You lost it twice...?

Uh, no, it's fine. I lost functionality in that part of my brain while hooked into Nibereus -- my mobile suit. But-- um, Nibereus can still use it.

...I think that will need more explaining. But ah, it sounds like a long story. Also...

[holding him by the shoulders and pulling him back a bit]

Are you missing both arms..?

[orgaaaa orga orga orga he's just like i remember i feel like a kid i'm fhkgnflg]

Ah... yeah... I guess I've been in a lot of trouble.

I guess you'll have a lot of long stories for me then. Good. I want to hear all about it.

I'll tell you everything...

Orga, I...

Fuck. I've waited so long to talk to you, and I've wanted to apologize all this time, but you're just so relaxed you're not even thinking about that, are you?

[kind of blinks]

Apologize...?

[he swallows hard and shakes his head.]

It's nothing. I-- won't do the disservice of explaining.

... Thank you, Orga. For saving my life back then. And for everything you did for me.

[oh i see

he felt bad

what a good kid

just... puts a hand on his shoulder, but it travels up to squeeze at the back of his neck]

...Thank you too, for supporting me from the beginning, and for doing for Tekkadan what I couldn't.

[he swallows, tearing up again but the touch is very nice]

You could have. I was never anyone special. That-- that's why Tekkadan was so important.

I came from the same garbage heap as you.

[laugh!! rubs at his eye again] Well, yeah. I just mean. Your odds were as good as mine then...

Besides, I wouldn't have gotten very far if it wasn't for Almiria picking me up.

Picking you up? Where did she find you?

In the garbage.

[laughs, and puts a hand on Ride's shoulder to steer him....somewhere]

As good a place as any. How long ago was that?

[ok ;; trails along on his crutch, his leg appears to be dragging mika style]

Uhh... shit, I don't know. I'm not the one who keeps track of that kind of thing. A while ago though.

[buddy

you've had a time]

Maybe I should start with what happened first...? I guess the plan to escape to Earth went through? Mika thought so, but...

[well, you know]

[I'm still walking wow I'm not remotely Mika levels]

Oh... [frowns] yeah. Nothing dramatic happened right away, but. Kudelia was... And is, pretty tireless...

- - oh shit! Atra had a baby and got married to Kudelia.

[grins]

Hooh? I knew about the baby. Married though, that's something else. How are they doing?

I don't really see them that much. They're good. Kudelia is really popular.

You ever meet the kid...?

Yeah. He looks just like Mika.

A boy, huh... Act just like him?

[here I am talking to Orga, who is right here, and so cool in the sunlight, I can tell him about!! everything!!!]

No way, he's really shy. Though I hear he's just shy around me.
