[blueondeck]

You don't have to help. Don't get worked up.

[leans my head against yours for lack of anywhere else to put it.]

[cookscleanskicksass]

I'm not getting-!

...

[contented little sigh, reaches up to pat your cheek]

Well, if you think I can help, tell me, please. You always help me.

[blueondeck]

[looks down]

If it comes to that sort of point, I'll be sure to.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[worried but trying to just relax you by being relaxed]

Maybe I'll kick Marvelous anyway. I can always blame it on Gai.

[blueondeck]

You could, but he'd get you anyway.

We should move, sitting here isn't comfortable like this.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[wilts] Probably.

Okay! Where do you want to go?

[blueondeck]

The couch. I don't want to move too far.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[scoots over, plops down]

[blueondeck]

[following and sitting down next to you. This is already so much more comfortable.]

You really shouldn't stay awake all night. Marvelous might try to kill you if his food's delayed.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[leans against you instantly]

[headscratch] Oh, Joe... I don't want him to do that. I just got excited about what I was working on. We need more weapons now we don't have the other keys any more.

[blueondeck]

[puts an arm around your shoulders]

That's true. Without the keys, we're out a lot of our usual power. Can you really make something to counteract that?

[cookscleanskicksass]

[happy little sigh]

I'm working on it. Maybe not as much power, but I can increase what we've got, as long as we keep working together as a team.



[and that might just be me beginning to ever so subtly hint that I'm worried that you're leaving]

[blueondeck]

That wont change for now. There's still more we have to do.


[I may not notice what you were hinting, but I figure some of us have to be worried about it by now.]

[cookscleanskicksass]

[relaxes a little]

You're sure? I know Ahim will have to go at some point, to rebuild Famille...

[blueondeck]

We still have more fighting to do before that happens. Luka will also go. Gai probably has a family he'll want to go back to.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[gulps] Yes, true.

A-And you?

[blueondeck]

I don't have something to go back to or some great wish. Maybe I'll look into of Sid had family and tell them what happened or I'll drift around until I figure out what I want to do.

[cookscleanskicksass]

I could help you with that? Um, if Sid had family, I mean?

[blueondeck]

... I wouldn't mind help.

[cookscleanskicksass]

Any time, Joe.


[pleased I can help you at least a little]

[blueondeck]

What would you do?

[cookscleanskicksass]

I'd go through all the computer records I can find. I grabbed a cache of stored data when we went past an ex-Zangyack world a while back.

Or -- is that what you meant?

[blueondeck]

[ I am mildly surprised and confused by that and all of your computer talk]

It's not... What does all of that mean?

[cookscleanskicksass]

[oh, you]

Sorry, Joe. I mean I've got information to search through. What did you mean?

[blueondeck]

Oh.

[pauses a second before looking back down again]

If everyone leaves one dayh, what are you going to do?
