Syndulla Scrap, Thursday

[chirpchirpchirp]

See, Vette was supposed to be going through the scrap now that it was more or less back to normal and cataloging bits for future reference.

Supposed to be.

But the bitey bits were talking! Talking! And one in particular was a little more rusted than the others, and it came right up to Vette, babbling in broken Basic about what pieces of scrap it wanted to chew on the most, and really, if it was going to ask, she was hardly going to deny it.

"Okay, Rusty, so what's your faaavourite kind?"

"Copper! Copper!" There was a long pause, and then it added, "please."

"Awwww, someone's been teaching you manners! You can have extra copper just for that!"

Positive reinforcement! That was good, right?

Vette. Vette.

Please hold as Nina got up to mutter to herself, in a few separate languages, waving her hands as she worked her way through that.

"But hooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww?????????????????" she wailed, finally, coming to a stop in front of Vette. "That doesn't even make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I told you," Vette replied, shrugging, "you'd have to ask one of them. The one I know best is Lana. But you saw how easy it was for the Dean to pick us up, back there. Like nothing."

Anakin was kind of a special case, Vette.

"I mean, realistically, from a weight perspective, none of us weigh that much," Nina mused. "And, like, Bus Dean is fit. He could probably physically pick all three of us up at least briefly with a similar lack of effort."

Nina hadn't yet hit a hundred pounds and Vette was tinier than she was and Prompto wasn't exactly a big, bulky sort of guy……….

"Magically, we wouldn't be that hard to pick up, I shouldn't think…………. though the lack of effort and instantaneous ability to do so is a little more troubling……………"

"And Bus Driver," Vette pointed out. "All the way from Caritas."

So... really, he was no slouch, there.

"Apparently while yelling at him telepathically?"

Nina was doing so much frowning. If she hadn't been such a lady she'd be swearing.

(She was doing so much swearing internally.)

"Vette… Vette, we agreed to help get revenge on him. As part of the terms for our club house."

[chirpchirpchirp]

"Yeeeeup," Vette agreed, drawling out that 'e' and popping that 'p.' "But hey, at least he's not allowed to kill us."

There were just, you know, so many other things he could do instead.

………………

That was less of a comfort than it had been.

"We need to, like, look at what the teachers are allowed to do to students. Office break in, definitely, going to have to do that???????????? I bet the moose knows where the records are……………….."

Vette shrugged dismissively.

"Hey, if the worst he did after the bus is make us clean it, I'm not too worried. Did you know he took me to the mainland for paintball after the time we stole bus driver's ship? He seems like he's not a bad guy. Just... also cranky."
