[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.]

[monolike]

Wouldn't it be harder for you to get a ride though? Can the pilot even hear you?
