Echo smiles and nods.

Glam really, really shouldn't say something like, 'So, do I get a reward?'

...so they don't. What a feat of self-control! "And of course we owe a lot to our Captain's awesome bots and mind powers."

"Yeah! Whoop whoop!" The other heroes have left the room. "Aaaand I don't have patrolling today so I'm gonna shower and browse."

"You could do that on the console in case anyone needs you," suggests Glam.

"Yeah, sure."

"Don't shower on the console. Just browse there."

She giggles. "Spoilsport!"

Glam floats and asks, when Rewind's far enough that she won't hear: "So, I do think we both deserve a reward for our tremendously competent handling of the villains today," they say, because self-control only goes as far as it absolutely needs to.

"You think so, huh?"

Permalink

"Yes! I do! I even have a few suggestions!"

Permalink

"Well, let's go and I'll hear your proposal out."

They do, and she does. They're quite interesting suggestions, too.

Lorica as always exercises her judgment with care.

And then she puts her helmet back on and says, "Uh, my parents want you to come to dinner?"

Blink.

Blink blink.

"Uh, today?"

"Today is available later is also fine if you'd rather."

"No, today is fine." He sits up and looks around. "I should, uh, probably get more presentable."

Permalink

"Possibly. Dad'll want to go home in the next twenty or thirty minutes."

Permalink

"I will have to look presentable really fast!" he says, getting up with alarm. "What should I wear?"

Permalink

"You don't have to dress up," Lorica says. "And I can delay him if you need longer than that."

Permalink

"Um, alright, uh, thirty minutes should be good, I'll need a shower and I can conjure clothing on me if I need to." He pauses. "Behavior? What should I behave like?"

Permalink

"If I wanted you to act like a chicken I'd bring you hypnotized. They're not going to bite you, Sadde."

Permalink

"I am in a slight panic here. No biting. Right. Um. Shower."

Permalink

"They're nice!" says Lorica, as he heads into the shower.

Permalink

So he takes a quick long shower (because he kinda always needs to, after these times with Lorica), then looks for something nice to wear.

Permalink

Lorica has left his room by the time he's out of the shower.

Permalink

Soon after he's knocking at her door, wearing a white polo shirt and his best jeans and nicest shoes.

Permalink

"You all set? You'll want your costume over that for the trip in case anybody's looking at the intermediate points."

Permalink

"Yeah, and alright, I can conjure it."
