"To be fair, I don't think she'll let me do it either... Even though I'm probably the most artistic person on this ship."

"Pffft."

"I think this is why Wave doesn't let you do any of the paint jobs."

Her own face lights up and she swerves around the plate to give Storm the biggest hug she can manage.

"You're the best, big guy."

And now she's plucking a second sandwich from the pile. The first gets stuffed in her mouth in an almost comical manner as she wanders off to find a Ziploc bag.

"Master chef Storm strikes again!"

She grins as she swipes a sandwich. Just as she's about to take a bite though, she pauses.

"Hey, since you made extra, can I get another one of these to-go? I've got a friend in the hospital who could use a pick-me-up."

Wheeze. Jet, why?

"Basically."

"So like that Pop Team Epic skit where they're in prison and they're swearing allegiance to the Yakuza but because they can't get sake they just cut a lemon in half and lick it and their faces go all SCRUUUUUUNCH?"

"Yeah, but isn't mine also sour, bitter, hateful, vengeful, jealous, and all other descriptors used to paint the picture of a straight-up bastard?"

"Truth be told, they probably won't."

"But that's why this is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very funny idea and I need to see it through."

She just shrugs.

"Kinda stating the obvious with that one."

" Hm. "

He holds no ill will against the other, but even so, that doesn't mean he'll be nice in his little 'interrogation'.

" And if I were to tell you that I could have killed both you and him at any time? "

"You were going to kill my brother," she said softly. "I couldn't allow that."

Humming to himself. . Then adjusting to sit upright and look at the other properly.

" So. Who are you? Why did you interfere? "

Cloud the Bluebird @hydrosongbird.bsky.social · 3d

She nods, grimacing at the memory.

"Yeah... That's me."

Cloud the Bluebird @hydrosongbird.bsky.social · 3d

She's saying... Something in ancient Babylon Tongue.

She saw the green one's reaction to Shadow's alien language and felt compelled to join in.

"...Oh."

"You'd think I'd be better at this, given how much we travel."

Jet the Hawk @jetthehawk.bsky.social · 3d

"Swedish."

"It's Swedish."

"The great tongue of Volvo."

"And now Jet's speaking German, what the fuck?"

"Did I universe hop without realizing?"

A groan. Lift of his head.

" Yes, I'm fine. "

Inspecting the bird, eventually recognising her

" Hm. You're the one who jumped in the middle of Jet and I's fight "

Cloud the Bluebird @hydrosongbird.bsky.social · 3d

"Hey, uh... You good?"

She's keeping some distance between them... Just in case.
