"Oh wow, Skye! I am impressed, you moved out of the living at work thing with your boss, and have your own place?" Kaze asks, making sure he understands. "That's great!"
Kaze laughs, "Yeah...tree houses are not allowed. I gotta admit though, there are homeless people living all over the place, and they seem to be allowed." He says thoughtfully.
"Money...is just a way to divide up stuff that is scarce." Kaze says. "It's not evil, it's what people do with it that can be, or what people do to get it. I mean, if there was no money, then people could just take stuff if they are stronger than other people, and still pile up more than they need. It's a thing people do, whether they use laws or money or guns or swords or are just related to the king or whatever." He says earnestly. "We always have a choice what we do with what we have, whether it's our money or our strength or talents. So...if you need help with money, let me know; I want to do good things with what I have." Kaze offers, smiling. "I just don't want to get into judging or trying to control what other people do with theirs."
"Oh, London...well, it was like I said, historical. Lots of attention to getting the details right. So yeah, probably a lot of book reading and stuff for that, but just showing up and enjoying it was okay. I mean, I just got a costume from a store. To be honest, it seemed really exciting, but I had to leave for a work thing pretty much right after I got there, so I didn't get to stay long." Kaze says, thoughtfully. "I don't think I'd do it again. I guess I like just being in the time I was born in."
Kaze laughs at the Scooby Doo topic, Skye sure seems into it. "Hey, you know what? I didn't really grow up on Scooby Doo, so maybe we should have a marathon and just watch 'em all, if you want? You seem so into it; I kind of feel like I missed out!" He says, laughing again. "Do you have your own space now where we could do it? Do you have a TV? I can help with setting up streaming off the Internet to get the whole catelog; I remember seeing a channel that had it all, I think. I can provide the snacks, too, if you have a place?"
"Teaching is cool." Kaze agrees. "I had a martial arts teacher who said you don't really understand something unless you can teach it. Hey, if it's allowed, I would love to come watch you teach sometime, Skye."
Kaze is patient and quiet as Skye regains her composure. He doesn't seem uncomfortable with her emotion or impatient. He doesn't bring up loneliness again unless she does.
"Oh yeah, smell is powerful for memory or even healing in general." Kaze agrees. "It's really intimate and specialized too, like there are lists of what scents are good for what kind of result, like calming or whatever, but the truth is it's different for everyone."
Kaze laughs, "Yeah, I bet there's a lot of stuff going inside my mind that I don't know anything about too!" He says. "I think the way I learn the most about my own mind is by trying to understand where other people are coming from, how they see things, and then kind of thinking about if it sounds like what's going on with me too." He says with a smile. "And having friends that I trust to know me and see when something is going on with me and telling me when I seem off. That's pretty special."
