want me to tell you about the tentacles or just show you once I've located her again?

The last one for sure.

I'll send you a picture.

but seriously, let me know if you see her. I think she's glitching aboard via anomaly, and I don't want her being aggravated around the wrong person.

well it's either that or I'm starting to have a psychotic break with cat shaped hallucinations.

y'know, either or.

Not both? Because both seems like an option.

But I hear you. I'll keep an eye out for a demonic cat.

both is always an option
I mean why be satisfied with one thing when you can have a whole bag full of shenanigans, right?

You're enjoying this a little too much.

yeah. kind of have to, right? not sure I'm a fan of the alternative, to be honest.

What's the alternative?

probably that psychotic break you mentioned. and the ship's not carrying enough ice cream for that. :)

We can look into the ice-cream situation.

But you're not alone. You know that, right? I know it probably still feels rough and we don't know each other that well. But we can work it out.

acquiring all of the ice cream would be super heroic. just saying. pretty sure it's in your contract now.

wow, you are really good at this. the whole earnest empathy, I mean. I hope people tell you that all the time. Don't worry about me, though. I'm like a quarter human, quarter kree, quarter bad jokes and quarter punch-first-ask-later. I might joke about going stir crazy, but I promise I won't punt the ship into the nearest sun.

I'm not worried about you losing it.

Sometimes, it just helps to talk it out. That's all. Better to have a ear than a void.

And I'll look into the ice-cream business.

That's good. Because not gonna lie, sometimes I just want to get into that cockpit and... I don't know. Turn this bus around.

I talk a lot, but I don't think I'm all that good at... you know. Talking it out. My people skills are a bit rusty. Occupational hazard.

You're still a person. Rust and all.

And I hear you. I don't know if I can make it or not. But we have to hang in there.

That's a nice sentiment.

And are you? Hanging in there, I mean.

So far. I'll let you know if that changes.
