...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?

[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.]

action

[nerdeology]

Right here.

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

action

[monolike]

Mikl-! [Sorey spins around and reaches out to shove Mikleo's shoulder, partially in indignation but mostly in excitement. Sure, it's only been just over a day but- well he doesn't like being separated from his friends, okay? He's already missing Rose and his other seraphim. If he'd lost Mikleo too, he's not sure how he'd be doing.] Sneaking up on me. Are you doing that to your crewmates too?

action

[nerdeology]

No. [A little.] It's your own fault. I was waiting in the other room, but you ran out before I could say anything.

[He's glad Sorey's here, though. It's been... an interesting experience so far.]

action

[monolike]

I couldn't help it! I was really excited to see you. I feel like it's been forever, but maybe that's just because there's so much to learn about this place. [now that he's here though he's going to just get right up in your space and practically lean against you okay? ok]

action

[nerdeology]

[.....ok]

It has been an overwhelming couple of days.

[He's never been shuffled around so much in such a short span of time, and certainly not without being consciously aware of it. It's disorienting, and being separated from his best friend just made it worse. He can understand how Sorey is feeling.]

[monolike]

[Leans on Mikleo's shoulder] There's so much to do. If they're trying to distract us from what's happened to us by trying to keep us busy, they're definitely succeeding. This feels like a really advanced setup.
