1. What’s your name?
Julian.

2. Are we close?
No, I don't know you that well.

3. What do you honestly think of me?
You don't seem to give up easily. Friendly, though you're keeping your distance.

4. Am I one of your best friends?
As I said, I don't know you that well.

5. Would you kiss me?
I don't kiss people.

6. Would you hug me?
Yeah.

7. Describe me in 3 words.
Determined, complex, smart.

8. If you had me for 30 minutes, what would you do?
Same answer as yours.

9. What was your first impression of me?
Friendly and interested in others.

10. Do you still think the same?
Pretty much.

11. What reminds you of me?
Math.

12. If you could give me anything, what would it be?
I'm not sure. I'd have to ask what you'd like most.

14. What do you like best about me?
You're rational and determined.

15. Have you ever wanted to tell me something you couldn't?
Can't think of anything.

16. Could you ever love me?
As a friend, perhaps.

17. Give me a nickname and explain why.
I don't give people nicknames. Besides, I like your name as it is.

18. Are you gonna put this in your journal and see what I say about you?
It's there already.

19. Anything to say before you go?
Let's have those thirty minute drinks in the near future.

3. I don't want to get too close to anyone. No offense is meant.

5. Why not?

3. Oh, none taken. I understand that very well.

5. Because I'm not comfortable with getting that close to people either.

It's not that I'm not comfortable, it's complicated.

Isn't it always complicated? Dealing with people, letting them get close?

Yes, but I assumed it was simpler for everyone else.

Maybe for people who aren't that ... different from anyone else.

I need to remember that you're not as... like most others.

Nah, don't. Most of the time I do try to be like others, so ...

I stopped trying... though you're doing a good job at it.

Thank you. If I could, I'd stop trying, too, but that'd be a bad idea.

Why would it?

Too dangerous. There are many people who ... don't like that people like me exist. To put it mildly.

You're right... I wish there was some happy medium.

A medium in which sense?

Where you could be yourself, and people didn't care as much as they would now?

Oh. Yeah, that would be nice ... but I think that will never happen.

Not on this world.

Yeah. Maybe it's possible somewhere else ... on Phoenix' homeworld, they seem to deal pretty well with it.
How do people react when they learn about you?

They do! His homeworld isn't that bad of a place.

*looks down* I don't tell many people. They don't believe me or they want something fixed... or to learn how I do it. On Phoenix's world they didn't really care until- well, we got in trouble for messing with time and I managed to get out of it. I don't go there as much now.

Yes ... I've been there once and it seemed a nice place.

Do you ever do it? Fix stuff for people?

You should visit again. Theres this great bar- I'll show you one day.

I did, still do sometimes. It's not always a good idea.

That sounds good. *smiles*

I can imagine. Are they thankful, at least?

They're thankful... but the way time works for most people... one small thing can drastically change your life or someone elses life. I learned to be more careful

That sounds insanely complicated. I can't even imagine how many things you'd have to consider ...
