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-

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.

[ He flops down on the berth beside her, sagging for a moment before reaching for her and, with just enough warning to avoid hurting her, gathers her up with her blanket and deposits her in his lap. ]

This must have been incredibly stressful.

[ Oh she's plenty happy for that. She curls up and nestles down. ]

Yeah. Yeah it was.

Worth it though.

Drift is being difficult, but that's nothing new. Hung up on me for no friggin reason. Just gotta... not take that personally. Try, try again.

[ She looks distinctly discouraged though. ]

Happy you're here. And you- yeah. Haha. God I feel silly.
