[Video broadcast]

So, folks, I woke up to find that my fleet of cleaning droids suddenly doubled. All of them need names- I only have Cameron, Robocop and Leopardon so far. Got any suggestions? I'm a big sci-fi fan so I'd love to name all of them after famous robots, but I'll take anything.

[And on the Windrose, Castle could be found following his new troops, a big, goofy smile on his face.]

Don't work yourselves too hard now, hmm?

[Cayde chuckles.] Yeah, best instill a sense of fear before you ever need to talk to him. Dealing with Banshee isn't a conversation; it's an experience.

With a name like Banshee, I can only imagine. And if he's a weaponsmith AND half-crazy...

Oh - yeah - he's like the triple threat. He's allowed to be out there, though; wouldn't trust my guns with anyone else.

If someone's that good at their craft, you want to hold onto them, definitely. Especially when it comes to survival.

Oh, hell yeah. You got anyone like that? Drives you crazy but you can't live without?

Strange as this may sound given the subject, my mother. She's a theater actress, which should tell you a lot about her personality. But she's been a big part of my life and has been there for Alexis a lot, too.

Alexis, that your daughter? Wife? [Neither of which she has any experience with. Add 'mother' to that list, too.]

My daughter- I raised her on my own and her mother lived on the opposite coast, so I definitely needed Mom's help sometimes. I tried to be the best dad I could be, but sometimes girls do need another woman to talk about stuff with.

Sounds pretty admirable, you do the best you can and compensate where you know you lack the skills. You might have made a half-way decent Guardian.

I like to think so. Having a kid was a real wake-up call for me in some ways- I had to grow up a bit and do the best I could to take care of her.

Re: Video

[Heh, Cayde realizes Castle doesn't take 'Guardian' in the same way he did, but he figures it's a moot point.] Never really had time for kids in my line of work.

[Or even relationships, for that matter. He grows contemplative for a split second as he thinks about Dr. Maya Sundaresh, but shakes it off a moment later.] Out in the field, no place for a kid, y'know?

[thebestseller]

Yeah, I feel you. It's better for them to not have to grow up in that kind of environment if you can help it.
