"Yeah." Rick nodded. "People fascinate me. And the more the merrier. Everyone's a little different and yet all so fundamentally the same. It's great interacting with them, learning about who they are and what makes them tick. People are great."
"Wouldn't that be nice."

"It won't happen if we don't give her a chance," Mrs. Harris told her. "Come inside and eat." Her voice was brisk.
"It seems like a lot of people are jerks," Colin said.

"Alright, I'm coming." Kasey followed Mrs. Harris inside.
"Well sure, but no one is a jerk for no reason." Rick said. "Something about them makes them like that. Maybe it's a worldview or an upbringing, maybe you remind them of someone they hated, or maybe they're just having a bad day. I think it's good to know what it is."

Colin hadn't thought about that. "Yeah, I guess so."

"Plus if you don't understand a person you're going to have a much tougher time connecting with them or changing their point of view. If you want someone to stop being a jerk the best way is to figure out why they are and convince them it's not a good reason. Trying to understand them first gives them more human dignity than just telling them they're wrong."

Colin clearly didn't entirely understand, but it didn't much matter. Just then they found Piper. She looked up at them and said, "Hey, you have fun exploring?"

"Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Colin knows what's up." Rick agreed."Where'd you wander off to?"

Piper shrugged. "Stayed near the cabin. I've seen it all before."

"That's fair. Cabin?" Rick asked.

"Yeah, the entrance to the school," Piper said. "It's how we tell between the underground school and the building on the outside."

"You'll have to talk to Mr. Clark before you get your food in case you have allergies or something," Piper added

"Great, I'm going to be the weird nerd who goes up to the teachers lunch table." He joked.
