Nono: I will write your English Lit term paper for you if you tell me one secret nobody else knows.

Kiln: I don’t understand why Nono is designing boats. Or what they have to do with my secrets.
Alex: I… don’t want to be the one to answer this.
Alex: But I have to ask, what secret did you tell?
Kiln, looks around cautiously: I snuck into the tomb High Priest Aleski, Ruin Conquerer and Weilder of Kerbelion, and cracked part of the relief.
Alex: …
Bonus
Kiln: She also seemed really disappointing when I said I only had honorable intentions towards Chris.

Roddy: No question. One more dawn.

Alex: in a way I’m jealous
Joey: how so?
Alex: your disguise makes you look human, and people are primed to look for human features. I wish I could put on or take off gender expression like clothes, but people keep looking for signs of boyness or girlness no matter what I look like
Joey: isn’t there some kind of high tech solution for you too?
Alex: the Mark 45 oversized sweater is all I can get a budget for

Alex: when I try to explain non-binary gender identity to people, sometimes they just don’t get it, or seem like they don’t hear me, and just keep identifying me like they were before. I’ve tried analogies but they don’t always work. How do you solve that problem?
Kiln: I draw my sword
Alex: I should be takin’ notes here
