[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.

action

[nerdeology]

Don't get overwhelmed. We'll start with what we can do and work our way up from there, same as always. Gather information, research the area, study what we see.

action

[monolike]

You're right. [Mikleo, as always, puts things into perspective. Sorey can feel himself calming down already. He's not terrified to be on his own, but Mikleo's almost always been with him, especially as things got progressively harder and more complicated. Even more than Lailah sometimes, Mikleo is his mainstay.

Sorey sighs and drapes an arm around Mikleo's shoulders as they walk, which makes it kind of awkward to not bump into each other but whatever, whatever. Mikleo'll shove him off when it gets annoying.] We just have to concentrate on what we can do right now. Which is keeping our ears open and talking to as many people as possible.

action

[nerdeology]

Yeah.

[Mikleo doesn't seem to mind, at least not for the moment- merely sways in step with Sorey, picking up his pace to keep in step with the other's longer strides. It feels a bit strange to be stepping into Lailah's role, keeping Sorey on track, but at least he's had a lot of practice with it, ever since they were kids. Lailah was better with the Shepherd stuff, but a worrying friend is nothing he can't handle. Even the sub lord pact can't change that.]

What about your crew, by the way? I never had a chance to ask. Was there any trouble?

action

[monolike]

Oh no, no trouble. My crew is really quiet actually. I walked around looking for malevolence, but I didn't see much of anything. [He's only spoken to a couple members at length, and they were both very kind to him. He's got no complaints.

Except that. Y'know. No Mikleo.] So you don't have to worry. [because you were]

action

[nerdeology]

[Of course he was worried, but he just shrugs and doesn't acknowledge it. Sorey will assume it whether he admits it or not.]

Maybe I should come to your ship when I need some peace and quiet.

[And a break from the malevolence that totally exists here now. Though with Sorey around, he feels instantly better, anyway. So that's a nice change.]

Re: action

[monolike]

You should! It'd be a nice, quiet vacation. There's not much to do there besides your work, but we would at least have each other to talk to.

action

[nerdeology]

You'd be back to talking to empty air, you know.

[Hope you like your new crew thinking you're crazy.]

action

[monolike]

Ahhh, I'm used to it. [Brings up his other arm to squeeze Mikleo around the neck and shake him a little.] Besides, it's not like they'll throw me out for being weird. It's all right.

action

[nerdeology]

Okay, but you can't say I didn't warn you later.

[Sass aside, Mikleo leans into it automatically, his body relaxing beneath Sorey's arm. Between monsters and malevolence and being suddenly, uncomfortably alone, it's much easier to be back with the familiar.]
