[ Jet may not be fantastic with electronic things, but he knows enough about them to not freak out when the thing talks to him. His voice is quiet and vaguely amused. ] I'll try to, Miss, though I'd appreciate it more if I could get some coordinates.

... No? Alright, that's shiny. [ Snort. He'll just do some exploring on his own, then! ]

[retrograding]

I wasn't going to bring it up. Your faces match, but that's where the similarity ends. [ He peers up at the sky. ] I had to look twice. They don't mean harm.

[gleans]

[ Snort. ] Well, dude, you're the most level-headed one I've met. But... I know. Ghoul's alright.

So -- yeah. Right. Wow. I'm Galen.

[retrograding]

You know, I hear that a lot. [ Jet muses, amused. ] Patience is a virtue and apparently, I have more virtue than I thought.

I'm Jet Star. Jet is fine. Galen, huh? [ A beat. ] What are your thoughts on philosophy? [ HURR HURR ]

[gleans]

[ Galen raises his eyebrows, then snorts against his hand. ] I like it with medicine on the side. Seriously?

[retrograding]

It was the first thing I thought of. [ c: ] It'll be easy to remember and easy to distinguish, anyway. Glasses and dark hair are enough, but I think it's the calm that betrays you.

[gleans]

Compared to your buddy, yeah, I bet it does.

[retrograding]

A mule to your horse. [ Snort. ] Let me ask you a question.

[gleans]

[ Heh, that makes him smirk a little. ] Sure, go ahead.

[retrograding]

Are you okay? You look tired.

[gleans]

[ For some reason, that isn't the question he's expecting. Galen 'um's a little. ]

Tired, yeah, but -- I'm okay. Thanks.

[retrograding]

[ He can't help it. ] Alright.

I'm needed for - "adventures". [ He does the finger quotes. ] But if Party Poison gives you trouble, if any of the boys give you trouble, tell me. [ y'hear??? ]

[gleans]

[ Sn...ort. ] Seriously? Are you like, their babysitter, or something?

[retrograding]

[ Have a long suffering, overexaggerated sigh. ] Yes.

[gleans]

Well, good, cuz I think they need you. Uh, welcome, by the way.
