Usually Farfarello would have snarked that the mindbreaker spent a lot of the time swanning around upset about various things but didn’t want to rock the boat when it looked like the telepath’s tender emotions would work in his favor. Besides, having Crawford and the mindbreaker have makeup sex in the next apartment might spur and inspire his kitten to greater heights.
Instead Farfarello answered, ~ Enjoy the making up and try to make it last as long as possible. ~
~ I fully intend to. Ta! ~
~ See you later. Much later. ~
“You’re so generous,” Aya said.
“I’m renowned for my generosity,” Farfarello answered.
“I’m sure that’s not what you’re renowned for.”

He didn’t have any shots of Schuldig sunbathing or swimming nude that one day since those images had burned into his retinas. Besides, Crawford’s mother already had unseemly perverted thoughts about Schuldig and didn’t need encouragement. (The horror.)
It put Nagi in the odd position of being protective of Schuldig. For sexual stuff! Because he didn’t think Schuldig would be able to handle one particular woman who wanted to get into his pants! It was *ludicrous*.

“Maybe we should get home on our own instead of waiting for Crawford and Schuldig to arrive in a different car.”
“The mindbreaker said there might be people hunting us.”
“So we walk around while keeping full awareness of our surroundings.” At least they didn’t look bloody enough to catch the attention of innocent passersby. “We should be able do that; we’re *assassins*.”
Farfarello laughed. “I can’t argue with that.”

Ok, putting the jet engine on top didn’t work. Maybe we should try something different.
… why did we think that would work? Forget that idea.

JE: the floor is now open to suggestions and refinements on our strategy.
KV: WHAT STRATEGY?
JE: that would be one of the points of soliciting suggestions, karkat.
KM: Is This Normally How You Conduct Warfare, Fleet Captain
JE: personal names are fine, kanaya. yes it is. me personally. i can’t speak for my species but i am influenced by my upbringing!
KM: I Am More Than A Little Concerned Then

KM: I Have Had My Share Of Experience Attempting To Mediate Our Cohort Alone And It Seems To Me That The Addition Of Humans And The Myriad Relationships We Have Developed Will Not Simplify Anything
JE: > oh! let me clarify then.
JE: the floor is open to suggestions and comments. at the end of this planning session we’re still going to do exactly whatever the hell i say, okay?
JE: that is a rhetorical question by the way. the answer is yes. period.

John cheerily claps his hands once and looks around at everyone. “Karkat, Equius, Dave, and Vriska. Pre-emptively: shut up. Primary mission objective is determining if Pyrope is alive and her current location, same as it always was. If anyone lets this vid make them depressed, cynical, or sadistically happy I will smack the shit out of them and restrict them to the ship. We didn’t know much when we launched and we still don’t know much. That’s why we’re going to go ask a few questions!” John is the fucking master of the cheerful grin that very quietly suggests he will tear your spine out if he has to.

At least John has it under control when he actually takes command. You’re still watching, of course. If he stumbles, you’ll be there to prop him up. FUCK that blueblood paranoia friends-are-enemies-waiting-to-happen shit. He is your gogdamn amigo and you still owe him a saved life or three. A supportive (angry, shouting) shoulder is just a fraction of that.
