Anthony laughs, "As you wish." He puts some plates, utensils, and glasses in the basket, then says, "De cette façon, madame." He leads Sue to the top of the hill that houses his lab and begins to set up the picnic.

The walk to the top of the hill was dark but the stars illuminated the path just enough for the two to see where not to step. It was a clear hill with no shrubbery or forestry. The moon was a way’s yonder but it still looked massive with the clear dark, sequenced sky. 

Sue watched as Anthony settled down the blanket and basket and laid out the make-shift eating area for them to talk and consume. Under the moonlight much of Anthony’s features were dimmed but she could still make out the dark shadows of his eyes and the colours of irises. She knelt down onto the blanket and waved to catch his attention: 

[i]”So, scrub: tell me more about yourself. Be as open as the navy blue sky.”[/i] she concluded the sentence looking up briefly at the night. 

The last time she’d truly seen such a beautiful scene was during one of her camping trips with another boy. He faired against her quite well, but ultimately she decided that she was far too excited and involved with life to be stuck in one place. She’d seen a vision and she wanted to pursue it.

But now that vision was lost, and a new one in its place, all blurry and jumbled, and Sue couldn’t help but feel lost. That was the point of making friends in the Academy. And perhaps… Anthony was more than just being a gentleman. If he wanted to succeed in having Sue be with her, she needed to see way more than kindness and compliments, no matter how much Anthony had exposed himself.
