[ someone's up and awake again. Not so tired sounding, though. This time, she's remembered to go and eat before she reaches out to the rest of the hive. ]

( Is anyone in the Bearings that can give me an update on what I've... missed? As much detail as possible.

If it were safer, I might suggest we start keeping more accessible records for these... interludes. )

[ She's not fond of this not knowing everything all the time ever. Which on the note of: she sighs, little echoing tumbling thought that is edged with frustration. ]

( And... does anyone what kind of tricks lions should do? Are they meant to be predators? Are they meant to be tamed?

.... Actually, does anyone know what a lion is? I'm starting to realise I don't know very much about animals if they aren't trying to eat you. Which isn't particularly useful, right now. )

[ ... and for anyone looking for Angel, she will be with a strew of mechanical parts around her that is half in her room, half in the corridor for her shiny new, tackely bright gold performing robotic lion. ]

( Oh, sorry, I know you can. You're brave. I guess... well, I'm very good at worrying. )

[ Bite of her lip, duck of her head. Sheepish thought given over. She worries, maybe because she hasn't gotten it through her head as hard as she tries that her hands are good for more than just wringing them anxiously. That if she wanted to support him: she didn't just have to send a robot to him. ]

( That's definitely worth a shot. We'll have to look at reverse compatibility to make them talk to each other... but we can definitely try it. )

[ He's so attached to it - something she understands and it's soft over their brood connection, that she grips tightly back, a mental thread of her fingers through his. Whatever she could do, is always the promise. ]

[ Whether she truly believes it or not, her vote of confidence in him means so much. He's not so sure about brave, but her acknowledgement is what he was after, and her assurance of working on Ren is encouraging. He responds with a rising hum, pleasant in tone, not overly musical but almost. ]

Thanks Angel. I'll compile a list of parts I need if you don't mind helping me look for them. We won't be able to put them all together inside Ren until we're back at the station, but...

[ If he can just work on finding what he needs now, like she's working on her lion, it'd be a nice way to keep his mind off missing Ren. ]

( No problem, just bring it over to me whenever you're ready. )

[ This would be the planet to do it, really, she doesn't know where they'll go that gives a better hope for it.

Because she wants to look after him, give him whatever she can. ]
