9th Mistake, an anniversary mistake [video]

[Mahdi is wearing his hair down, a rarity for him. He's dressed in a loose-fitting shirt, nothing too impressive, sitting in his room and smiling.]

I've learned a lot since I arrived here a year ago. Most of all, I learned that people are more than just a sum of their good and bad deeds, People are much more complicated than I ever understood at first. So I want to thank everyone for being patient with me - or uh, not, as the case may be - because it's been a chance for me to learn. Thanks.

Have you learned anything really surprising while you've been here? I'd like to know.

...On the note of anniversaries, um, I'd like to go out dancing? Somewhere with really upbeat electronic music, that's my favorite. Sort of as a personal celebration for making it this far. Maybe I'll have a dinner or something too, if I can think of something nice to make. Would anyone like to come with me? Dancing, not to dinner. Dinner's still in planning stages. I'll need a buddy, or um, a bodyguard, because I'm so small. It's not good for me to go crowded places on my own. I'd feel more comfortable if I had someone big and tough by my side! Or just tough. Pretty much anyone's tougher than me.

Truffle! How many times have I told you, I'm not your mama! You don't need to groom me!

What- me??

[The fluster is instantaneous.]

But I have no idea how, and I'd probably be really terrible—

[But dancing- but when he says it like that- but dancing...]

I...

I suppose I can... try...

[THIS DOESN'T SOUND LEGIT AT ALL but

ok

sure]


... Okay. Deal.

But don't expect a very talented student.

Oh- sure, I'm never really busy at night, but-

Where are we going, exactly? [A sheepish beat, and then by way of explanation;] I haven't explored the city much at all. I don't really know where most things are.
