"Why exactly are you taking me away from my work?" Kaito asked Van, who was dragging him through the hallway.
"Because, Kae-Kae, you gotta really step out of your social bubble here." Van responded, "You're on a team, after all, so you gotta up your social game. So I figure, what better way to do it than taking you to one of our team's smartest members, Sasha?"
"I don't see how forcing me to talk to someone is going to make me more 'social'," Kaito rolled his eyes, "Or why I'd need to be more social in the first place. I'm fine with being alone in my room."
"Dude, you look paler than a ghost!" Van chuckled, "Keep staying indoors and everyone is gonna start thinking you're a creep or somethin."
Kaito groaned, "If you say so." Kaito mumbled under his breath.
Van kicked Sasha's door open, catching the temptress off guard, "Ayo Sasha, I have a delivery for you! Please do not return it until you two have a meaningful conversation or whatever. Tootles!" Van waved as she slammed the door shut.
"Wait what?" Sasha barely let out as Kaito stumbled into the room, "Uh, hello."
Kaito groaned, "Salutations."
"Ok, so I assume that Vanessa wants you to hang out with people." Sasha raised an eyebrow, "But, uh, couldn't she have asked Paige or someone else? I'm trying to do work right now." Sasha gestured towards a paper on her room's desk.
"I was trying to work as well," Kaito sighed, "But Van keeps insisting that I talk to people."
"Really? What kind of work?" Sasha ignored the second part of Kaito's statement.
"Nothing much." Kaito replied, "It's mostly just discoveries made by space stations and astronauts." Kaito shrugged, "I doubt you'd want to hear about something like that."
"Oh please," Sasha smiled, "I have a good interest in science and math, I'd be very intrigued to hear what you study."
"Well," Kaito bit his thumb, "It's about what I believe to be earthquakes on mars. I think it's quite fascinating of a rabbit hole, due to the only satellite that picked up the energy of said earthquakes being quite unreliable in the past."
"Really now?" Sasha asked.
"Yes, there are many more discoveries being made today, if you'd want to learn about them I could tutor you," Kaito responded.
"You can tutor me?" Sasha tapped her desk, "Didn't you just say you had work to do?"
Kaito stopped dead in his tracks, "Wait! How did I get distracted?" Kaito opened the door to the room, "Apologies for cutting this short, but I must return to what I was doing before this." Kaito headed out the door and back into his room.
Sasha grinned as she walked over to the door and closed it, "You can thank me for tricking Kaito into talking later, Vanessa. I will say, I myself am grateful that you allowed me to learn a bit more about one of my fellow castmates," Sasha took a pencil out of her pocket and headed over to the paper on her desk, which turned out to be notes on all of her teammates, "I like knowing every bit of info on a person that I can get…"
