[ shoulder patted, they just ease up, hands resting in their jacket now and they catch up, eyes turned upwards towards the "skyline", where the buildings hit the atmosphere of the station itself. this is A Lot of space station, but the walk is easy and leisurely. ]
Sounds good - scope out the sites. Perhaps find a souvenir or two?
So. Tell me about the place you are from, country boy.
A few souvenirs would be cool, we'll have to keep an eye out for any local specialty drinks. Though I'm sure Thebe is already on that. [ their collection...
rolls his eyes, playfully, as they make their way through. ]
It's nothing too special, just Earth. I have a little house in the desert, outside the city, where I grew up with my pops. The city always felt too stuffy and chaotic, even when I did have to stay there.
[ nodding at the first part because that's easy, they can keep an eye out. they turn their eyes upwards, humming. ]
Agreed. Went to school in the Capital, but couldn't quite fit in the way they wanted me to. I studied modern surgery there, but most of my education comes from the provincial ways of my father—preferred really. Herbalism, the Lines, utilizing your senses.
I get the not fitting in part. [ a mental handshake on being outcasts. ]
That's kind of the best way, it makes you more equipped to survive just about anything. And it clearly worked out for you, probably wouldn't be half the doctor you are now, if you'd just gone to some stuffy med school.
[ that sounded way more rude than he meant. oop. ] That was a bit harsh, my bad.
[ breathes a sigh of relief. sometimes you don't think before you speak, then get immediately worried you'd just made a huge mistake. ]
You make a good point there. Even though I dropped out of the Garrison, if it wasn't for some city public school, I never would have met Shiro- well. Ganymede. [ pauses and shakes his head. it's still weird sometimes, help. ]
I'd probably still be miserable somewhere, with no friends or really a future. [ hands in his pockets as he falls a little quiet. bumps arms with io as they continue to walk the station. ]

Sorry to let you down, but I'm more of a country guy myself, never did like being in the city.
[ he's already walking past them, giving their shoulder a pat, like "alright let's goooo." kosmo following after him. ]
Guess we can just see where the day takes us then. Start at one end and make our way down. [ that is so much space station, but okay, sure. ]

My father sent me away to get a modern education - but you're not wrong. It was pretty damn stuffy there. The Capital's uppity like that.
[ he laughs, clearly he doesn't mind the dig. ]
Sometimes, you require a little bit of both.

Name's a powerful thing. Careful...

He is the type to truly leave a mark on one's life. People like that are rare. I can tell you cherish him.
[ so that makes him happy. ]
