"I'M SUPER SMART!" Tasia announced before Aashi had a chance to respond. "I'M GONNA READ!" She looked at Gaius. "Tell her I'm gonna read, Mr. Gaius. Please!"

"Thank you!" Aashi grinned, pleased with the compliment, and decided it'd be less awkward to just keep looking at Ada than it was to stare at the side of Gaius's ...

Aashi clumsily repeated it after him, pronunciation abhorrent, but hopefully Ada would know what she meant since Gaius had said it correctly. She looked back at Ada and awkwardly murmured, ...

“Ada,” Aashi repeated with a nod, offering another smile. “It’s nice to meet you.” She looked at Gaius. “How do you say that? ‘It’s nice to meet you’? In… in…” ...
