Was it?
"Why the fifth floor?" he asked, head snapping back up. "Why not this floor?"
Huh? Huh?! HUH?!
Back to the matter at hand, though. "Won't know 'til we try, gotcha," Jake nodded, muttering the words as he mulled them over. "Might work... yeah," he agreed, deciding to trust this man. Yep, trust was what he needed to learn.
"Experrrdishun," Jake repeated what Truebridge said again. That was a cool word... one that Jake knew he had heard before, and he knew it... meant something pretty cool, too.
"I don't know. They aren't
my chutes
or ladders." Ethan pointed out mildly. "The longer the slide the more fun the ride though, even if the ladder to the top is a harder climb." chutes and ladders were made of philosophy too apparently.
"Good to hear it. But if it doesn't work, remember that doesn't mean you are failing it just means that it doesn't work, okay?" Truebridge told Jake, pleased to see the kid was thinking about it.
