Milo had something important to do at Barclay Maximov’s place. And Barclay’s place is kind of boring, so he left me with Kelsey.

Kelsey’s place isn’t boring. We played with her two cats and three rats, and she let me watch while she fed her fish. Now she’s showing me some of her different stuff, which is also interesting. The calico cat, Puddingstone, is in my lap. Kelsey has tons of rocks and bones and shiny things and stuff she made herself, and she’s telling me about all of it. She knows a lot, about a lot. The lights are dimmed so she can talk with her hands, which I think is really cool. Kelsey after hours!

She puts a pointy shell in my hand, and the white letters on the wall say to hold it to my ear. I do. The spines poke my face.

“Can you hear the ocean?”

“Um… Yeah! But my brother says it’s just the blood flowing through my ear.”

“I know that! Duh… What I’m saying is, the shell is empty, but you’re hearing the ocean in you.”

She fiddles with her watch and shows me a few paragraphs on some website, about how the first animals were born in the ocean, millions of years ago. And I guess we’ve been wet inside ever since. I remember I was born on a world with no oceans at all. It was such a long way to go, and it took so long to get there. But Milo had the two of us back in a little over a day. Which is just like him, really.

“Hey, Kelsey?”

She turns and looks at me, for just half a second. And she doesn’t say anything, but I hear, “hmm?”

“What lived in this?”

Kelsey stands up, and pulls a book off the shelf.

Aw, Kit. He really seems to be adjusting well to his new life.

This was pretty cute, it felt like front row seats at the Kelsey show, but it didn't sound like Kit minded at all.

Awww, that's really sweet! I like that Kit and Kelsey get along.
