[ He can't speak Japanese himself, but the song she was singing wasn't bad at all. He just listens a moment before texting a message to her. ]

From:

Thank you. It's a little lullaby I picked up in my travels.

From:

Sounds nice. What does it mean?

From:

If I'm not mistaken the English translations would go like this:

April roses, tiny sparrows
Comets bright and new
All belong together
With the mystery that is you
When I see your little face
I hear a song from long ago
I think you know
The many secrets I've forgotten....

From:

Not bad. I like it.

From:

Thank you. Now, who are you?

From:

Batman. You?

From:

Batman? Does that mean you're part bat?

I am Little Washu, The Greatest Scientific Genius in the Universe.

From:

That's what I like the criminals to think.

... The greatest?

From:

I see, then you are.. what do human's call them? A 'super hero' I believe.

And yes. I am the greatest.

From:

Yeah, you could call me that.

I think there'd be some people who'd disagree with you on that.

From:

They can try. I simply love a challenge.

From:

[Suffice to say Haer'Dalis is quite delighted by the singing, and has a beaming grin on his face.]

I didn't know you had such a beautiful singing voice my dear Washu.

From:

[She can't help but smile back.]

Thank you Haer'Dalis~. I don't sing very often, but I enjoy it when I do.

From:

You should sing more often dear Washu, you're rather talented at it. Tell me, have you ever thought of perhaps joining the theater?

From:

You flatter me~. Keep at it. No, I've never thought of going theater. I've always had too much work to do.

From:

I will try dear Washu, although finding nice things to say about you is rather easy when you are as charming as you are~

Perhaps you should consider it some time when you finally get that power plant of yours fixed up a bit more eh?

From:

I just might if you keep up with the compliments. I suppose I could use a hobby that exists outside of science~. But only because such a cutie asked.

From:

Hobbies are quite fun, especially when it concerns the art of theater.

How is progress coming along with the Hydroelectric plant?

From:

I can think of a few more hobbies I could pick up as well~.

Progress is coming along well actually. I should be finished sometime before the end of the year I think.

From:

Oho? And what kind of hobbies would those be if I may be so bold as to ask?

That is rather impressive. I had not have thought you'd be finished before the winter solstice. Assuming we are measuring years the same way of course.

From:

Oh ones that shouldn't be spoken about in polite company~. Or on an open communication system.

If your idea of winter solstice is the same as the one on Earth, that being December 21st, then I suppose it is impressive.

From:

Haha! Oh I do indeed like the way you tease good Washu. We should speak more about these hobbies of yours sometime, away from prying ears.

That is approximately the end of the year.
