Oh!

... Oh. Are you into biology like he is?

[pheromonecoffee]

Not really. I mean, I was pretty good when I tried it, but I don't want to do much with science.

I'd rather work with people than dead parts and theories.

[orangehoodie]

Isn't biology the study of living things...

[pheromonecoffee]

Ever dissected a live frog in bio?

[orangehoodie]

Well no, but--

[faceinhands]

[pheromonecoffee]

A lot of what my dad did was with dead things.

[orangehoodie]

... I guess I don't really want to do what my dad does, either.

[pheromonecoffee]

What's your dad do?

[orangehoodie]

He, um. He works for an electric company...

[pheromonecoffee]

I can see why you wouldn't want to do that.

[orangehoodie]

I don't really know what I'd do though. I don't have any hobbies, and I'm not particularly good at anything...

[pheromonecoffee]

I think it's a little early to be deciding your career.

[orangehoodie]

But I'll have to have some idea in a few years anyway, won't I, since college will come up?

[pheromonecoffee]

That's what high school is for. Electives help you figure out what you want.

[orangehoodie]

Do you know what you want?

[pheromonecoffee]

I want to work in public relations.

[orangehoodie]

[That is not an answer he was expecting]

... You are pretty good with people.

[pheromonecoffee]

It's a talent. You need it when you get older.

[orangehoodie]

... I'm. I'm not good with people.

[pheromonecoffee]

It's not something you're born with or not. It's like math. You have to learn it as you get older.

[orangehoodie]

...

... ... Can you help me? Or is that... too much?

[pheromonecoffee]

Lesson one is smile at people. You're young enough that they'll find it welcoming instead of weird.

[orangehoodie]

[!!!!

he tries???

it looks really bad]

[pheromonecoffee]

[Oh Ken. He laughs a little.] Don't make it look forced.

[orangehoodie]

I guess that's hard to do on the spot...
