Elsa was bored out of her mind. All she had to do was keep an eye on a six year old readings book, listening to whatever music was considered likable. Maybe it was new relevant music? She didn't know to care to know at the moment.
She was so far behind in poo culture, she was finally like a grandparent. Confused by new material everyday and bewildered by technology. Windowed how Earth hadn't become the world in Terminator yet.
She wasn't going to start away from the paradigm.
Her ears caught the soft sound humming, low and sweet from the Pike. There was actual conto on her voice as she hummed along, flipping a page in her book. Those a few keys sounded familiar, Elsa listened closer.
She walked dove to the girl staring down at the labyrinth of pages she still had. She was observant and soaked in every little detail. She didn't care for Elsa's shadow as long she wants disturbed from reading.
She whispered to herself as she heard the chorus, "Try, try to understand, I'm a magic man."
"People still listen to Heart?" Elsa smiled down at Brystal, loud enough for the little girl to hear.
She smiled, shyly. The little girls cheeks brushed a shade of pink from her slight shyness. She plucked out the listing device she'd been using out of her ears. Brushing a strand of dark brown hair back behind her ear.
"Yes! Well, me, dad, mom, and Kit do! We listen o a lot of old stuff as many more modern and electro-beat listening people say."
"Well, it's much better. You can understand what they're saying, you feel emotional, and you can lyrics!"
Elsa suddenly found herself getting slowly attached to the little girl. She had the cutest personality, so different from other kids her age. She wasn't so glued to the screens for learning; in addition, she'd rather have a book laid on her lap.
Ava was definitely raising her kids the right way.
"Exactly, my mom says almost something like that," Brystal replied, "I currently like this song-"
"Magic Man?"
"Correct. It's because it popped into my head during takeoff that I had to listen to the song again," Brystal explained, "I mean I've had it on repeat now for....a few.....no...12 minutes?"
"Well, do you know all the lyrics?"
"No, I mess them up at some points." Brystal answered.
"That's fine. Nobody's perfect. Tell that to Adeline for me, will you?" Elsa chuckled.
"I'll try to," Brystal answered, "Foes she have low self-esteem or something?"
Elsa paused, a puzzling look contorted she face. Perhaps, she had stated that completely wrong. Brystal didn't know about Adeline and Elsa's frenemy relationship. She had no idea of their bickering or slight annoyance for each other.
