encounter #52...continued...

Her:  I like the chance to get to know someone the old fashion way.  Granted things happen in the flash of a vision, but there is still that feeling of getting to know someone. 
Him:  How often do you get to know someone outside of a vision?
Her:  It has been quite a long while.

[He gestured between them.]

Him:  Does this count?
Her:  Well, it has been a bit one sided so far.  You asking questions; me doing most of the revealing.  And even then your questions have been a focused like an inquisition.  I'm not so sure this counts.

[A half smile appears on his face as he nods in thought.]

Him:  Well then, what would you like to know about me?
Her:  Hmm.  I don't really know.  Like a said I'm not really good at small talk and it has been a long time since I had a chance to really get to know someone.

[He waited patiently, not saying a word.  A minute passed in silence.]

Her:  I suppose you are waiting for me to come up with a question.

[He shrugged, but the smile on his face was a silent agreement.]

Her:  Fine.  Why are you here?  What made you decide to participate in this research study?
Him:  Curiosity.
Her:  That's it?  Curiosity?
Him:  Yeah, pretty much.  I saw an article in a magazine about you and was a bit fascinated by the whole idea.  So I did a little research and found out about this study. 

[He shrugged.]

Him:  I thought why not?
