[Hanekoma's grinning as casually as ever, but he looks a little flushed, and are those dark circles under his eyes?

That's definitely a drippy-looking nose. Maybe he shouldn't have been running around in short sleeves and sandals after all.]

Heyyyy! Had fun with your party?

I was just wonderin' if anybody out there's got tea leaves they're willin' ta trade. I prefer green, but I'll take black or herbal if that's what you've got.

[Thoughtful.] I can trade ya fresh eggs, meat, or --

[He turns the camera to display a half-finished tempera mural in black and white covering one wall of his room -- it's a boldly outlined forest of graffiti-style skyscrapers seen from above, dwindling down to tiny streets under a brilliant sky.] --we can work out a trade for some wall art.

[He pauses to stifle a hacking cough.] Speak up quick, just in case goin' out gets tricky again in a day or two!

Yeah, I think I understand that. How they feel anyway. I've noticed that a lot of people refuse help, but if someone offers and you can't do it it's okay to accept help right?

More than okay, it's somethin' you've gotta learn ta do. If ya wanna work with other people, you need ta take help as easily as ya give it.

[He shrugs philosophically.] Doesn't make it any easier on your pride, but that's how it is.

[He nods.] Teamwork is really important. My friends back home taught me that! I guess it's kinda difficult to work as a team when you're mending a pair of shorts though...

Sometimes you gotta put your pride aside! [He has trouble with that himself some times, but only when it came to people he didn't like.]

Depends on how much help ya need threadin' a needle! [He laughs, loudly enough that it dissolves into a cough.]

-- ha, don't mind me... You're right about puttin' pride aside. Sounds like you've got a decent take on the whole topic ta me.
