[the_fourteenth]

[The even, neutral look Raidou gives him is as hard to read as ever. One that, thanks to its passiveness, can be a little too easy for others to imprint feeling on. Is it apathy? Judgement? Hard to say.]

You're by far not the first to suffer this. It'll sort itself out. Takes a few days. Has to work the kinks out itself, I think.

[Not that he's too sure. This technology is still a lot for him, even after all these months here. Raidou looks at the outfit, head tilted slightly, thinking. He wants to say that no one in the base will probably care or notice - which is true - but he'd feel pretty self-conscious too if it were him.]

Seems comfortable, at least.

[zauneyete]

[ It feels like judgment. The kind of judgment that comes from someone getting too overworked by something that should be routine.

Silco doesn't feel like it is routine. ]

Right. Right. The...difficulties.

[ His daughter could design something more stable, and she designed bombs.

He keeps his mouth shut, but not because he's accepted what causes it, but because Silco rarely speaks about his daughter. Especially around strangers. ]

It isn't comfortable, either.

[ It's not bad, but it doesn't make up for the fact that he's in this.

After a moment, he snaps: ]

Well, will you let me in, or not?

[the_fourteenth]

Just hope that Seok Dang doesn't decide to change everyone's outfits again.

[He never would have gotten a style ship himself had he known that was a possibility. Maid Day sure was something.]

Once installed, did it prompt you do to-- something? If you haven't done it, it may help to.

[He had to stand on his head for a combined total of an hour for his. Other people have had stranger things.

Raidou unlocks the door, and opens it for Silco, with an unenthusiastic flourish of his arm to lead him in first.]

[zauneyete]

Again?

[ He hissed, not a fan of that idea in the slightest. ]

It didn't tell me to do anything, it just had a thing in front of my face [ vision ] for a while, and then it was done.

I'm not an idiot.

[ Just a grandpa. A grandpa in a shark suit.

He makes it through the door, but he's already starting to look around like a trapped rat, trying to figure out how to get to his room as fast as possible. ]

[the_fourteenth]

A, ah, progress bar. Yes. Hmm. The things they sometimes ask you to do are no less embarrassing. So I could understand if people ignored them.

[Perhaps the reason Silco's is glitching is due to the fact that he didn't have to do something like stand on his head, or hug a bunch of people.

Raidou isn't far behind him as they make their way down the hall, and he's quiet for a moment, thinking. Prickly as this man is, they're a team, and Raidou believes fully in that. Like it or not, they're in this weird situation together. They don't all have to be besties, but they'll function better if they get along.]

... Are you hungry? I was going to make dinner.

[zauneyete]

[ He looked Raidou up and down. Of course, his mind supplied, there would be an offer of food. The kid was too nice, but Silco's suspicions were vile and violent, and his single eye narrowed as he considered the offer.

His first thought is that he is hungry, but the second is: of course he is, that's the time of night. What if the boy is banking on it? Sure, he may not be (very unlikely to) but Silco didn't make it a habit of trusting anyone, let alone a kid that made him think of those righteous academy types.

Well, there was no need to be rude. ]

Want something in exchange, do you? I don't make a habit of accepting free offers.

[ That's...... not necessarily better, but it does skirt the line of what will trigger this damnable thing. Don't worry, he will say something unpleasant. ]

[the_fourteenth]

[Raidou looks genuinely perplexed for just a second when Silco accuses him of wanting something in return, replaced quickly by a furrow of his brows.]

N-No, I... was going to make dinner. With the food that is for everyone. What would I want in return?

[He legitimately has no idea. Raidou starts walking towards the kitchen, and Silco is welcome to join him or not. He knows well that a good meal can go a long way in helping someone's mood.]

There is plenty of crab stocked now. I'm going to boil some up.

rolled for two things in this tag and I hope you're pleased with the results 🌟

[zauneyete]

[ Damn, and it's seafood.

Which is actually one of the few foods that Silco prefers beyond: calories to stay sharp. ]

Hm.

[ Man Raidou, he actually takes a second. This is long enough that it might seem like he's conflicted, but Silco then turns, and starts to walk away. ]

No. I'm not interested in your food. Might be bad.

[ Sighs... and the second 1 roll means... that the implant shifts again and if Raidou turns around he's scarred for life before Silco turns a corner. ]
