pathstone mingle!!

[dawnwillcome]

Who: The Pathstone + anyone!
Broadcast: nah
Action: yah!
When: lets not go asking questions okay

[Do you know what's weird and probably a sign of things to come for the entire fleet?

The Pathstone isn't the most useless ship anymore. It's actually good at stuff. It's got upgrades! It's got a pilot and two people to shoot guns at things. And two captains.

It's not just Captain Tek. There's two.

It's still a pretty big mess who are we even kidding. Come see for yourself!!]

[and really, Tek seems more than happy to just sit there and be doted on at the kitchen table, but one little thing is all it takes to make him too aware of his surroundings. his head just gets a little too heavy, leans into Robin's fingers a little too much... and he's peeling his eyes open and starting to sit up properly again.]

[then Robin has to work quickly to get the happy look off his face. it's replaced by self-congratulatory smirk as he takes his hand back.]

Wonderful. If that's settled, I've got something for you.

[it doesn't matter if Tek is actually "settled" or willing to take it; Robin twists to pull a flat, white box out of the bag and hold it out to him.]

[heresyandlace]

Oh, do you?

[he says it lightly enough, but of course there is suspicion in there. especially as he's still coming down off of having his hair played with.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Well, I've had something for you.

[no, no, don't worry. he looks away, almost rolling his eyes--but it's entirely at his own expense. he can side-eye the wall, this way. he continues to hold out the box.]

I was going to use this to look resourceful and thoughtful, but now I don't mind saying it's been at the bottom of my closet for the last... [he presses his tongue to the inside of his cheek, thoughtful fidgeting.] Since those casinos, way back. I cleaned yesterday.

[heresyandlace]

[his eyebrows raise in surprise, and he really does a very good job of not seeming amused. but it's still in there somewhere.

he is reassured. nothing has changed; Robin is just a mess. it's almost charming.]

I don't want to imagine what your room must be like... [as he opens the box.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I like to think of it as an extension of a busy mind...

[smiling again, now that his present is being welcomed. there's a little room to be jabbed at, there, and he knows it--but the thing inside of the box is an expensive, well-made, well-sized white dress. the lacing is black, as are the embellishments--abstract, probably, though Robin liked how the fancy stitching looks like bramble thorns and not so much like flowers.

he definitely didn't pick it up anywhere on this moon, so his story probably holds up. it... does smell a little like closet. he watches for a reaction, of course.]

[heresyandlace]

[he knows the subtle things to look for. Tek's eyes linger on the details, counting all the things that fit and match with him, looking for things to dislike. judging by the half of a smile that pulls on his mouth, he isn't finding much to pick at.]

Well... what's all this for?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I wanted to take you dancing, at the time. [which may not quite answer his question, but.] I can't actually remember why I set it down for so long... That planet, maybe. [he wiggles his hand.] Things got busy.

[he crosses his arms, but the way he's postured, how he tips his head towards him--he's almost inviting.] This moon isn't exactly thrilling, but I think we could still have fun...

[heresyandlace]

[delicately, he lifts the upper half of the dress from the box, picks his fingers along the decorating edging.]

We would make quite a scene, you know...

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh yes.

[his smirk only grows wider...]

Maybe we'd even attract a crowd. Wouldn't be surprised if a few unsavory characters tried to follow us...

[heresyandlace]

Sounds dangerous.

[he is delighted.]

I should try it on.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[a short little laugh, and he waves his hand to hurry him towards the hallway.]

Please do. I'm not a hundred percent sure I remembered your measurements, so...
