I don't mean it like that. But we shouldn't worry ourselves sick over a lack of malevolence. We can look through each of the ships to make sure there isn't any venomization happening, but otherwise we can use this time to focus on figuring out how to get back.

[nerdeology]

[Nngh. Okay, fair point. Though it feels weird for Sorey to be the rational one.

All this stuff must be getting to him.]

...Fine, I'll concede. But I'm definitely keeping my eyes open for any warning signs.

[And he certainly won't be sleeping until they know more about this place.]

[monolike]

I wouldn't even dream of telling you not to.

Okay, hang on. I need to figure out how to use this shuttle thing.

[nerdeology]

[......]

Please don't crash it trying to get here, alright?

[monolike]

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure this'll more or less turn out okay. What does that do- op. Okay, not that.

[nerdeology]

Sorey.

[HE'S GETTING CONCERNED, BUDDY]

[monolike]

Don't worry! A guy told me that anybody can use these, you don't have to be a pilot. Just thaaaat it probably...helps... What's this?

Oh! That's the engines. That's good to know. Don't worry Mikleo, I'll be there before you know it.

[nerdeology]

Can't you just ask someone else to get you here?

[He seriously does not trust you in those things, and you are not helping in the slightest.]

[monolike]

I don't know anybody here, I can't just go around asking for favors and expecting people to drop what they're doing to chauffeur me around. [also i am having fun playing with this thing]

[nerdeology]

[Sorey you can make friends in like five seconds, someone would definitely help you]

...Just. Don't be as reckless as you usually are. The Shepherd is too important to die in some ridiculous accident.

[And your best friend would be really upset if you got hurt trying to visit him, okay.]

[monolike]

You worry too much. Where's your sense of adventure? We're in space. This kind of explorative opportunity won't come twice! [Sorey might be making a concentrated effort to be more lighthearted for Mikleo's sake, but he really is also genuinely interested.]

[nerdeology]

My sense of adventure would be just fine if I was there, keeping you from getting yourself killed like always.

[Apparently not taking the separation as well as he'd hoped. Or maybe he's just tetchy because Sorey's just a ship away, but the ship itself is the problem.]

[monolike]

[buddy] I miss you too. [And Sorey isn't nearly as shy about just coming right out and saying it.] The sooner I figure out how to use this thing, the sooner I can be there. I promise, I won't do anything stupidly reckless.

[monolike]

...also, refresh my memory, who is the one who keeps falling down holes and needing to be caught by yours truly?

[nerdeology]

[Any goodwill formed by the initial reassuring words dies in a fire by the follow-up.]

I seem to recall every single instance of such rescues getting paid back twofold, or did you forget that?

[monolike]

I just wish your jacket was easier to grip. Maybe we should sew a handle back there, like a picnic basket.

[nerdeology]

Only if we sew enough extra feathers to your coat to get you airborne.

[YOU FALL A LOT TOO, BUSTER]

[monolike]

That would actually look really cool! I'd be up for that.

[nerdeology]

[of course you would]

Why don't you focus on getting here safely, and leave the uniform design to me.

10 min later

[monolike]

[so about that friends in five minutes thing]

Okay! Hera said she'll- Hera, she's the pilot, she said she'd take me over there today and show me some pointers for the future. So I should be there soon!

[nerdeology]

[HE KNEW IT]

Well, good. I'll see you when you arrive, then.

[He cannot properly express his relief, but it's totally a thing.]

[monolike]

Oh man, I'm excited! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever! This is so neat. I wonder if this is what it's like to have a sleepover!

[nerdeology]

[god, Sorey, it's been like a day and a half or something

.........but honestly he's the same way]

Do you suppose there's any restrictions on how long you can stay? I haven't thought to ask.

[monolike]

Hmm...I don't know. I mean, I guess I could sleep in your bed and all but I still have duties I have to take care of on my own ship. I don't want them to have problems because I'm not over here to fix things. [that he doesn't know how to fix yet anyway]

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo is thinking that, actually, but refrains from commenting. As usual, Sorey's full of enthusiasm- he at least wants to try.

So he will try not to sulk when he has to leave.]

We'll test it out and see how it goes, then. And there's no reason why I can't visit your ship as well. There's already someone here in charge of communications, so my presence isn't crucial.

[Plus that communications person can actually, like. Talk to people.]
