The me in my dream space. Some of the things that me said was, well, not cool. You didn't intend to be in that situation and just having a random dude you can't get away from talking about you being attractive or not isn't cool. It's like being hit on at work and you can't tell a person to go away or something.
[And Shiro would be there. He was excited to see all of the signatures that Tommy had gotten on it... and was curious if he had noticed the one surprise on in there]
Hmm... maybe. I guess it might depend if there was someone you were trying to get to realize I was hot. You could just be trying throw people off the trail.
[Not that he really thinks that]
But you never know what people will think about your reasons. There's always the chance people will put their own opinions on it.
Doesn't being a wing man mean that I should be trying to get some guy to realize you're not if that's what you want them to realize? And I'm not throwing people off the trail! I specifically noted that you're not. There's not trail to throw from!
[It's okay, he's certain he's only protesting the appropriate amount.]
Okay then. So, uh, your card. The proof. That people think it. Okay.
[Shiro just smiled, noting how much that he was protesting, but not saying anymore about it. Unless he said otherwise, Shiro would entirely believe that Tommy was doing it for perfectly innocent reasons. Pushing would only lead to him denying it even more - true or not]
According to Keith, Lance had a little shrine to you. Though I could get why someone would. And we come right back around to you're hot I guess. But you were also famous, right? They said that.
I was the best pilot at the Garrison when prior to everything that happened. At the time, I didn't have the same muscles that I do now so I think it was more of an admiration thing.
Yeah. He definitely had kind of idol complex when we first started so I wouldn't be surprised if he had created a shrine before we started working together more often.
I see. Must be rather interesting to consider, since they are not made people in your world, but real people. I would think it would strange to see an action figure of myself.
[Tommy perks up at that, and he slips through the door with a smirk. Speedsters, give them an inch, and they're suddenly several feet inside your space before you can blink.]
[As they get to the kitchen, he set about brewing the coffee. As there was no coffee machine per say, he had essentially created a french press to brew the coffee]
[Smart man, making that. Tommy didn't know what the hell to do so that he could get coffee. It was more important to keep the diner running, so he didn't do a lot for himself. Better to just, you know, provide for others and do the minimum for himself. It was better that way.]
Seems like you've adapted to random alien kidnapping well to make sure you could be comfortable.
Well, I've had practice at it and as far as random alien kidnappings go, this is not the worst possible option.
[With the water heating, he leaned back against the counter, trying not to watch as it would never boil that way]
I'd considered trying to plant some of the beans, see if we could actually get a crop of them, but I think by the time they are roasted, that isn't possible anymore.
[Tommy sighs and shifts how he's sitting to curl his legs under him. It's an unconscious gesture that comes from trust. Truth was that he could get out of the position quickly, but it was comfortable for him, and he'd learned very young that it wasn't something you did around people you didn't trust to not hurt you.]
I've done some planting. Not trees, well, I did have a sapling. But I know what you mean.
[Shiro could certainly understand the sentiment. He had learned that there were ways to act around the Galra in order to make yourself less of a target. If he knew that it was a sign of trust, he would appreciate it]
Yeah, I understand. The plants do help though. Food. Making this place nicer.
That would be nice. I've been trying to keep an eye for anything that might be useful when I am out. Don't really have much of anything, but I try at least.
I still have that random toy Glownie that they gave me not too long after you introduced me to them. It was that time when there was a bunch of glitter falling from the sky.
They do seem to like you. How's the mint supplies? It's getting on in the year so it's no problem for me to start harvesting and drying some for treats again.
We could certainly use some more. They'll go through it if you give them a chance. Of course with so many people, I think they get the treat quite often.
[He glanced over at the coffee]
I think it's done.
[So he'd start pouring both himself and Tommy some coffee. Once poured, he offered it to him]

Oh, apparently Lance was a HUGE fan of yours when he was younger. I don't thank him and Keith for all the stuff I found out.

Yeah, I think roasted would be like that. Might take a few years to grow a tree too. Unless we got someone here to accelerate growth.
no subject

Probably. It usually takes more than one year for trees to start producing fruit of any sort.

move this one to closed?
