Oh, so you still like them even though they don't fly. Well... I guess the way that they swim through the water might be comparable in terms of how free they are to go where they will... I've seen some clips from penguin documentaries, they do seem like funny little bastards.
[ kaiser would've liked seeing pesto the giant penguin chick... or those gay australian penguins... but all he's seen are clips of penguins stealing eggs from each other. ]
[ kaiser's bad for talking about something (hedgehogs) that sae might actually have a thought on. ]
Um... should I read some philosophy to you directly, then? There's something I read not that long ago... [ then there's the sounds of kaiser moving about books and flipping through pages before he settles back down in bed, opening up to a page he's bookmarked— ] "The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen..."
Keep reading. ( but since it's philosophy, he only catches every other word, anyway, so... kaiser can keep talking to him in his soothing german mamo voice and sae will drift off. eventually. )
[ blah blah blah "The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.".................
but will kaiser be let back in sae's apartment now :( ]

Okay. Talk about something boring. ( NOT birds. )
