Okay, okay so apparently they are trying to festive or something. And to be honest, I'm complaining about the gift though I think I'm already being typecast.

[He held up what was clearly a pink horse plushie though the horse was fluffier... a glownie. You visit a herd of miniature glowing horses a couple of times and suddenly even the world is thinking you are THAT guy]

But I could really do without the glitter. Don't they realize how hard this is going to be with a robotic arm?

[He sighed]

Never going to get this out.

The glitter will be a problem forever. But I have plans for after it’s done that don’t involve sleeping in it.

[Well Shiro is adorable with the animals. And they need affection after the spider invasion.]

By accident I lured them here when I opened a sealed part of the greenhouse and mint grew everywhere.

[lionunchained]

That good at least. What plan do you have for it?

[Yes, everything and everyone needs love after spiders]

Is that so? Happy accident.

[doubled_speed]

Oh, mostly plans for cleaning up. Figure making use of the sort of trail I leave, where things are whipped up in wind currents, could be useful.

[Happiest accident. Tommy laughs, shaking his head.]

I remember when it happened. I also claimed I didn't do it then, even when I did, and then took my deserved shame and credit when we got glownies. I'm half worried people won't believe me. And here I am, older and more mature, or more less.

[lionunchained]

That's certainly one way to do it. Probably the most efficient.

[He chuckled] Yeah, letting the mint escape meant that the glownies came closer to the settlement. Sometimes things work in strange ways.

[doubled_speed]

I mean, yeah, it might be efficient. But more importantly, it's fun.

[The world works in mysterious ways, and so does Tommy.]

Admit it, you're just happy you have glownies to snuggle, aren't you? You're welcome.

[lionunchained]

True. Only other option I can think of is to save it and use in case of being chased.

[Yeah... glitter as a weapon.

He chuckled]

Yeah, I am. They are rather sweet animals.

[Good therapy animals. Give them a little mint and you are their best friend for the next few hours]

[doubled_speed]

Given we don't have a lot of animals here, they're about the sweetest thing on this planet.

[lionunchained]

True. But even among what I saw back home, those guys are pretty cute.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, and they're not the only ones here.

[lionunchained]

Pretty cute animals or things that are pretty cute in general?

[doubled_speed]

In general. There aren't a lot of animals that look nice actually. Though some people could argue against my suggestion.

[lionunchained]

Hmm... a shame that there aren't. Or maybe they are hiding until we release a patch of cilantro into the wild.

[doubled_speed]

I mean, I could go release some. Maybe they'll be animals that taste good on tacos?

[Sorry, he thinks a lot with his stomach here.]

[lionunchained]

[He laughed at that]

Perhaps, perhaps. But then again we don't know what will come. Probably best to leave the cilantro where it is.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, they might want to eat us instead.

[lionunchained]

Yeah. Don't want to bring those closer to everyone. Things that want to eat us can stay further away.

[doubled_speed]

Alright then, we'll avoid spreading cilantro. Just because you asked me all nice.

[lionunchained]

[Shiro smiled] Glad to hear it.

[doubled_speed]

I think Keith might get mad at me if I let you get hurt. Not that I'd forgive myself either.

[lionunchained]

Well, I can certainly say that Keith is a little overprotective of me. But it is good to know that you wouldn't either. I can protect myself though.

[Even if he didn't have his arm that was meant for fighting]

[doubled_speed]

I'm overprotective of my people too.

[So, sorry, Shiro, there might be a second overprotective person here.]

[lionunchained]

Well, I suppose that I can't complain then.

[If they were both going to be overprotective, there wasn't much he could do]

[doubled_speed]

[He could try and stay out of trouble.]

A lot of people are like that here. We're all we've got.

[lionunchained]

[But where is the fun in that?]

Makes sense. If we can't rely on each other, who else can we rely on?

[doubled_speed]

If you ever develop an answer for that, let me know. As for now... I have to figure out just how to cook with all this glitter around.
