Well. She can run, but she can't hide. Goro shows up on time, the next day, with his usual two large plastic bags, as well as with a blanket and cushion tucked under his arm.
He clears his throat and waves at the UFO, from the grass. "Good morning, Glitch."
She was close to calling him a mother hen at this point. He always had plenty of bags now. The insistent beeping. She stretched up. The glad little space she had for a while, even if the nap she tried to get wasn't fruitful.
She dropped down. Her eyes looking up at him. "Morning."
"It's no trouble. I'm taking Drake food as well, so." He hands over the bags—one with three cartons of yakisoba, and a second one with soda and snacks and a puzzle book.
"I brought these... well, in case you got uncomfortable, I suppose. The Metaverse being what it is is a mercy, but it's always nice to kick back." And he sets down the folded blanket and the pillow, on the perpetually dead and dry grass under the miserable sky.
Actually, he thinks the sky might be lighter than it was on their first trip, by now. It comes and goes.

I've got news for you. This was on the board when I first saw it. Someone made it their business to keep putting it back up, from what I can see.
That must have been annoying as hell, though. Just to have a kid come along and lecture you.

Yeah. I don't. I don't know what got into him. I can look. I can guess. It's not like I'm surrounded by detectives or anything.
no subject
[What? He grew up, okay? Put aside childish things, and all. And he can still do everything a detective does.]
Can I tell you a secret? Confidentially. Being the leader and so on.

I was a little worried earlier. It seemed like you were fighting alone.
And yes, I know fighting alone is what you do. But still.
no subject
wouldn't know any difference

At the same time, you're a member of the team. Such as it is. Having your security concerns overridden must have seemed a real tactical concern?

You sure about that?
Thinking on your feet, yes, I hope we can all do that. But are you really made of stone?

[But he doesn't believe it. He knows there's more going on here, if he can just tease it out of her.]
Raven was really out of line, huh. I hope he's not going to be a problem.

Don't forget to take care of yourself, though. Not just for the Palace, or because you can't help Ren. Do it because Ren cares about you.

"Thanks, it's not like many people come here. Just you, and the robot."
