My inmate has made notable progress recently, but still has difficulty understanding certain basics of interacting with his culture. This I'm not sure that I can help him with because while I've gained some knowledge from ports and breaches, it's not a lifetime of familiarity and certainly not enough to help him with the basics of interaction. I grew up in an entirely different environment [a surprisingly healthy one] with different standards of interaction, more confrontational. There's a cultural divide that I can't help him with.

So I need help from someone from the early 21st century to assist him. His has minor differences to the ones that we've encountered, like a class divide with technological capabilities, stronger military authority, and different popular figures, but otherwise on basic interaction it would be the same.

I would like Ben's room changed to a hotel room appropriate to his universe, era, and geographical location if he should return.

Also, a sleeping bag should he decide he would like to entertain company again. [He knows Ben would probably sleep on the floor before sharing a bed with someone, otherwise he would have asked for a queen sized bed.]

[A flicker of silence, then he just turns it off because that is the most awkward conversation either of them could possibly have.]

How is Dr. Kozak?

Has he talked about what happened to him? [Rhade has yet to hear about the story from Lakeside, and he almost is ashamed it has taken hum until now to ask.]

He was more forthcoming at the time, but I've got a good idea of what it was like. He didn't have any memory of the Barge or his life before it; some older couple took him in.

[It takes a few seconds to organize his thoughts and decide what to say from there. The part of Kozak that had been afraid to go back, or find out what kind of person he'd been, isn't one he supposes his inmate would be thrilled about him sharing.] It wasn't like falling overboard usually is. He was himself, but without any of his own life experiences to draw from.

He seemed... [Happier.] to be doing well for himself.

I have been like that, after floods.

It's an unpleasant realization. I don't envy what he's going through. Do you think he'll be alright? [He keeps his tone carefully neutral, but it is something he's come to know all too well.]

He's been eerily agreeable, the past few days, but I'm sure he'll get over it. [You see, because hiding away to sulk is far more normal of him. More seriously:] He's a stubborn son of a bitch. He'll be fine.
