God Dimmit, why is it always so hard with women? Although, how would he know what really works with them?

«I’m certainly, very sorry, but let me ask you», he had to switch the topic showing her the direction, «Here – to the right, to the pond». Mansour mumbled, feeling that in her eyes he looked like a moron.

However, she didn’t make any fuss and turned into the side street following his lead. Margaret clearly wanted to see the pond.

«Let me ask you, are you a scientist? Rather… How did you manage to get a white-gold bracelet?» Mansur finished his question.

«I cheated», Margaret looked annoyed. «Remember, seven years ago there was an experiment with awards of extreme athletes? I just got into this thing. Always been interested in parachute sports, and eventually acquired the white-gold level. I never even thought about the result – I simply like flying. Jump off the rock into the abyss and lose yourself for a few moments. If I knew that with this bracelet, people would be asking me every day: „Oh, so you are a scientist!“ then I wouldn’t jump at all! I would be happy to have a level like yours».

«Understa-a-a-and», Mansour stretched this word pondering. «No, you’re all right! Your white-gold bracelet is well deserved. I’ve never dared to parachute or dive in my life, but I’m great at quests and creative thinking».

Margaret stopped and looked up.

«Here it feels surprisingly harmoniously somehow», she said.

«Right», Mansour nodded. «These ponds are a historical monument, and above them, there is a piece of real sky that is kept.

Being in this alley feels magic, I always liked it. Here in this building», Mansour pointed to the wall of the building to the left of them. «I think, on the one hundred seventh level – the exact holographic reconstruction of the ponds, the way they were in the twentieth century. It has nothing to do with what they are right now. But you know I like a real pond for some reason».

They stood for a minute trying to see a narrow strip of sky between the walls of two huge buildings going hundreds of floors up.

«I want to see the ponds», Margaret said.

«Let’s go», Mansour carefully took her hand and led her further down the side street. «You know, I have a somewhat unusual hobby. Perhaps, if I show my work to the Central Artificial Intelligence bureau I might get the white-and-gold bracelet, too. Maybe. I don’t know; because I don’t want to show it to anyone. But feel like I want to tell you about it».
