Huh.
[Eleanor scans the pages as he flips through them, picking up bits and pieces here and there. When he's done, she took a step back, considering the book as a whole.]
So even the people doing all this aren't actually from here, are they...
[That was new information.]

[Kurt takes looks at the pages as she flips through and scratches his head in confusion.]
I- I guess not! Man, it's pretty confusing stuff... totally bananas! [He has trouble making heads or tails of most of the things they learn.]

[He laughs back.]
We kinda did! A touchdown of... optimism, I guess!

[Eleanor flipped through a few pages, then came back to that last set of scrawls, tracing her fingers over the lines, her face narrowed.]
Let's rewrite history.
[She drew in a breath.]
Our history or theirs?
Let's rewrite history.
[She drew in a breath.]
Our history or theirs?
[Now that's not a comforting thought. He scratches at his head with an uncertain frown.]
That's... that's a good question. I want to hope that it's theirs, but... It's anyone's guess at this point. [He's already starting to suspect the worst.]

Or everyone's.
[Eleanor pulled out her phone and flipped back to the front of the book, starting to snap pictures of each page as she went through it.]
Maybe they think they can fix whatever 'ended' all those other worlds.

Right. Well... that would be cool! Worlds deserve to... you know... not be ended.
I knew you'd get it! You know what's up, Kaede!
Maybe. [Eleanor wasn't convinced.]
What does that mean for us though? If they're claiming they've 'rescued' us from them.

I... I don't know. [He frowns as she brings that up.] We'll figure it out as we go along. But I doubt we'd have to... go back to those worlds or anything. [Or he hopes.]
Yeah...we better not.
[Eleanor has no intention of ever going anywhere near Rapture.]
Come on, let's see what else we can find down here before I lose myself in this book.
[And off to explore!]

Yeah. Let's try to find a lighter read! [He says with a laugh. And off to explore they are!]

[Kurt took his time, because part of his plan was to see if the sword was important enough to her to use as a bartering chip to negotiate about releasing her fire spirit. But when she didn't chase him down, he figured that plan wouldn't work... he'll have to thin differently!
He at least talks with one of the locals and with their help, he released the spirit within the sword into a heath. And he also did manage to find out a few tips about getting them out of people... He's not sure if they'll work, but he has to give it a try!
So Kurt soon approaches her with the sword in hand, whistling innocently and then trying to look surprised to see her.]
Oh, there you are!

[Kurt laughs nervously while trying to set her down gently on the ground.]
H-how? Uh... Just a good old-fashioned sprint, mixed with adrenaline! Nothing out of the ordinary there!! [Lying to children's okay, right?]

I've been using them a little bit here and there to wrangle some of them up when no one's watching... but that horse statue's on a whole nother level!
[He looks in the direction that the statue ran off in.]
I bet you could still catch one. You just have to pick on one your own size! [Kurt says as he glances back at her with a reassuring smile.]

[Kurt just looks at her, shocked and concerned as he tries to take that in. This isn't new? Is this... what she really is?]
You... you've been like this? [He mouths in surprise.] I... had no idea...
[As an afterthought, he answers her question, with a shake of his head.]
N-no, of course not. [He was, at least a little.] This is just all... a pretty big surprise.

[she's done moving those color TVs and humming a Mark Knopfler solo in her head in time to go track down Kurt, and other than having done a fair amount of heavy lifting, she seems pretty okay. her brow is sweating and her arms are gonna ache in the morning, but that's it. for now.]
Yeah. Wie geh—uh, what's up? You got everything figured out with my sword?
[she reaches for it just because she wants to have it back in her hand. there's nothing she's going to need it for, hopefully, but she wants it.]

[It was getting a bit easier to stand now; Amelia supported more of her own weight, but still wouldn't look Kurt in the face just yet.]
Yes, I imagine so. I...neglected to inform you, when I learned of it. The time never seemed right.

Oh! Like a cute and tiny one.
[ Maybe one that was inhabiting like, something manageable!! Something she could stop with her own physical strength. ]
Before I got caught up in dealing with that one, I was thinking of looking around in a beauty supply store to look for them. I guess it was pretty stupid to try to take on something so big... [ And definitely not to look at the products. ] Do you think there would be any there? I'd definitely know how to handle anything in there!!
[ She wouldn't be scared of hair dryers or things like that after all, not like some huge metal statue. ]

A- a beauty supply store? [He says with a surprised laugh.]
I have no clue, but I bet there's gotta be something like that around here. How else would people stay moisturized in a place like this? [He smirks as he looks around.] We'll look around and see if we find one! How does that sound?

[Kurt does ease away slightly as she regains her bearings, though he keeps an arm on her shoulder to make sure. He frowns thoughtfully.]
I- I guess it is a bit hard to work into everyday conversation... [He says with the hint of a joke.
He wonders if he should have seen something like this coming. This whole time his mother's been on the app, he's been afraid of her finding out about weird and dangerous things involving him. He never really thought about the fact that now she'd be getting memories too... and her own share of weirdness. He certainly does have a lot of questions, but he doesn't know where to begin. And he's also trying to maintain some degree of tact.]
...So... you can turn into a dragon. It doesn't... Does it hurt or anything? [Overall, he feels that he should focus on making sure that she's alright above everything else.]

Totes! It's clean as a whistle now! [He says responds affirmatively as he looks at the blade. ...But as she reaches for it, he tries to pull it back out of her reach.]
