So guys? Uh. Look. Two out of three of you are aware, but.

I guess while there's not some huge disaster going on we could talk about. Stuff?

I kind of have a thing. For all three of you. Surpriiiiise Percy... And uh. Look I know I kinda flipped out last time, but I'm starting to feel better and I'd like to discuss it.

I kinda got into this thinking all of you were an item, but I realized I was mistaken. That. Still doesn't change the fact that I'm really kind of into you all in a big way.

I just wanna know if I'm barking up the wrong tree or... yeah.

And before any of you say it, I don't wanna 'do better'. Can't change how I feel.

God fucking damn I'm so awkward.

I just wanna talk about it, I'm not saying you have to... do anything or make me happy or whatever, I just.

Haha, I guess I don't know what I want. I just want to get it out there, because it's been the elephant in the room for me for a while, you know?

I mean I'm not saying we all have to-

What do you mean...?

Drift and I... It's. It's complicated. I'm not sure I can be around that until we've... Until we've talked.

[ He pauses for a moment. ]

I would not be opposed to... Being with you.

I-

Okay. That's alright. I won't pry... just.

Wait really?

Seriously? I mean, if you don't mind. Sharing. Which is a lot to ask. God this is kind of an off the wall situation isn't it? Crippled one-eyed human asks to be with three space alien robots...

Haha fuck.

As I already said, I care for you Karrie. If you wish to be with multiple individuals, that is your choice and I have no right to tell you to do otherwise. I won't question what you do with the others.

So is th-

Are you. Are you actually saying yes? To me? You like me? Like that...?

Yes, Karrie.

[ There's a crash and some muffled squealing. ]

Karrie..?

Yes? What? I'm fine. I'm great. This is.

Man. I could just get up and dance. Actually I can't. I'm totally a cripple, haha!

Wow.

[ He's a little take aback by just how enthusiastic her response is. ]

Would... you like to meet? Discussing this further via the Link seems...

[ Inappropriate, almost? ]

[ She's going to hyperventilate okay. ]

Yes. Yes I would. Love to. Please. Yes.

Mm. Where are you now?

The usual place. Can't really get up and go without someone toting me around like a purse dog.

I will be there shortly.

Okay. See you soon, Percy.

[ He arrives not long after, entering the medbay and making his way toward her lodgings. He's relieved to find that she's the only one there--of course, she must be, if she's sending private messages like this...

When he reaches her berth he stops, a tiny fidget giving away his nervousness. ]

Ah... Karrie.

[ Seeing him in person gives her a fresh rush of giddiness. ]

Percival.

[ She tries to keep up with her usual nicknames but she's too flustered to really look like she's relaxed. ]

I must apologize in advance. When it comes to this sort of matter I am less than... adept.

[ He hesitates, then carefully offers her one hand. ]

I also forewarn you that I have never participated in any variety of romantic relationship with another species.

[ She offers hers, placing it in his much larger palm. ]

That's uh. Okay.

Neither have I, honestly.

[ He sighs, shoulders slumping slightly, a little of the tension easing out of his frame. ]

I fear I should have absorbed more of humanities culture while I had the chance. If I behave inappropriately please inform me at once.

[ She can't help the quiet snerk. ]

It's not a test, Perce. I'm in the dark here, too.

Just be yourself.

[ He manages to hazard a small smile. ]

Just being myself seems so astoundingly boring, though.

More like astoundingly cute.

This is an argument I will not win, isn't it?

[ A tiny sigh. ]

May I sit with you for a bit?

Not really, no.

[ A nod. ]

Of course.
