[ Adaine doesn't have much experience with beach parties. But the idea of relaxing on a sunny strip of sand felt like something she would want to try— especially if her other option is more forced interaction at the café.

So, here she is, sunglasses on, lounging on a towel underneath a large umbrella. ]

I'm sure we're all glad that that mission is over.

[ Or, maybe it's just her, and she's projecting. ]

I'm taking suggestions for your perfect beach snack. I've not spent much time on beaches, and I want to make sure I'm doing this right. What should I have with me, to make the experience perfect?

[ She'll sign off there, but people are free to comment and suggest snacks for her to try. Or, they're welcome to come find her and hang out on the beach in person as well! ]

[ Screw not already being at the beach with Adaine!!! GORGUG IS ALREADY AT THE BEACH WITH ADAINE!!! In a very suitable short-sleeved hoodie and shorts. Look, it's like he took off half his usual dress for this! ]

Is there food that isn't okay on the beach?

[ The question....they didn't think about! ]

Re: action

[ Adaine has her jean jacket off, neatly folded off in a corner of the town space, and a pair of sunglasses on, through which she is observing the beach goings-on. ]

Well, yeah. I mean, you wouldn't eat a full Moonar Yulenear dinner at the beach, would you?

[ She raises a hand to pull her shades down, so she can level a Knowing Glance at Gorgug over the frames. ]

Did I see you holding hands with a companion bot over there?

[tinflower]

[ Wouldn't he, Adaine? Gorgug needs to consider this (and it's obvious he is--it's also obvious that he doesn't hate the idea of eating a full Moonar Yulenear dinner like, right now). But he doesn't actually get to the reasoning portion of that thought before he's hit by.

The Look. And what comes with it, too. ]

I-- [ He starts, instantly defensive, already a grimace drawn on his face. ] I wasn't holding hands, it-- Fabian already gave me shit over it.

[ And Gorgug doesn't think Adaine's about to give him shit about it, but he's just deflated over the interaction. Defeated. Moonar Yulenear dinners on the beach can't help this. ]

[furiousfists]

[ She grins impishly, and pushes the shades back into place. ]

I'm not giving you shit! I think it's cute.

[ There will be a problem if the bots turn out not to be trustworthy, but then again, maybe Gorgug having an "in" will help them in that eventuality. ]

What's their name? [ ... ] Do they have names? I haven't thought to ask.

[tinflower]

[ He chews on the inner side of his bottom lip, and--he knows Adaine won't judge him if she says she won't. She's more likely to tease him, which is embarrassing, but Gorgug can handle it better than whatever Fabian's deal is.

So he nods, somewhat at ease. ] They do. Their name is Deem. We met in that empty city--they're one of the bots that focuses on building and repairs, [ Gorgug explains. ] I was telling them-- I was thinking I should get a lab space, so I can study better.

... And I was looking at their hands 'cause I said I wanted to build bots like them.

[ Since, you know--Adaine remarked on the hand holding, and it was definitely that, okay!! ]

[furiousfists]

[ ]

I think a lab space would be a great idea! If you need help with spell components, I've stocked up on plenty. [ Although likely Gorgug's artificing wouldn't use the same sort of components that Adaine's spellcasting would. But you never know! ]

[tinflower]

Thanks. I liked putting our spells together to make the drone invisible. Even if it didn't last. [ Dumb and stupid Moorecroft.

Still! ] It'd be fun to do that again. You really helped me with the magic side.

[ And barbarian, too. But Adaine's multitalented: she's been helping him with both!! ]
