It's Kaidan -- [ He stopped and squinted. ]

Last name?

[animated]

Maxwell.

[ He tilts his head a little, looking over the boy in front of him curiously. Kaidan was not exactly a common name, and he's sure he's heard it somewhere before. C'mon, Charlie, think--- ] Are you a grumpy space wizard?

[ of all the things to remember ]

[kanadian]

[ It was difficult for a cute kid of Kaidan's stature to look constipated.

He looked constipated. ]

I'm not grumpy! Or a wizard! [ But it was...something, at least. Definitely something he slightly recognized. ]

[animated]

That look on your face was totally grumpy. [ ten-year-old Charlie has less of a filter, it seems. ]

[kanadian]

Because I look like I'm five instead of thirty five! [ He contested.

He was allowed to be grumpy. ] Aren't you annoyed?

[animated]

No? Is there a reason I should?

[ Charlie is easygoing most of the time, but right now he seems to figure that his clothes got bigger, not that he got smaller. ]

[kanadian]

Yes? We're small! What about our jobs, our responsibilities?

[animated]

Job? [ Charlie makes a face ] Kids don't have jobs.

[ but then he pauses, thinking for a moment. Maybe he does have a job? Something about a bookstore-- no, no, that's not here. Maybe it's because Charlie went backwards about seventy years to Kaidan's twenty-something, but he's having a harder time remembering. ] At least I don't think I do.

[kanadian]

[ Mostly, Kaidan is the kind of person that simply focuses on these things like the loser he is. ]

Yeah, but I'm not -- we're not kids. I'm not a kid. Just a --

A --

Ugh, I can't --

[ It's there, it's just out of reach, and he screwed his face up, like he was trying to think. ]

[animated]

It's all fuzzy, isn't it? Like static on the TV.

[ your age is showing, Charlie ]

[kanadian]

Yeah --

[ He shook his head, and squinted at the ground, like he was trying to puzzle it out. ]

It's there, but...Every time I try to think about it, I keep going other places instead. It's like...it's too busy.
