I don't know how else I'm supposed to refer to someone and their talking eyeball?

[psynchroneyes]

Like anybody else! Duh. She may be an AI, but she's still a friend.

[teenrebellion]

Excuse me for not being aware of your relationship with your eye. [ jeez. ] You've barely told me anything about this whole... situation. You can't expect me to just know things like that.

[ both of you?? he guesses?? ]

[psynchroneyes]

Well, no, but that's why I'm telling you...

[teenrebellion]

Yeah, now.

[ anyway he looks at aiba. ]

Is she actually letting you enjoy the party, or are you stuck here? Can you wander around on your own?

[psynchroneyes]

[ Aiba gives a curious flick of an ear ] Is that a sign I should leave you two on your own...?

[teenrebellion]

[ blinks. what. ]

I just figured you might want to explore while you can...? Can you even do this outside of VR?

[psynchroneyes]

[ ... aiba >:c ]

Normally she should be able to, but lately she can't...

[teenrebellion]

...I guess if they can block magic, then technology shouldn't be that hard to cut off, too.

[psynchroneyes]

[ sigh ]

Easier, probably.

[teenrebellion]

Probably.

[ which sucks! ]

If I were you, I'd have probably left as soon as I had a chance. I can't stand being stuck somewhere... but I guess you're probably used to it, huh?

[ this is an eye. where would she go. ]

[psynchroneyes]

—Hm? Well, yes. Perhaps not for weeks at a time, but it is where I spend most of my day. [ Aiba does, however, wiggle her little feeties. ] But it's nice to stretch my legs after this long.

[teenrebellion]

[ he watches this and probably decides that it's rude to ask any more questions about aiba's choice of physical form. hm. ]

I bet.

At least you can still talk to her when you're stuck. I'm almost jealous. Apparently Haze is supposed to be able to talk, but not they're restricted on the ship, too.

[psynchroneyes]

[ —? ]

Haze...?

[teenrebellion]

Mm. Charles-san and I have been looking after them for Sheba.

[psynchroneyes]

Oh. I... hadn't heard about it before.

[teenrebellion]

She said they were a Djinni, but I don't really know what that means, where she's from. [ shrugs. ] She had it with her a lot. You really didn't notice?

[ which sounds rude on the surface maybe but he's really just surprised? ]

[psynchroneyes]

—Wait, that little thing she carried around?

[ me crying somehow this never came up ]

[teenrebellion]

Ah. So you did see them. But she never introduced you...?

[psynchroneyes]

We only talked sometimes, so...

[teenrebellion]

[ right. ]

Well, I guess you're not missing a lot. Like I said, Haze can't talk here. They mostly just hang out and sleep... kind of like a cat?

[psynchroneyes]

Hmm... Maybe whatever comes along with us is only capable of talking to who brought it? Even back home, I'm the only one who hears Aiba when she's in my eyesocket, so that's not unusual.

[teenrebellion]

If that's the case, Sheba never mentioned it.

...It does make you look a little funny when you're talking to yourself in public, though.

[psynchroneyes]

[ To that, Aiba doesn't even try to hide the snicker she gives off. ]

Yeah, yeah, I know... Look, it's easy to slip up.

[teenrebellion]

[ aiba can have an amused grin for that. ]

Are you still trying to keep it a secret? It's not like anyone here will care.
