What do you miss most about your home world?

[he pauses for a good long moment. and then, abruptly:]

The problem with horses is that they're really stubborn, you see, and they have trouble discerning which basket they're supposed to be getting the ball into, plus they use their feet too much, and that's against the rules--

[Okay. You win. She likes you.]

The shoes probably scuff up the court too. It's a mess out there.

Total trainwreck. Everybody on the board wants 'em shut down.

Bunch of neighsayers if you ask me.

[clay is cheering, somewhere]

[That gets a laugh.] That was terrible. I hate myself for laughing. [Still trying not to though.]

[oh and he is just grinning away. it's been a while since he's been able to have fun like this.]

That was perfectly timed artwork. Clay would think so, anyway.

Oh yeah, just practicing our craft so we can start charging admission. [Or they are actually on TV right now if she stops to think about it which she doesn't.]

Allen's boyfriend? [Not that there couldn't be other Clay's but she'd made note of the name, curious to see who Allen was with. Even if the Allen here is basically a stranger and not one of her closest friends.]

Uh--yeah. [that's the first time someone's referred to him that way in front of orion. not that he wasn't the first person clay spammed with texts when it happened, but. he just usually knows people who knew both of them or knew clay first.]

He's... [shrug] My best friend here, I guess. [it's visibly strange for him, to have to call anybody that.]

[She tilts her head, looking at him and noting the hesitation in his voice now.] Did I say the wrong thing?
