"Naw, y'look great," Rocket replied, quickly. Too quickly, when she realized her hesitation may have seemed like a joke. "Like, is'not too bad or nothin'," she amended, as if that would smother her previous eagerness. She groaned, internally. God, she was a mess. This would have been so much easier if Kreska hadn't climbed into her bed and the middle of then night, and was wearing her own clothes, especially that leather jacket that practically screamed unobtainable. Right now she looked, approachable, almost soft and it was doing nothing for Rocket's health.
She watched Kreska bounce, amused as the Jobari admired the ship, and conversed with the AI. Brows climbed her forehead when she pointed out recognizable parts of the Var:jo, always impressing her in new ways.
"I will not," Cady argued, when it was suggested she say chimichanga. "Miss Winchcombe, please inform your friend that I am not a toy."
"She can hear ya, Cady, calm down."
"The Var:jo is seven years old," Cady explained, and did not at all calm down. Her digital tones sounded annoyed as she attempted to prevent Kreska from making any more requests, or guesses. "It is of Terran and Calrathiion design and it is the only one of it's kind in existence. It is not for civilians," she reiterated, using Kreska's words incorrectly for her own motives.
"I jus make sure th'ship stays in usable shape. I check its stats ev'ry now an again to make sure its up to code. It'sa good ship."
"It is a great ship."
Rocket pressed her fleshed hand to the back of her neck. The Var:jo always drove her stress levels through the roof, and dealing with the snappy intelligence was only one of the reasons. If Cady would just stop talking, she would be able to get rid of them as quickly as she would like, but she would not be deterred.
"The Var:jo is not shady!"
There was a sudden bark of laughter that could be heard, coming from deeper inside the ship. Rocket frowned.
"This ship is very shady," a new voice contradicted, becoming louder as its owner drew closer. "It's…beyond shady. If there is a word for worse than shady, this ship is it." The speaker was male, and his voice didn't hold the artificial staccato of Cady's. Camdis appeared in the entry to the airlock that the two women still occupied, looking wildly more relaxed than Cady, in a t-shirt and jeans, hands tucked into his pockets. Normally he would not speak of the Var:jo so openly around strangers, but he trusted Rocket enough to trust her guest.
"Now, I see what has Cady all worked up."
"Ohmyfuck, Cady, didja tell on me?"
Camdis chuckled, freeing his hands to cross his arms over his chest. "You know how she is. Protective." He turned his sights on Kreska, his smile was warm. "Kreska, was it? It's nice to meet you. My name is Camdis."
"Do not be nice to her, she is trespassing."
Camdis ignored the other AI, waving his hand as if to brush her off. "I'm sure a guided tour would not be too out of the question?"
