George had pulled out a big book full of hockey statistics and pictures.

He was looking way more at the pictures, yeah, but he had managed to discover that the lines on the ice weren't just to coordinate with the uniforms.  He'd have to tell Sookie.

"She did," Beka agreed and she reached up to grab the maps of Virginia. "Mayhap you're just a hopeless."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He glared at her for an instant. "I am not."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Beka suppressed a smile as she unfolded the map. "If you say so."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Aye, I do," George said with a nod. "Deal wit' it, lass."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I am," she said, absently as the maps had caught her attention. "These are more precise than any map I'd seen afore."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He looked over her shoulder, interested too. "P'haps they have a computer-thing do 'em."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"Like a laptop?" she asked, only knowing that you could listen to the radio on it.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

George nodded. "They have drawin' programs and th' like. They're probably better than drawin'."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

She looked back at him, giving him a weird look. "How'd sommat like that be able to draw?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I dunno fer sure," he admitted. "But I think ye can tell it t'do it and it jus' does. Or it can copy th' best map and make it over an' over?"

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"But..." She frowned. That made no sense. "It doesn't have aught to draw with!"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"A person has t'tell it to," George said, rolling his eyes.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"And what hands' he going to write with?" she raised an eyebrow.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"He doesn' need hands," he argued. "Tis digital."

Shhh, he didn't know what digital meant either.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"And what's that mean?" Beka asked, since he seemed to be the expert.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"That it does it on th' computer screen," he said. "Jus' like th' teevee."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I'll not be carrying a television with me on the street," she said, not seeing how that'd be helpful.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"But y'd be carryin' a computer?" George asked, raising an eyebrow.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"No," she frowned at him. "I'd not know how to use it."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Then what does it matter if yer carryin' it or not?"

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"You're not making any sense," she decided, having no idea what he was going on about.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"You jus' don' know what I'm talkin' about," he said airily.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"No, I don't," she agreed. "You're not really explaining either."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Ye should be askin' someone who knows about computers," George told her.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

She wrinkled her nose at him. He wasn't very helpful. "Do you have large maps too?"
