[OOC: I continued our other scene here if wanted!]

I have not seen any videos. Are these people sure it's not just that they're sticking a random object close to a cat's face? Nobody would like that.

It's not like it's hard to find recipes these days to try. You're always complaining I'm not online enough, but there are tons of recipes and videos there to learn from with cooking.

I wouldn't want people sneaking things behind me, either. Justice for the cats, mere pawns in people's quest for online entertainment. Also a potential waste of a perfectly good cucumber.

Don't try and sully my pure culinary education, Kate. Or I can't cook for you.

What happens at Columbia stays at Columbia, Kate. No, in all seriousness, I'd be fine if I ever was attracted to a guy. I think the church has it wrong in that regard when people say it's a sin. And that's pretty much like the cats I've known. Not that I've had one personally.

I will go back to text to voice messaging you if you do.

It's just something I've thought a lot about, and you know my mind loves to overthink. Reconciling faith while also disagreeing with parts of how it's interpreted. On a lighter subject, I'll just say I had a lot of fun in college. I think I'm just an animal person in general. I always tried to sneak in pets but had to let them loose. I probably wanted a dog the most as a kid, but I think most kids want dogs.

I regret introducing you two.

A monkey, huh? What trouble were you going to get up to with a monkey?

I did not think ahead to the two of you teaming up against me.

They are supposed to be pretty smart.

Have you talked to him recently?

I wanted a dolphin, too! [The enthusiasm in Matt's voice surprises him, but Kate's brought back delightful memories he'd forgotten.] I hadn't even seen a beach growing up, so being in the ocean with a dolphin sounded amazing. Plus I heard they're really smart, and I wanted a smart pet. I wanted an owl for the same reason - that, and because it made me think I'd then be a wizard like Merlin. [The Sword in the Stone Disney movie had run deep in his youth.]

It can't hurt to give him a heads up. I've been too busy to really stay in touch either, but I wanted to check in on him. I know he's been doing this a long time, but it's rough for everyone right now.

I liked all those legend and folk stories. Heroes and quests. Characters with destinies.

Have you been to the Caribbean before?

We can let him know and to stay on standby. I imagine he's monitoring Fisk's movements as much as he can, anyway. They have history, too. Who doesn't have history with Fisk at this point.

Can't someone appreciate both? I'm always open to meeting new people, though.

Ha. No. I just went to California for the first time last year.

Tell him hi for me.

I know you're not a big Trek fan, so where do you land with Star Wars? Or Lord of the Rings? All those years of mystical ninja training, all for foam sword battles. Sounds about right.

I haven't had the chance to travel much. I was broke for most of my life, and working despite that. Now it always just feels like the wrong time to take time for myself.
