Oxford just walked out of the bathroom when he heard a knock on the main door. He approached and answered the door. Ray and Fier were standing outside the hallway, looking at Oxford who is standing in the doorway.
"We're going to stroll around the city.", said Ray to Oxford.
"Ok... what time will you two return?", questioned Oxford after he let out a sigh.
"Three, or four.", answered Ray after he glanced at Fier, who is standing behind Ray.
"Be careful.", said Oxford before he moved back inside the room and closed the door on them.
Ray turned around to Fier when the door closed, then they left the hotel and decided to visit the Eiffel tower. They didn't use any kind of transportation, they just walked their way to the destination while having a conversation to keep them busy.
"Bigger then I expected.", said Fier while he was staring at the tall steel structure in front of him.
"Trust me, I've seen bigger.", commented Ray with a quick glance at Fier before walking towards it and Fier followed him from behind.
Fier guessed that the reason why Ray said that is maybe he saw something from the facility that really dominated the height of the Eiffel tower. Ray stopped when he arrived in the middle of the base of the tower while looking straight up. He then looked at Fier who is standing next to him, also looking back at him with both of his hands placed behind his back.
"First time outside the penthouse?", questioned Ray and Fier responded with a nod.
"Do you speak French?", questioned Fier.
"I... do not know.",answered Ray when he turned around looking at the locals in the area.
"I would try it if I were you.", said Fier.
Ray slowly moved away from Fier and approached a man who looks like a local. Ray first spoke English, just to get the man's attention, when the man turned around to face him, Ray stopped talking and waited for the man's reply. The man gave Ray a hand gesture that he doesn't speak English, so Ray decided to speak French. Fier moved closer and was surprised for a second that he can hear Ray talking in a different language with ease. Fier started to record Ray's conversation with the man with his robotic eyes. After a few minutes, Ray thanked the man and walked back to Fier who he caught staring at him.
"Now I want to know more about myself.", said Ray when he stood next to Fier, who is still looking down at him, quietly, until he spoke.
"That is why Oxford and I are here.", replied Fier.
"I know.", said Ray as he started to walk away from the tower and Fier followed him.
After spending just a few minutes near the Eiffel tower, they left the area and decided to visit the Arc de Triomphe, and this time they didn't walk to the place. While they were in the vehicle, Fier found a text, which is written in French, embedded on the back of the seat in front of them. Ray was sitting next to him when he poked at him and told him to try to read the text. Ray slightly leaned closer to the message and started to read it, quietly, but still loud enough for Fier to be able to hear it. After Ray read the text, Fier stared at the message and waited for just a second for his processor to translate it to English, then he found that Ray read it correctly.
They sat on the bench, staring at the stone structure in the distance. Ray bought a bagel from a nearby shop and ate it when they were still sitting on the bench. Ray was eating the bread when he had an idea. His idea is to write everything he knows in a notebook or a computer, it also might be the only way for him to know more about himself. He turned his head to Fier and noticed something about him, he looks sleepy. So Ray asked Fier is he is sleepy or not and Fier nodded gently when he looked at Ray. They went back to the hotel with the use of a taxi. When they arrived back to their room, Fier patted gently on Ray's right shoulder before walking to his bedroom, to get some nap. Ray guessed that Oxford and his family are still sleeping when he sat down on his bed. The idea of writing everything he knows is still in his mind even when he rested flat on the bed, placing both of his hands on his chest and feet slightly apart. He rolled his head to his left and stared at the laptop that is resting on the right bedside cabinet. He is wondering if the laptop can take down notes or documents, so he sat up, scooted closer to the device and grabbed it and placed it on his lap whilst also opening it.
Ray found that the laptop is capable of the documents, as a result, he launched the notes app up and started to type everything he knows and can remember. He first went to the web and searched how many languages are there in the world. When he found the answer, he then tried to speak all of them, quietly, so that he won't disturb his friend on the other side of the room. He continued to type after finding out that he can speak all languages and read different kinds of writings. After he finished typing those things, he then took it to the next level.
Oxford woke up hours after Ray and Fier returned to their rooms. He made himself some coffee before walking out of his room and to go to Ray's and Fier's room. He first went to Fier's bedroom and found that he is sleeping, so he then walked to Ray's room and found that he is typing something on the laptop. Oxford kept his eyes on the man, who is wearing a white general uniform, when he did a knock on the door, just to get Ray's attention.
"Yes?", questioned Ray when he looked up at Oxford who is standing in the doorway.
"Mind if I come in and ask what are you doing?", replied Oxford as he stood up straight and Ray nodded at him before focusing back on what he is doing at the moment.
Oxford sat on the edge of the bed, near Ray's legs.
"I'm trying to type everything I know.", Ray announced when he had this feeling that Oxford is going to ask him a question.
Oxford leaned in closer just to take a glimpse of what is displaying on the screen. He then turned his head to Ray with a look.
"You're like trying to create another red folder.", said Oxford when he moved away from the man.
"Sure I am.", replied Ray who is still typing.
"How was Fier so far?", questioned Oxford all of sudden, changing the topic.
"He's great, more than I have expected, at this point actually, he is like a... brother to me.", answered Ray, keeping his eyes on the screen.
"And I?", questioned Oxford and Ray slowly stopped typing.
"You're like a father to me.", said Ray after a few seconds of pause.
