[It's definitely the strangest thing Connor's ever done, and he's not surprised Tidus is embarrassed about it. But they needed a test of the language-learning functions he's been trying to develop since losing his chip, and Tidus needs to actually be able to talk to someone.
So they might be there a little while.]
Here. This.
[This comes later, only when Connor has at least a basic grasp of something to explain what's happening. He opens his wallet and pulls out a tiny little electronic chip.]
This is in my head... Before. Now, no.
[And he points at Hank's head.]
But, Hank and you...
[He indicates both of them, Hank and Tidus, and holds up the chip.]
It's in your head now. Talking, Hank, yes - me, no.
[He still has to fill in a lot of gaps. He gestures a therefore sort of wave of the hand between sentences, at Hank, makes hand gestures roughly meaning talking and understanding. But what neither of them understands is...]
And you...no. But it's in your head. I dunno...
[He's wincing a little in embarrassment himself. He knows what he sounds like. For someone who feels sad when he can't be utterly perfect at anything, knowing he's terrible at something makes him squirm inside terribly. But it's all they've got.]
