[Chris smiles and gives a small wave at the camera when the feed starts, then turns his hand to show Hope's blessing on the back of it.]

So uh, who else got one? And are they all from Hope, or...?

[This is so cool you guys he wants to see who else got what. And for something else slightly less important by still cool--]

Oh, also, my iPhone was up and working for a bit thanks to Pell, and I managed to get some music off it. I'll share on the condition no one makes fun of my taste.

[The last comment is a joke--he's really not going to be too hurt by jabs about his choice in music--but the offer is serious, and attached is a download of the music he's copied off so far. It's kind of a slow process, so there's still more on the phone that he can transfer later.]

[And okay, nothing could prepare him for that last comment, and she has to be joking. He grins a little, amused.]

That is, I'm pretty sure, the first time anyone's ever used 'smooth' in a sentence about me if they weren't making fun of my inability to grow a beard.

[Which he can actually do now, thank you very much, but sixteen-year-old Chris could definitely not manage the suave stubble look.]

Yeah, but other people have been here, too; they're just not as open-minded.

[ Hannah laughs again, shrugging. ]

I'm just saying. You have your ways.

[ He can definitely play it cool when he needs to, no matter what he's teased about. ]
