[rogue. why are you making him have to work out how to use this silly contraption? ... wait, it's not letting him write anything. where has the keyboard gone?]

[oh look!]
I'm glad at least one of us enjoys using this thing.
[he's about five seconds away from crushing his phone each time he uses it. so it's only the fact that it's her that keeps him from following through this time. (she should feel proud).]
I fail to see the purpose of it. If you wish to meet people, then go outside and look for them. Everybody is here for the same reason.
[it's something he normally wouldn't say. people's lives are their own, and he generally has no interest in hearing about them unless they pertain to him. but here, he knows he needs to form those relationships with others. he needs to get to know them. rogue seems like a good enough start.]
A brief demonstration, perhaps. But I need little more than that.
One day I might just. I'm fairly protective of them.
[So she needs to trust him first, and that may take some time considering some of the people she's met already. Luckily she's still trying to be open-minded as well.]
[he knows the requirements for staying here. but for the time being, he doubts he'll be capable of much more than holding hands with somebody else. it feels far too much like cheating on magda to even consider anything else.]
I simply meant that I prefer to be called by my name.
Well that's just a habitual Southern thing. Sugar and darlin will also happen.
[In other words, deal with it Erik, at least on the pet names like that. She'll never push him or anyone for anything here, even if the city weren't 100% about consent.]

You bet your britches I am. It just takes practice.
To be fair, I think Cuddlr is stupid, but some people are pretty revealing in their profiles.
[So maybe she's actually looking for other people with powers.]

You fail to see how being able to connect with someone across a country or world may be useful? Come now, you're smarter than that.
[Telepaths don't exactly enjoy always being a messaging system when they're off mission.]
I can teach you, if you'd like?
no subject
[which is a nicer way of saying, if you want to get laid, go outside and find someone in person.]
I would welcome your help with using the rest of these features, however.
no subject
[She's just being crafty with information finding.]
I'd be happy to help bring you up to speed on technology.
no subject
[although being able to send messages like this-- it does have its benefits]
Where would you like to meet?
no subject
[Pun intended. It's a bad one.]
Library? Then I could show you how to use a computer as well.
no subject
[because talking to people in person will always be his first choice.]
The phone will be enough. But thank you.
no subject
[They may have gone their separate ways, but she still cares about him.]
Indulge a lady's desire to demonstrate a few things first at least.

Quick learner? Or prefer other sorts of talents?
no subject
[given that there are some people he doubts he'll ever be willing to talk to people here about.]
I simply have no need to use a computer.
no subject
[Ironically, he's one of the ones she wants to protect. At least, her version of him.]
What, don't want to be ahead of your time? Computers are coming.
