...Good.
-pauses, then a little awkwardly hugs the smaller mech-

Please Dont Let Me Turn Out Like Nichrome, Yes?

 

I try. =]] And you're really cute!

...Cybertronian functionism still rather confusing, honestly, as someone without the requisite cultural framework. Certain builds will be better at certain work, yes-- don't send a tank as a scout!-- but doesn't mean...
well. Doesn't mean I should derail party time with politics. =P

 

You aren't a ray of sunshine either, kid.

-hugs back-
I'm not going to leave you. What would the crew do without me? You need someone to look out for you.

 

Nichrome continues to be Favorite Captain. Respect.

 

-with some vehemence- It's a dumb system.
...
But I'm glad you think I'm cute. =]]]]]]

GOOD.

 

My people are a bit death-obsessed too, so I get it. Honorable sacrifice for what you believe in.

 

The one decent value I've bred into my race is honorable sacrifice and a loathing for cowardice. The only one. Rest? Let's just burn the whole house down.

 

So+, I realize that this is pro+bably a weird time to+ ask this. Given that the current co+nversatio+n has abso+lutely no+thing to+ do+ with it. I want to+ ask what exactly is it with yo+ur blo+o+d? I check up o+n things no+w and again, and I've seen yo+u bring it up a few times but I've never fo+und o+ut what in particular is special abo+ut it. Just kind o+f curio+us because, well, drinking blo+o+d is just my thing. I live o+ff the stuff.

Or

No+t no+t live? I guess?

 

Maybe don't say it when it's clearly not true.

Then we might take it more seriously.

 

In what way do you not want to be like Nichrome? I absolutely do not want you to explode yourself, and I will certainly make sure you don't turn yourself (or the house, or the planet, or this gravity well) into a bomb...even if you fuss at me.

 

I don't think those are decent values at all, but then my parents were members of a death cult so I'm absolutely 8000% done with people who think the world would be a better place if they or others weren't in it. Don't even get me started on the question of "honour". If you can't live with what you've done, fucking fix it; your death will solve none of the problems you've caused.

(Being married to him may also have contributed to my general irritation with this notion. Ford is a hero and sometimes that means he gets stupid.)

 

Fixed that for you, toots.

 

Yeah That Thing. I Think The "Being Captain" Thing Might Be Cool. Maybe. Also Not The Military Thing Thats Creepy.

 

I Am Very Okay Right Now Now Let Me Pull All Nighters Again Mom ,:I

 

Given the ridiculously tiny number of colours your species can see, I'm going to have to call bullshit on your having a favourite. That's like Valiska saying Ford is good in bed.

 

Are you implying that you triangles have got a ton of creative sex acts that the non-triangular just can't do? That triangle sex is more varied than the regular kind?

... Even if you are, though, I'm not gonna fuck you. Just making that clear. No triangle fucking for Norm. No, no, no!

 

Why Is That Topic Somehow Still The First Thing That Comes Up When You Are Getting Laid So Often Now.

 

I won't let you explode yourself.

It's kind of difficult to be a captain without being in the military, though, unless you're a pirate or a hobbyist.

Though Valiska managed to become an Admiral without joining the navy...

You never complained until I started turning you down, so why don't you take the cordial invitation I extended you earlier and go fuck yourself?

Because nobody else is going to.

 

... it seemed like what he was implying there...

'Cause he said humans aren't familiar with enough colours to have favourites, and compared that to sex, so I figured he meant that humans don't know enough about sex to have favourite kinds of that.

He brought sex up first, not me.
