anyways, ganymede lets io get some ruffle time in with kosmo first as he just gives keith a smile. ]
It's not too different from the sim room, you know. [ to io, but shrugging after as he reaches up to rub along the edge of his wetware. ] We figured we had an invite, too, so it was worth coming along.
reaches up to rub at his shoulder, tilting his head to the side, with an audible crack. to io: ]
Somehow, those rats put up a pretty good fight, now whether it was actually them or some of us at the time... that's up in the air. Nothing a little sleep can't fix. [ he's sore, but it's nothing he isn't used to.
watches gan, smiling. ] I'm glad you guys did, you deserve a bit of fun too, ya know.
Also, gotta say, it was nice to just take the headset off and not be covered in paint.
It was way bigger than the sim room, and louder... and weirder. Feels like comparing a couple of apple trees to an orchard by sheer amount...
[ gan may have his dog time now, io just rests their hands in their pockets for the time being, leaning on their metal leg a bit. the fact ganymede seems alright for now to be without a helmet finally gets him to smile a little more. ]
But it is... much cleaner. I can't imagine how much we'd have to change out the droids for all the paint if it got tracked into the ship at all. Didn't feel much like work, at least.
Well, yeah, but at least the apple trees and the orchard are related. It's just a bigger version.
[ the tone sounds like they've had conversations akin to this before, frankly. but now that kosmo is not being ruffled by io, ganymede crouches down to take a turn at it. ruffle ruffle. ]
It was fun. Adrastea clearly enjoyed herself when she started sniping people, though Bradley was trying to get me in there, too, and seemed to think baiting me was the way to go.
But really, not having to clean up after the fact was the best part. [ to keith: ] Remember the food fight we had in the Castle?
[ then, to io: ] It was like a smaller scale version of the first week of this tour, with the galley on the fritz.
[ just watches them go back and forth, so amused tbh. he rocks back on his heels. ]
Baiting you in would certainly turn out so well for him, Iβm sure. [ sarcastic. rolls his eyes and shakes his head. it would have been pretty funny to see though.
oh help. keith laughs at the mention of that. ]
God, Allura was sooo mad. And we were cleaning goo up for days afterwards, it got everywhere. [ a goo nightmare lol
watches gan ruffle kosmo, then looks to io for his response, an eyebrow raised. curiousβ¦ curiousβ¦]
I think we found goo crusted in random corners for weeks, too.
[ scritches kosmo's ears, putting his face down on the space wolf's head gently. plunk. affection. ]
Amalthea's pretty good at staying on top of droid maintenance, though, and it's not even actually her job technically. That's all supposed to be automated, I think? But I would've loved to have droids on the Castle, frankly.
[ just laughs at the memory, reaching over to absent mindedly pat io on the back. ]
As cool as cleaning droids would have been, I can only imagine how that would have gone, when the whole castle was on the fritz that one time. [ word to the wise: never hook up a galran crystal to your altean ship. bad things happen and everything tries to kill you.
which, as he thinks about it, that's not really the best memory to be bringing up. oops. uhhh. quick change the subject. :sweats: ]
Anyways, uh... where should we go first? We could get drinks or watch a race, I guess there's the mall too.
She shouldn't have to, but... at least it seems she's feeling more like herself. So perhaps we can steal some of her workload.
[ he sounds both unsure and relieved? how do you do that with your mouth, who knows. they just fold their arms loosely. ]
Maybe we'll just have to send you home with some. This ship doesn't deserve 'em.
[ ouuuuughuuuuu back patted. just looks maybe a little startled at the touch, but not in a bad way. instead he just ruffles keith's hair very gently if allowed. ]
I wouldn't be opposed to drinking. [ god it's been a long day. let his brain stop going brrrrrrrrrr at everything. ]

That was a nightmare. All the cleaning we had to do afterward...
[ cracking their back a little in sheer sympathetic remembrance of the event. ]
Can't imagine having to clean an entire castle though. Scrubbing the Eudora's damn well enough when the cleaning droids are being swapped in and out.
