"Yes, absolutely," Billy says without a concern in the world. "You look down from your metaphorical perch and know so much...you offer kindness readily, but not much about your interests and hobbies. Aside from that excellent piano piece I heard on the network."

Billy smiles at the memory of that. "I'm curious about a lot of things. I used to dream a lot about flying into space and visiting people from other worlds. I did, once---to Aquitar. The Aquatians had enormous brains, sitting almost exposed on their skulls---not that brain size and intelligence necessarily correlate, but it was interesting. They lived in an underwater society in an aquatic world, and I loved it there. But I digress. I just want to get to know you a little, that's all."
