[no need to bow to him. it's a little uncomfortable... owner gets a wave in response, though it's a smart one, the motion more like he's used to a salute.]
well, parts of what he says definitely resonate with gregor, but then the end...
loving anyone has never been safe, in the city. oh, people do it anyway, but-- tragedy strikes all too often. he's never had a chance to decide to try it, so he wouldn't really know how it feels to say it, or to hear it from someone else.
even so, he can't help feeling a little emotional, hearing that teary confession. he swipes at his face real quick.]
Uh- sorry. I wasn't expecting to see anything, I...
I won't say anything, if you don't want me to.
[it'd be silly to say he'd forget it, because you can't just erase things you see like that, but saying it won't be brought up is the next best thing.]
[WHY DO NONE OF YOU THINK HES IN THE FUCKING MEDBAY yeah he is. his throat's closed up and doesn't look like it's at risk of reopening, but his voice is still rough, a little hoarse.]
[so i decided actually you don't get a choice bc you keep making all the starters anyway
it's medbay time my good blanket bitch... where gregor is seated on a cot while yuri is in her healing pod, waiting. a little less tense now that she's in there, but of course it hasn't faded completely.]
[left at owner's door is a little package containing the following:
-a travel pillow -a plushie of a roach -an incense burner with a few sticks of different scents.
and a note:]
Hey, did you know you're probably the hardest person on this ship to get anything for? Jeez... Rodya helped, by the way, she says I have to say so (but who's doing all the writing, huh? Stuck me with the hard part.)
Thanks for sticking around, Owner. You never had to, but you did, so... thanks.
[hi. he's in the simulations room, though he doesn't look entirely like his normal self. he has no roach arm, replaced with a prosthetic, and he utilizes a sword instead to fight simulated targets, still with a cigarette in his mouth.
when owner enters, he pauses, but doesn't turn around to speak.]
[yeah he's going to have to deal with gregor again sorry. he'll still be here after however long owner spends healing, waiting for him to be conscious.]
[ okay he is dragging gregor away from the codependent graveyard crowd. there is no real destination in mind, partly because owner is still learning all the locations himself since he's only been here for a day more than gregor, but also sometimes it really is just nice to walk aimlessly. ]
[ well, morning comes and owner probably has to wake gregor up so they can see that no one is dead! quite amazing, really, even if still somewhat unnerving. i was going to set this for after this happens but actually this seems the funnier option to be just in the pillow fort. ]
well, owner is at the observation deck because it's his favorite. he is smoking and staring out the window at the giant ass mess they made of the planet. ]</small?
