"I'd like to see, sometime, if you'll let me," *Shadi said.* "I can't do anything like that. And you see... I don't really have any friends. My own age, I mean."

"Oh, well, I guess, if you want to. I don't either, really. That would be nice."
"What about you? What do you do for fun?"

*Shadi thought about that.*
"Well... I do things with Rochester, and annoy my father, and get into trouble," *she said. Yes, that about summed it up. No wonder she was bored all the time.*

*She laughed.*
"It sounds exciting," *she said.* "Moreso than laying around my mother's house."
*She frowned, wondering if life would be better had she remained living with her father, but shook it off with a shrug.*
"Tell me about Rochester."

*Shadi's eyes shone with affection.*
"He's... well, he's wonderful. He's like everything you think you hate about aristocrats, you know, only completely sweet and generous and fun. I mean, I'm not looking to get married or anything, but he could've just had his fun and gone, you know? I wouldn't have blamed him. But he didn't. And he doesn't care where I'm from, or how I lived, or anything like that."

"Oh, wow. He sounds perfect," *she said, a little enviously.*

*Shadi giggled and bounced a little in her chair.*
"And I already told you about the other part," *she said.* "But I think he's perfect. Maybe you'll meet him one day. I'm sure he'd just adore you."

"Oh, I don't know about that," *she said a little apprehensively.*

*Shadi berated herself silently.*
"Oh, I'd never push the meeting or anything. But he is a gentleman, and your a sight more well-behaved than I am, and if you were going to be more social--I mean, if you actually wanted--there'd be worse people to meet."

"Well, I guess... If you really do think he'd like me. And not be weirded out or anything."

*Shadi bounced.*
"I think I can promise he'd be a perfect gentleman," *she said solemnly, despite her childish bouncing.* "Lord knows he's had plenty of opportunities to run away from me."

"Well, if you say so," *she said, her voice betraying a grin. She couldn't help it- Shadi's happiness was catching.*

"I do," *she said solemnly. She looked at Pina's plate.*
"It's gotta be hard to eat with your face covered," *she said.* "Wanna get out of here?"

*It wasn't too hard when you were used to it, but she didn't say so.*
"Sure. Where were you thinking?"
*She wasn't sure what her mother would do if she were to bring a friend her age home. Probably die of happiness.*

*Shadi shrugged.*
"No idea. I mean, I don't want to overstay my welcome. I guess I seem kinda desperate, don't I? You can always tell me to go away. Where do you like to go?"
