"No need to thank me." Gently pecking his cheek, hand on his back. "Slept well, good looking?"

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Sleepily blinks before smiling and taking the coffee. ❝ Woman after my heart ... thank y'kindly. ❞ ⠀

Offering coffee. "Morning, cowboy."

Does that mean everything else is fine?

She knows it isn't. She just likes to mess with him.

She's sending @loadedgun.bsky.social that one cursed gun 'cleaning' video. [Is this you?]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ He'll be the taste tester ~ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Cute?! ❝ Wha-- I ain't... Hmph. ❞ Fists to his hips. He can't argue with Robin of all people. ❝ Well I reckon I'll get it back later. They couldn't get too far... ❞ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Can he eat the cookie dough? ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ He still seems quite proud of himself. Rebellion simply runs in his veins. ❝ Well yer here now. ❞ The kids are gone. ❝ Uh... I don't know where they went, but one of 'em has my hat... ❞ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ He is unashamed. ❝ Jus' wanted to introduce ya. Kept seein' you sneak peeks over here so I thought I'd give ya a lil' encouragement! ❞ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ He's hanging on despite all her flailing, until she's set down in the middle of the action. ❝ Yer probably better with kids than I am -... Wait where'd they go? ❞ ⠀

// : one of my favorite tropes, the most violent character also being the most gentle

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ What a devilish grin. ❝ We can't have any fun if'n yer hidin' back here! ❞ Arms cinch around her waist and up she goes, getting carried back to the kids. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Alright, hold on. Plops his hat down onto Dan's head and walks straight at Robin with his arms spread wide. ❝ SINGIN' QUEEN!! ❞ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Couldn't be too comfortable, laying on solid steel... But the silicon mesh in between his metal plates expanded and contracted with his breathing. At least his leather top was soft and warm from the summer sun. ❝ Now don't say that... You still got family out there. ❞ he frowned. ⠀

Shaking her head, she curled up against him once more, head partially resting against his chest. "I just woke up there. After years spent stuck in a... Void." It was the only and best way for her to describe what had happened to her. "I should've died back on Sigonia." Whispering, dead serious.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Come on Miss Singin' Queen, no use hiding! ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ So are you two friends...? Out playing together? ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ IS THAT SINGIN' QUEEN HE HEARS?! ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ ❝ Guilty as charged... I'm from some place far away. But I'm a loyal follower of the Hunt. ❞ He beams proudly. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Boots is a fine name! No weirder than Dan. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Like a pack of hungry chickens pecking at his shins. ❝ Boots! Who're you? ❞ he tilted his head to the other boy. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ The cowboy cut a cheeky grin as he picked up his utensils. ❝ Awful kind of ya t' offer! Nothin' beats a good ol' home-cooked meal, I'll tell ya that. ❞ He wasted no time digging in, still eating like a man with a starving stomach. ⠀

". . . i suppose i'm used to taking care of those a little younger than me, so it makes sense in a way." she eyed him curiously, mostly also waiting to see if the seat would hold his weight. when it deemed stable, she slid over the plate with a hum. "though, i will admit, this is kind of... nice."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ He didn't dare close his fingers. A metal cinch like that might scare the kid. He could just hold onto it. ❝ Dan, huh? Name's. .. Boots. ❞ Nice and simpl and less macabre for a kid. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Raising an eyebrow as he holds out his metal hand. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ To that, the cowboy was silent. He watched the stars through the parts in his bangs, made a mental note to badger Aventurine to respond. Must be excessively busy not to answer his texts. ❝ How'd you even get here? Snuck onto some starship like I do? ❞ ⠀

The thought made her smile as she got lost in her mind. Humming, she imagined what her life would be like, exploring, and her expression turned sad. "I don't think I could do it alone though. I've been... Lonely most of my life, I'm tired of it." Whispering.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Squints back down. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⋅. ⊹⠀ Mm hm. That's what he calls kiddos still knee high to a grasshopper. ⠀
