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.

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.

[lionunchained]

Good luck with that. Let me know if you need any help and I'll try to assist.

[doubled_speed]

[Tommy smiles.]

Dude, did you just volunteer as tribute on cooking? Because tell you what, I could use some brains to help me figure out how to cook without us eating tons of glitter.

[lionunchained]

[He chuckled] Sure why not. Keith will just tell you not to let me actually cook.

[Don't let him cook]

[doubled_speed]

Plenty of people would have told me that a few months ago too. We have to learn to do what we learn to do. Our best.

[It's the way it works here. Gotta learn because what else do you have?]

[lionunchained]

I suppose so. I'll give it a try, but again, Keith will say I shouldn't be around anything that's cooking.

[Don't say he didn't warn you]

[doubled_speed]

[Well, neither should Tommy. So he grins.]

Dude, if you can chop stuff, you're helping. If you can stir stuff, you're helping. And if you can come up with a good way to help protect the work from glitter, you're helping.

[He offers a wink.]

Come help me, Space-Man.

[lionunchained]

Alright then. I'll be there soon.

[doubled_speed]

I look forward to it. Having you around would be nice.

[lionunchained]

Yeah, it will be nice.

[He's enjoyed the time he's been with Tommy]

[doubled_speed]

[Well, Tommy will appreciate the company too.]

Cool. Worst comes to worst, you can get some glitter seasoned food while you're over.

[lionunchained]

[He laughed]

Well, I've been involved in a food goo fight back home so glitter food isn't so different.

[doubled_speed]

Food goo? That like protein paste?

[That sounds amazingly fun.]
