The train.

Loki did the same thing after the secrets game. He's skittish, so I just let him do it as long as he wanted.

...Did what?

[What could Loki--wait]

Loki is the guy on Jasmine?

The hair petting thing.

Yeah. He said he didn't have a nickname, so I could just choose something. He seems like a Loki to me. [Because Cael is a cat.]

Oh, makes sense.

Loki huh? Not a bad name.

Yeah. It was nice.

Yeah. Though hopefully he'll choose one he actually likes soon. Not sure how he felt on it.

Maybe you're just a fun guy to pet? Like spirit catnip.

...you may not be wrong about that. [Loki pets him, Robin contracted him, Rean.]

Do I smell different?

Hmm now that you mention it....

[But the twinkle in his eyes says he's joking.]

[Looks over at him before noticing that twinkle.]

[He snorts.] I guess that means I should stop eating that weird plant outside.

Not eating weird plants should already be standard.

[Laughing a little but.]

I think it's just because everyone ends up drawn to people they feel they can trust. You've already noticed it but a lot of people here don't know how to open their hearts to others. But you're the kind of guy who seems like it'd be safe to be vulnerable around.

And maybe the kind who needs a little looking after too. We have a lot of awkward mothet hens.

I suppose if you want to be sensible.

....I am? [Seems genuinely surprised.] I mean, I try to be trustworthy, but I wasn't sure I was doing it....well.

...do I really worry people that much?

More like, isn't it natural people will worry about you if they like you and you're a little selfless? It's not good to make people fret but a little worry is pretty normal, so it should be fine.

Selfless. [What is this word applied to him, definitely sounds fake.] ....I guess I do come across like that.

It is natural to worry, that's true. I'm trying to not need it, but I guess standards are kind of....off.

You definitely come across like that.

It's not bad that people worry, though.

Which is weird to realize because I'm really not.

No, I know. But you've also seen my memories and me here. My standards are.....intense.

How long was I asleep anyway?

Mmm. Yeah. Intense is a word for it.

A few hours? Maybe about four?

....a bit crazy also works.

Huh. Maybe I do need less sleep than normal people.

[He's still got eyebags, but that's. Years of sleep debt.]

If you feel rested... you still look like you could use sleep though, but you might just have a backlog.

Probably that. Who knows what I was dealing with before I showed up.

Probably didn't have a cuddle partner to help the probable ptsd either.

Yeah the guys you were with in memories so far didn't exactly scream cuddle-experts.

Yeah.

....well, maybe Donut. But I also don't think a lot of what he said was on purpose.

Also maybe we have a history.

[To be honest Donut wad also the only possible exception he could think of.]

A history?

When I look at pink, I feel fond and also like....I don't know. Shame? Guilt? Some kind of discomfort.

I really like blue, I have blue teammates. I'm betting Grif or Simmons is orange. Fond of red. I'm had strong feelings for colors and I'm going to bet the brightly colored space marines are probably why. Pavlovian reactions.

Huh. That makes sense I guess, if you guys were always in that armor.

Yeah. I look at yellow and like. That's my actual favorite color. But it also feels like 'mine,' but more privately then blue.

And my armor has yellow accents so. Probably that.
