โ Itโs just an odd place to hide .แ โ
Celci gestures to the blade this time, confusion on her face.
โ And this isnโt creepy .แฃ Pointing a blade at the people who work here when youโre a stowaway .แฃ Iโm Celci, if that stops you from pointing it at me. โ
โIs that a problem.แฃโ
He huffs, pointing at her with the curved blade.
โI don't know anyone here, your Captain's always busy, an' your engineer is ... creepy.แโ
โ Wormholeโฆ and friends with the Captain. This isnโt the most unbelievable story. โ
She gestures to the shelf heโd perched on.
โ Why are you hiding up there .แฃ โ
Poking his head out, looking down at them. Squint-
โBuddy.แฃ That youse.แฃโ
Carefully climbing down, making sure not to fall- before sprinting over and practically tackling them into a hug.
They throw off their helmet, revealing a shocked โ and puffy, wet โ face . Sniffling , they set it aside and caught their breath ,
โ you scared the / SHIT / outta me , Yance ! Get out here and get some sugar! โ
He's not scared.แ But, uh .. Sure.
Shifting a bit so the other can take a seat beside him.
โSo.. What's youse's name.แฃโ Yancy asks, fidgeting with the makeshift knife in his hands.
He shifts, turning so he has a good view of the man- and the exit door. Old habits. He's wary.
.. can he join yancy in his hiding spot ? he doesn't know anyone else either ( besides the captain. )
besides , in a place this big , it's always better to use the buddy system .แ
they can't be scared if they're together, right?
Blinking โ the prisoner- well, ex-prisoner given he wasn't at Happy Trails right now ... wasn't expecting that answer.
So specific-
The man squinted, tilting his head back a bit and crossing his arms.
โ..Mn, what- are youse.แฃโ
