No time like the present to try to figure everything out, right?

It hasn't been too bad so far. Pretty intuitive, if a little archaic compared to what I'm used to. Seems like you've gotten the hang of it just fine too.

[accretive]

Archaic? You must be from some place very technologically advanced.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of the device, but as you said, it's pretty intuitive. It'd be embarrassing if I were trying to reach someone and hit the wrong button or something.

[hexensabbat]

You could say that.

And I bet you're not the only one in that boat, at least. If it happens, just play it off like you're taking a survey about something or something like that.

[this is not great advice]

[accretive]

[ .... ]

Is that what you'd do, if it happened to you?

[hexensabbat]

Nah, I'd probably be honest about it, but I don't get embarrassed by much.

[accretive]

Oh, I wish I could say the same. It is admirable to have that kind of confidence.

[hexensabbat]

You think so? I don't feel like it's something I can take credit for when it's just how I've been.

[Maybe it was programmed into her, she sure as hell doesn't know.]

You're not a confident person?

[accretive]

Shouldn't you be able to take credit for how you are?

[ she doesn't know ringo is a robot(?), but even so. ]

I'm more confident than I used to be.

[hexensabbat]

Hmmm... maybe! I'll have to give that one some thought and get back to you on it.

[It's an interesting question, one she hasn't thought about before.]

That's great, though! If you've already changed that much, then I'm sure you can keep becoming as confident as you want to be eventually.

[accretive]

Take your time. I'll listen whenever you find your answer.

[ even if you fake it until you make it, you should still be able to take credit for that. ]

I want to be aware of my limits without holding myself back. I don't know where that will leave me.

[hexensabbat]

Alright then. Once I'm sure of it, I'll text you again.

That's admirable. What do you mean, though? That you don't know where that will leave you?

[accretive]

I'll look forward to it!

I mean... it's hard to say how the future will turn out and whether I can actually be that kind of person.

[hexensabbat]

True, true, but the kind of person you become is the one thing that's under your control, right? At least, way more than the future as a whole is.

I believe in you!
