i appreciate that, i do. don't get me wrong, rocky. [but the guilt tastes a bit like rotting flesh wounds and the bright flashes from his press of a button haunts his dreams.] — i just don't want to mess things up here. it's nice, y'know? you, grace, adrian, the other eridians.

when you have a passion, then it's only right to put your all into it and you're a pretty cool engineer. [grabs hold of rocky's leg just to hold it there.] i don't know, rocks. you're not wrong that humans do usually like to talk about stuff and get it out. it's just —

[grinning widely at him. the nuzzling is so cute and the sound even more so.] too much responsibility and not enough time to do the work you love, huh? i get it, i get it. i like you a lot too, rocky. sorry i'm still — so awkward sometimes. still working through stuff.

yeah, that's a better way. i guess it's closer to what we had on eden but we still had a 'leader'. [if he could roll rocky to spoon him, he would. alas, laziness.] but if they suddenly want a leader, i'll back you up. [teasing.]

⠀ ← mad as hell. ⠀

⠀ 𝐼NTERLINKED。 ⠀

humans evolved a little too fast, rocky. and when assholes get a power rush with no one equal to them to fight back, they start thinking other people aren't worth a second of their time. [briefly wonders about erid.] you guys got leaders here?

if rocky leave early, adrian will come find and then put rocky in nest for many many sleep cycles. good night, sweet rocky. [it's mostly a tease than a threat. a little huff and soon, adrian is growing still — relaxed properly for the first time in a long time.]

you already know how this will end.

searching for his cardigan .. hmm.

all society is the same. they don't care until they got some use out of you. [can't help the little bitterness considering it's only been a few weeks since he's slipped right through and survived with their help.] don't trust the ones who ignored you until now, rocky.

of course i do. you're blunt and honest. you got no idea how many people can't even be one of the two. [a little stretch but he's all noodles for now.] who wouldn't like you?
