01 -- Two Boys and a Bed -- Video
[A general Mognet post today because Lea and Isa need anyone who can help.
Lea points his camera at the mess of wood and metal that is going to be their bedframe.
Eventually.
He hopes. Currently it’s just a disaster with Isa sitting in the middle of it, fuming and sweaty. Their apartment, like so many, is powerless.]
So...anyone know how to read backwoods Wutaian? At least I think that’s what the directions are in...or was it something else, Isa?
I think that’s what it is.
[He squints at the directions before holding them up for Lea’s phone to capture.]
[And yeah, it’s some dialect of Wutaian that two boys from Kalm would never have learned to read. Lea sighs]
Never buy a bed from a backalley furniture store, guys. Even if it’s a great deal for a queen-sized bed.
[Yes. Two teenaged boys got one queen-sized bed. No, they don’t see a problem with this.]
Okay, you’ve asked. Turn that off and go change the laundry to the dryer already.
You nag, you know that?
I wasn’t nagging. Nagging would imply I asked you more than twice.
[He pauses.]
You’re not still filming this are you?
[Lea snorts]
I'm getting it, I'm getting...Nag
[It cuts off.]

That sounds a lot like Itreea furniture from back home. Impossible instructions in different languages.
[video]
Itreea? Never heard of it. Where are you from?
[video]
[She returns the smile, ears perked.]
But that's where I live and work now! I got some of my furniture from Itreea and if it hadn't been for Nick I probably never would have figured it all out.
[video]
[Which is probably not the most tactful thing to say. But he's never heard of Zootopia before.]
Is your friend Nick here, too?
Re: [video]
[She tries not to look too nervous about that but her nose is definitely twitching some.]
....No he's not.
[Cue a sad smile.]
He's still back home.
[video]
I'm sorry. I can't imagine how hard that must be. Lea and I left home to come here, too. I don't know what I would have done if he didn't come with me.
[It's not the same because he could go back to Kalm and if Lea had stayed behind, they could have visited. But it's as close as he can imagine.]
Re: [video]
[She doesn't want to think about how alone she feels right now. Really.]
I'm alright, I promise!
[video]
[Because he's really out of his depth on how to handle this. So buying her a drink should help, right?]
[Video]
[Video]
Yes?

[That part is muttered before she's offering him a grin.]
I'm Judy Hopps!
