[Wait, now someone is intruding in his space no that's not what he wants at all. What he wants is for this foul creature to be gone and for his things to be clean and why is this such a hard concept?]

Who are you?!

I’m Misty. I live here.

[She squints. Something is off about this guy, though she can’t say exactly what. Not human, but not any sort of bad spirit either.]

What’re you doin’ all this screamin’ for?

[Oh, another one of the ship's crew. His fellow crew, if he stops and thinks about it. Now isn't the time for pleasantries though, now is the time for dealing with the monumental catastrophe at hand.]

This -awful, wretched- thing has invaded! Ordis does not desire small drooling things anywhere near him or his cabins!

What thing -

[It's then that she sees poor fox buried under the covers, with just his bushy little tail peeking out. She drops her defensive stance and immediately rushes over to the bed, drawing back the covers ever so gently.]

Oh you poor little honey! C'mere!

[Sitting on the edge of the bed, she opens up her arms to Snuggles.]

Did the big mean man scare you?

[What in the- what is even going on now, why is there someone spending effort to comfort the creature this is the opposite of what should be happening. He sets his mouth in a firm line, then looks pointedly over at the hatch.

It needs to be out.

[Snuggles slides nervously into Misty's lap, curling up tight and trembling as he eyes Ordis. For her part, Misty is glaring at her new shipmate.]

What the hell crawled up your butt and died? He's just a little ol' fox, he ain't gonna hurt you.

Excuse you, that is most vulgar terminology! And this creature has-invaded-made its way into Ordis' personal space and is now shedding biological waste everywhere! That is unacceptable!

Biological waste?

[Misty frowns and lifts up the covers to check for droppings.]

I don't see any shit. Did he go under the bed or something?

Can you not see! There is hair everywhere and who knows there could be spittle and all other sorts of nasty things!

[Granted, he doesn't have to worry about hair clogging up vents in the ship anymore, but the sentiment is still the same here.]

[Misty just... stares for a second. Is this guy for real?]

A little hair ain't gonna kill you. Certainly ain't no damn reason to go yellin' at animals.

It gets caught in vents and short circuits systems not to mention that it is a gross violation of personal autonomy and space!

He's a fox. He don't know nothing about personal autonomy. You can't expect him to react how a person would. But if you're gonna be such a shit about it, I'll tell him to go.

[Gently, lovingly, she strokes Snuggle's back then gives him a nice scritch behind the ears. He's still shaking and making concerned noises, but then she whispers something in his ear and he goes still. A moment later, he sits straight up, jumps off her lap, and heads straight out the door, not even looking at Ordis as he walks by the AI's feet.]

[He has the vague feeling he should be offended at everything, but there's still too much going on for him to properly even process that fact. There's been a violation of his personal area, and that's a deeply troubling thing no matter how badly it makes him look. Not that he's really aware of the latter anyways; human nuances are still very fresh and foreign.]

It is Ordis' personal space. Ordis needs complete control over his space, that is how space works.

Whatever you say. [What a weird guy. And why does he talk like that?] I'll get Rhiannon in here to clean all this up for you.

Ordis does not know what a 'Rhiannon' is and does not trust things he can not logically work through at this time. [Whatever it is could cause more trouble, as far as he knows.]

Rhiannon's my robot.

[Wait what.]

Ordis does not feel comfortable with knowing anything robotic is in subjugation.

[Well now, maybe that's it, maybe that's why he feels so different. He's a robot too - though not the same as Vision either.]

I don't own her, I don't own anybody. When I say "my" I just mean like when you say "my friend" or "my mother." She's a cleaning droid - she'll probably come by on her own anyway, but I just figured you wanted it sooner rather than later.

[And of course there's the matter of the droids not being AIs, but that don't matter to Misty really. She treats them kindly anyway, just in case.]
