Mike grins at Keshin. "It's all right, love, I reckon a decent bath will help with that. Are you gonna eat some bloody chips or not?" He offers the plate of food again. "Man, taste is great an' all, but you should've seen Corliss the first time he got to me old flat. I reckoned he'd never stop inspecting my bloody tablecloth. It was like he'd seen all this stuff before, all these battles and space and maths and stuff, but bleeding plaid like, broke 'is brain or something. I swear he's OCD."
He eyes Fox, barking a laugh. "Christ, mate, you know Corliss is going to hear you call 'im weak when 'e gets back in here." He taps the side of his head idly. "Anyway, they're only weak in appearance. Yeerks are quite a lot of brainpower in that little body." He finds himself pulling the tupperware container closer to him, away from Fox and Joanne, now that he's pretty much done with the fish and chips.
Mike looks over at the newcomer, sitting too far away for him to say a proper hello, and just feels even more weirded out. Too many unknown people, and too long being suspicious of unknown people.
((No worries Luke, it's probably much healthier that you actually have a life, unlike me (at the moment) XD))
