[Snake's back in GoldenRod, and he's looking a little better than he did when he left. He's making a beeline for the Pokemon Center, though. He takes out the PokeGear, starting a video post.]

Heather, I brought you some burgers... Is that gonna be okay? [he liked them when he was her age...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

... [Nods a bit. He knows he has a mission back home but... Having seen his own mother skewered like that, having only met her an hour before... It wasn't right. It left him with a horrible taste in his mouth. He'd never had a perfect family situation, he never wished for it either... But he'd finally met a member of his family who didn't try to kill him on sight.

He'd rather be here, though, than see her suffering.

Snake puts the cigarette away, then rubs his neck.]

... My name's David, Heather.

_{[In Heather's case, she doesn't even have anything back home. Besides Douglas, that was. But... she knew exactly what it was like to escape from something horrible, something painful, into a new life-- and leave somebody behind. But as guilty as she sometimes sort of felt, for getting a chance to grow up normal while... some of the friends she had once cared about were left to turn out twisted and eventually against her, she knew there was nothing she could have done. And she was happy with what she had.]

[When he speaks again, she looks up, at first sort of confused. Then realization dawns on her face, followed by a smile.]}

... David. I like that.

Howdy, David.

... Hhn. Hey, Heather. [ Gives a bit of a smile, then points at her. ] You should pick a codename; I could call you that for three months, and we'd be even.

_[Blink.]

... Dude, I get to have a crazy code-name?

_{[Uh oh. Be prepared for a barrage of goofy teenage enthusiasm.]}

Does it have to follow the same formula of 'state of matter' plus 'animal'? Like, 'Plasmic Giraffe' or something?

... I'm not sure Plasmic Giraffe is a good codename for stealth missions.

... Well, no, but... it'd be pretty badass. Admit it.

_{[ADMIT IT.]

[But, she looks thoughtful. It wasn't really something she'd ever considered before.]}

... What do YOU think'd fit?

Dusty Muskrat. [ tease tease. ]

Heeeeeeey!

_{[She gives him a playful shove in the shoulder.]}

That wouldn't even fit.

I don't like swimming!

All right... How about Freckled Warthog. [ He's gonna keep teasing you. ]

_{[... RRRGH WHY'D HE HAVE TO BRING UP THE FRECKLES!! SERIOUSLY. Whining, she clapped both hands to her face to COVER THEM UP.]}

Hey, that one totally was not even funny!

Your code-name should be changed to like-- .... Solid STUPID or something. _{[... Shut up she was really good at coming up with insults, honest!]}

... Even I can make fun of my codename better than that...

Hrmph. Don't make me break out the toilet humor.

_{[And she takes this opportunity to fold her arms and stick her tongue out, like the mature young woman that she is.]}

...

Well, you forgot "Stupid" Snake. [ Reaches into the bag, taking out a burger. ]

_{[Huffing, she held the bag out to him so he could take one easier.]}

... Hmph. I like 'Solid Stupid' better, since it implies that you're really dense.

_{[SMIRK. Oh yeah. She'd just give that one a moment to sink in.]}

[ He whaps you over the head for that one. ]

That was terrible.

_{[She ducks her head when he whaps her, but the big toothy HURR grin remains on her face.]}

I think you mean 'awesome'.

You're just jealous you didn't think of that one yourself.

I was thinking about "Liquid Stupid"... And how it sounds like a product of some sort. [ Hnn. ]

... Man, it kinda does.

I should totally start calling him that now.

Hhaha. I wonder if he'd notice. [ Unwraps the burger. ]

Oh, he'd notice. Only thing bigger than his ego is his inferiority complex.

_{[She finally reaches in to grab one of the burgers, herself.]}

He'd probably toss me in a pond.

That's true... [ Munch. Chew chew. Swallow. ] ... Heather, is Otacon all right?

Huh?

Yeah, he's fine s'far as I know. Talking with his dad and everything... I think he's pretty happy.

_{[She starts to unwrap her own.]}

Huh...

He was acting really weird the last time I spoke to him.

Really?

Weird...

When'd you talk to him?

About last week, before I left Goldenrod. [ Rubs his neck. ] He got frantic about something and didn't tell me what it was.
