Mm, no, there is that. [ thoughtful. but they close out their I.R.I.S. and sit up properly, sliding out of the booth. ] The planet's interesting. If you're done on board for a bit, I need to get back to patrol and that includes the immediate area around the ship. Care for company?
[a little start, when they slide out of the booth - she was so distracted staring at the food - but she smiles a little.]
Sure. I could use protection. [she does not need it but she is so okay with people thinking she's helpless. or - rather, people she perceives as powerful thinking she's helpless.]
[ that earns a little laugh out of them, and they move to stretch their arms up above their head together before grabbing the plate to toss it out instead of being lazy about leaving it. ]
Consider me your armed escort, then. We can get you a mask for the atmosphere on the way out. Maybe something to go with any shopping you've done.
[well she will get a purple one and that will be nice]
Hmm. I suppose that's... something. [she's not super impressed but when is she ever when it comes to nut and bolt] Is this a common thing, to need to wear masks? I don't quite understand.
[the idea of different air types is absolutely unknown]
Something. [ they agree. adrastea's opinion of their employer is kind of rock bottom with the rest of you. but they can head off to go investigate. get her a poiple. ]
On some planets, yes. The air on this planet is different from what we breathe, but they do have the buildings converted to filter in the right air. At least that's how it was explained to me - it was something I didn't get, either.
[ they nod, seeming to get this. y'all attached at the hip. ]
I wouldn't say often, but the two of us aren't necessarily dissimilar. I've enjoyed his company when he does come to talk to me, though, so I can't complain.
[ das her brother that got a little too holy..... ]
We both like finding answers. Our means for doing so aren't so different, either, so I can respect what he does. [ a tilt of their head ] I think he's told people that you're his assistant?
Oh, very! [ they will agree, just as dutifully, even though they don't find him scary at all. he's just a funny little guy. ] He certainly has the skillset to be quite imposing to his foes, doesn't he.
[this is such a foreboding brackets. "while i can"]
... To normal people, I suppose. He's very effective at getting answers out of those who aren't experienced with his like. Normally, they don't even put up a fight because of his robes.

no subject
she looks interested at that, though.]
Are there different varieties of the masks?
no subject
[ that would be too nice of nut & bolt. :\ ]
They think providing those options will boost morale, or allow for... personalization. I suppose the latter is true.

It's one thing to sit and listen to someone else talk about it, but another thing to have something more solid in your hands that you can refer to.
no subject
[still! grateful!]
Do the two of you talk often?
no subject

I can see it. He likes people who don't take orders at face value.

no subject
... Oh, I'm sure he has. [she says, wryly. she doesn't mind that much, but.]/small> It's... a part time thing.
I don't solve mysteries or whatever it is he does, though.
no subject
Solving mysteries through interrogations, if I had to guess? But at least it sounds fun to do with him, the way he describes it.
[ interrogations are fun? adrastea thinks so! ]
no subject
He's very scary. [she says dutifully. like she does not think he's scary at all but she has to indulge him.]
