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.

[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?

[nerdeology]

One of them can. There's no reason why I couldn't learn to fly it myself, though.

[If Sorey thinks he can do it, surely Mikleo can, too. It can't be that difficult!]

[monolike]

...haha, that'd be pretty funny, actually. If someone looked out the window, and this shuttle came in but- there's nobody in the pilot seat...! Like a ghost story.

[nerdeology]

If Edna were here, she'd definitely enjoy that.

[Well, it would be entertaining, if nothing else.

He could haunt Sorey's crew. Shenanigans, or something.]

[monolike]

She would. And Rose would start yelling and hitting me. [His laughter doesn't last as long this time.]

...I'll be there in a minute. Hera's going to give me some tips, so I'd better pay attention.

[nerdeology]

Got it. Take notes.

[Be safe.]

[Hera gives Sorey the basic rundown and it's enough, probably, for him to take it out on his own next time (but he'll likely ask anyway just to make absolutely sure). They land and Sorey only barely remembers to thank her again for her help before barreling out of the docking bay into the ship proper, stopping once he reaches the hallway because he...doesn't know where Mikleo is.]

Mikleo? [he yells, because that's usually a good way of doing it.]

[nerdeology]

Right here.

[He says, from directly behind Sorey. Seraphs gonna seraph.]
