... Yeah.

[ he cannot disagree? with that assessment? ]

Just... be there for her. It'll help a lot.

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

I will. The two of us are in this together, after all, right?

[leaberator]

[ he smiles, a bit ]

Yeah. We are. ...Thanks. I'm glad she's got you around.

[foodbin]

[A low laugh, but one with a little edge.]

Don't be too glad. I think I freaked her out pretty well. Some of my memories aren't exactly... Well, you know. Aliens.

[leaberator]

[ yeah, he does know, which is why he puts a concerned hand on her shoulder at the laugh ]

Hey, she was probably just worried about you. It kinda sounds like you didn't really need the reminder.

[foodbin]

[She shakes her head, even if she gives him a small, grateful smile.]

No, I'm fine, really. I just hope it doesn't bother her too much.

[leaberator]

She'll be alright. She's seen some pretty messed up stuff herself.

[ is that reassuring? no ]

[foodbin]

Yeah, I kind of... gleaned that. Still...

[She sighs.]

If I could show you, I think you'd know why I was worried.

[leaberator]

[ he huffs, a bit amused ]

Too bad it doesn't work like that.

[foodbin]

Actually, I'm pretty glad about that, gotta say. Can you imagine what a nightmare it would be if everyone was seeing the sordid details of everybody's past as easy as that?

[leaberator]

[ inner screaming ]

Just the one guy for me was way more than enough, thanks.

[foodbin]

What did you even see...? Knowing him, it must have been... unpleasant.

[leaberator]

[ he waves a hand ]

Ah, nothing good, really. Believe me, you're better off not knowing.

[foodbin]

...Just tell me it wasn't, like, overtly violent.

[leaberator]

[ a beat ]

He was petting a bunny.

[foodbin]

[She laughs after a moment.]

Right. Very funny.

[leaberator]

Hey, you told me to tell you it wasn't violent, I dunno what you want from me.

[foodbin]

If you're going to lie, at least make up something believable.

[leaberator]

Well that's no fun.

[foodbin]

[She laughs.]

Careful. Your eyes might turn brown.

[leaberator]

[ well kh isn't allowed to say shit so

he just looks confused ]

Huh?

[foodbin]

...What? I meant that you're—

[...]

Actually, never mind.

[leaberator]

What? C'mon, don't leave me hanging.

[foodbin]

I was making a joke about you being full of shit.

[Well. That was easy.]

[leaberator]

[ ........................... ]

Now that's just plain rude.
