playing at the moment.]

Well, duh, you don't normally hang out with hardly anyone. Sometimes I think you have less friends than I do, you know that?

[Which is saying a lot, because Jae hasn't even lived on the surface for all that long.]
