Ah.

[Wade tries to remember what shows he used to watch with his mom when he was growing up. Probably not very many-- there was no HBO or FX or Netflix back then, and he was more of an outdoorsy type of kid anyway. It suddenly occurs to him that this remark about Simon's home life might be more of an admission that Simon is prepared to let on-- that he might be homesick for the life he left behind.]

That's okay. We can make up for lost time now, yeah? Got tons of stuff on here-- nature shows, sitcoms... I'll even look the other way if you wanna watch some R-rated movies. It'll be our little secret.

[He gives Simon a conspiratorial wink.]

[Simon has not thought about home, at least, not extensively or without any hint of bitterness, for a long time. It's a part of why he clings so excessively to the Train and the Apex- After all, who would want to return to a boring, lonely existence when adventure was lurking around every corner?

He had a place and even a title. His room was everything a stupid, nerdy, incel of a teen could ever want. Why thirst for more?

Simon's face takes on a confused expression. He prefers adventuring to television too, though when it comes to make believe, he does enjoy fabricating his own realities. Maybe a little too much.]

Uh, you got anything that's... Maybe more in the fantasy vein?

Or, like, sci-fi?

[Oh, Weasel would love this kid. Wade briefly entertains himself with thoughts of the two-- one grown-ass man and one gangly teenager-- nerding out over D&D or Star Trek or the multitude of other media created to please awkward shut-ins. Not for the first time, he feels a pang of homesickness; a wistful desire to see his resident techie here. He would've gotten a real kick out of this place.

Wade flashes Simon his most winning smile.]

Oh, I think I can find somethin' that suits your tastes. Ever heard of a little show called Xena: Warrior Princess?

[incelligent]

[All Simon offers Wade in response is a quiet shake of the head and a pair of wide eyes.

Poor thing. He has no idea what he's in for.]
