[ there is a ping back! if he is legitmately pinging them. it does show that ganymede has shared their location as being at the observation deck, so keith will find them there.
they're seated on the bench again with their elbows on their thighs, rubbing at both sides of their neck with their hands. their helmeted head is down as a dull, aching pain presents in the drift effect along with a general muted tiredness but faint relief. ]
Oh - [ you know when an animal sniffs at a microphone? that's kind of what kosmo just did, considering they need to be able to hear everything through their helmet. it makes them jump slightly, surprise blipping, but then a tired huff of a laugh exits the synthesizer and ganymede stops rubbing their neck to carefully take kosmo's face in their hands. ]
Hey, buddy. Didn't get a chance teo grab any treats for you. [ they lift their head up to presumably look at keith. ] I'd rather be here than holed up, honestly. Feels more calming to me.
[ kosmo seems fine with this, there’s always next time, plus he is still getting attention. yippee!!
keith can’t see ganymede’s face, nor does he know what they look like, but he can guess the kind of exhausted look that might be wearing. and while his own emotions aren’t the best, he channels a more calm and comforting bit.]
Makes sense, its the same for me too, honestly. Something about the vast expanse of space, with all the stars. Kinda soothing.
[ this is his favorite place on the ship at the moment…]
[ ruffles for kosmo! it makes their tired emotions abate a little, and ganymede will eventually release the spacewolf's face and let him do as he likes. kosmo has a permit. ]
That's it, on the nose. [ something is still restless under the murky waters of their emotions, but... at least someone can relate. it's comforting to have that, and also to just be done with that mess of a trial they organized. ] It's knowing that there's all those worlds out there, all the stars that they orbit, all the people that could be there. A big, wide expanse of possibilities.
oh permit for kosmo... kosmo's permit. special boy permit. in that case, kosmo will place his paws on their lap and push himself up enough, so he can lick their helmet. ]
On the nose. [ parrots ganymede, while cracking a half smile. trying to lighten the mood, even if just a little. plus that was nice to hear and even brought some comfort, because they're right! ] You really are a space guy.
[ keith walks over to join them on the bench, looking out towards the stars. sighs. ]
Probably better than most, but still exhausted from that whole mess. [ kosmo wanders over to keith, laying his head in his lap for a moment. pets woof... ] Even with everything I've seen, that was still a lot to process.
ganymede startles at the lick, which leaves a streak of space wolf slobber on their visor, but the laugh is genuine. ]
Hey, hey, alright... [ not making much of an effort to nudge him away, though. sweet puppy. ] I doubt that tastes any good, Kosmo.
[ he gets a scritchy at the chest level, before he goes off to lay his head in keith's lap. it lets the officer settle down again, leaning their arms on their thighs and looking out at space. ]
... yeah, same. We're giving Scien some time to cool off and talk to you guys, but then we're going to try and get some answers ourselves. Try to understand what happened.

kosmo is the first to great them, sniffing their helmet, rather loudly. ]
Kinda surprised to find you out and about, to be honest.
