Sure, but...I can keep an eye out for it myself. It's no big deal.

Doesn't mean I can't keep a lookout for some also! We're in this together, right?

I...guess...

[Ugh why do you have to say things like that. All friendly like and everything]

Fine, let me know if you see any yarn. And I'll...keep a look out for meat.

Sounds good!

[ yeee frandship! his smile drops a little, as though he's realized something while having this conversation. speaking of hobbies... ]

Oh, I should probably keep an eye out for some carving knives too. [ and maybe some wood. ]

Carving knives?

[a pause as he tries to think]

Those...are different than the knives you use to cook with, right?

[He knew about daggers. Any other uses? NOPE.]

Yeah, for carving wood! To make some figurines.

[ even the engine room can get boring after a while. ]

Ha- right. 'Course.

[Except...he still has no idea how he's suppose to tell the difference]

But see, I'm not from the sticks, remember? So you're gonna have to give me a bit more to go on if you want me to know if something's a wood carving knife or not.

[ s i g h

ok he's just going to ignore that "from the sticks" comment in favor of actually understanding Kaneis's point of view. ]

...Look, they're easy to notice. They're smaller than cooking knives, and the blade's usually shorter than the handle.

[Yes be the better man Lloyd. But oh, that description actually helps]

Oh, okay. I can keep an eye out for that. [Adding it to the list!]

We got a new Captain by the way. [Since he's just...gonna assume you didn't hear a word of the shuffle]

[ he assumed right. ]

We did? [ and because he has to ask: ] What happened to Cecil?

[A shrug] Transferred, sounds like.

[ ??????? ]

Just like that? How come she didn't say anything? [ did they do anything wrong? ]

No idea. I just found out a bit ago myself.

[Okay, he had some guesses. But. He wasn't going to voice them to Lloyd]

...Why would she just leave, though? [ he's pretty sure none of them did anything for her to warrant a transfer request, at least to his knowledge.

then again, Lloyd was transferred without to the Wonderduck without prior knowledge/consent-- was that what happened to Cecil?

SIGH... ]

So who's the new captain?

[He sighs and says it in a simple, offhand tone] I dunno. Maybe it was something about me. We butted heads a few times.

[Which he assumes shouldn't come to that much of a surprise to Lloyd. He's hard to get along with. News at ten.]

Flora. You know, that one girl we spoke to before?

[ he's not happy about Kaneis's theory, but he doesn't want to assume that much about Cecil yet. he'll contact her at some point and get her side of the story later on.

but for now, any sour feelings he feels over Cecil are ignored when he hears the name of their new captain. he brightens up almost instantly. ]

Flora? She's the new captain, really? [ if he sounds excited, that's probably because he is. he knows Flora! she's nice, he likes her! ]

[He gives a nod]

That's what I said.

[ insta-mood change. ]

That's great! I was hoping I could meet her soon, she was really nice!

Yeah, she is. I'm sure you two will get along fine.

[Since you both got that weird....friendship and optimism shit.]

[ hey hey hey there is nothing wrong with friendship and optimism. ]

So where is she? Do you know if she's already on the ship?

[He shrugs]

I'd assume she is, but I haven't seen her yet. Just heard it on the Shuffle.

[Aka he's too lazy to go look]

She's probably still asleep then...

[ not that he hasn't been in the cabin, but he hasn't seen her on his way to the dining area either, so clearly that's the best assumption.

especially since Kaneis's station is on the other side of the ship. ] I wonder if they brought in some more of that custard for her.

[ #priorities ]

Maybe.... [This priority is now crossing his mind too] They usually give us some custard when a new crewmate joins....

...

[ do you see that look he's giving you, Kaneis

do you ]

[....]

If we move quietly but swiftly, maybe we can get to it before she even knows it's there.
