[River is spinning a pen between her fingers, looking... quite frankly, rather bored. She sighs and balances the pen on her head]

I attended the meeting, of course. I thought it would be potentially catastrophic to put myself in one of the robots, so I have chosen to stay and defend the city as well as possible.

While I am on guard, I do have a question.

Is there, perhaps, a test one might take. Some sort of proficiency exam. Something to gain access to higher education.

At home, I had nearly completed my Masters in Physics. Here, due to my age, I'm in highschool. It presents no challenge. I would like to be challenged, intellectually speaking.

To whom do I speak about something more... [She takes the pen off her head and chews at the end of it.]

Fitting.

Everything is connected, isn't it? Man cannot live on science alone.

I'm not much of an artist myself, I'm afraid.
But my wife was a poet. Always a creator of beauty.

I admire poetry, even if I do not write it myself.

I do know a limerick.

[After a minute or two:]

Oh, that's very clever!
Wonderful!

[I googled it lol but anyway this kid is a DELIGHT]

Perhaps science and art can live together in harmony, after all.

Ah, a marriage of true equals! It's inspiring.
