[cephalon]

Ordis does not mean that the Operator must inconvenience himself!

[Even if he does, selfishly, wish that.]

...and yes, Ordis has. Occasionally.

[tennohno]

Already making my way to the shuttle now.

[That doesn't give him any confidence over the situation.]

Occasionally? And how would you qualify things as occasional? I would hope everyday. [Ordis please don't say no.]

[cephalon]

Operator, you do not need to worry yourself with Ordis.

[Yes you do. Worry a lot.]

Ordis has been sleeping when absolutely physically necessary.

[tennohno]

I don't need to but I want to. I'm allowed to do so.

[It's hard to hide the irritation leaking into his tone.]

That doesn't mean keep going till you pass out. You're supposed to get sleep every night. I don't even want to know what your eating habits are like now.

[cephalon]

That is true. Ordis cannot stop the Operator from doing whatever the Operator wishes.

[Literally. But he grows a bit indignant at the chiding, even if the tenno is actually somewhat correct.]

Ordis rests when this body requires rest. And eats when it requires that.

[tennohno]

[Definitely wasn't going to be stopped over rectifying this situation. He sighs heavily because frustration wasn't going to make the situation any better.]

You know your body requires a minimum amount of calories per day to function properly, right? The same goes for sleep. You're going to wind up hurting yourself if you aren't careful.

[cephalon]

Ordis is aware.

[He's certainly not dense after all, just inexperienced in the actual application.

This body has been equipped with proper nutritional needs and Ordis is sleeping at times.

[tennohno]

Look you know I'm worried. Not trying to say you're stupid or anything, ok? Just inexperienced and I rather see you stay ok than not.

[cephalon]

Operator...

[That's actually rather touching, if he's willing to admit that to himself.]

Please do not put yourself through undue stresses for Ordis though.

[tennohno]

You're the only worthwhile stress I have right now if you really qualify as a stress in the first place. Where am I going once I dock?

[cephalon]

Operator.

[There's a bit more sternness in his tone, but he's not one to go against the Operator's wishes.]

I...there are directions to the bedding quarters posted.

[tennohno]

Ordis.

[Look at that. Two can play at that game, cephalon.]

Thank you. I'll be there shortly I hope.

[cephalon]

Operator.

[And only one can win.]

I will see to it that you are let aboard with little trouble.

[Which is a little easier said than done, but in the end the way is perfectly clear for the tenno to make his way onboard.]

[tennohno]

[To think this duo was an advanced ship AI and a trained warrior would be absurd if someone merely saw them trying to outmatch over simply saying each other's names.]

Ordis.

[The layouts of the ships were certainly something that he would need to get the hang of but for now he'll settle for the directions that Ordis gave him. Sleeping quarters, easy enough. He posts himself outside of the area in order to await for the one who actually lived on this vessel rather than simply barging in.]

[cephalon]

[Far from him to question the Operator's sense of direction, though admittedly a few arcwing extractions did leave some wondering, but it seems that the tenno is taking far longer than he'd have thought. Which is strange. Had the Operator gotten lost? Or not come at all? No that's rubbish, of course he had.

But the longer that he takes, the more antsy that Ordis becomes, and eventually it's too much. He ventures out, trying to see if he can spot anyone that's not a part of his fellow crew.]

[tennohno]

[The tenno merely rests against the opposite wall and tries to stay out of the way of anyone that goes by. It was the least that he can do since this wasn't his ship let alone he didn't want to bring more attention to himself than he actually desired.

However he perks up at the appearance of the cephalon, pushing off the wall in order to approach him. Why did he look nervous? Did something happen?]

I thought I would've seen you sooner.

[cephalon]

[Oh, oh wait no, he's here. The Operator is here and that takes a load off of his shoulders. Of course the Operator would show, how silly of him to worry.

Even if it would have been completely within the tenno's right to. This is terribly selfish of him, making the Operator come all this way.

Still, he straightens the best he can and offers a weak smile, ushering the man in.]

I apologize Operator, it has been too long.

[tennohno]

[It's relieving to finally find the cephalon that he was looking for but he wasn't prepared for how haggard the man appeared. A frown promptly appears as he surveys the rest of his appearance.

Still it was nice that the other was glad to see him.]

It's fine. I know how to wait. You look exhausted though.

[cephalon]

Ordis should not make the Operator wait, however. Ordis should come quickly for the Operator, in case anything were to happen.

[Does he look haggard? He'd like to think that he hides it well; apparently not well enough though.]

I am sufficent, thank you. How are you, Operator?

[tennohno]

One of us is a lot more prepared for threats than the other thanks to your new body. Haste isn't always needed regardless.

[The room isn't bad. Definitely much better than those he's seen on Grineer ship so that was a step in the right direction. Everything was orderly much like he should expect from the cephalon.]

Sufficiently tired. Don't lie. I'm good. Been doing my duties and all but it's not the same. Besides my partner is on a separate ship after all.

[cephalon]

[Well, he's being called out already he really should have expected that. Still, he does his best to put up a good front for the Operator. No need to let him know how close to correct he was.]

Ordis is functioning. Ordis should be assistingt the Operator, though. Being aboard a ship, even separate ships, is disconcerting.

[tennohno]

[He rolls his eyes and shakes his head because this was a waste of his time to have the cephalon avoiding the point. Still he wasn't going to get frustrated. The tenno remains calm and rests a hand on the other's shoulder.]

Ordis, please. You're not in trouble for being tired so stop avoiding the issue. And the ship issue can be handled.

[cephalon]

It is very strange, to be a ship on a ship.

[Nope, still avoiding the issue just a bit.]

[tennohno]

[His hand is removed in order to rub the bridge of his nose with a sigh. He should've expected this.]

You know I care far too much for you to be trying to fake being alright when you're obviously not. However fine. If you want to believe you are, then continue to do so.

[Onto investigating the rest of the room in order to not focus on the aggravation.]

It's weird I'm sure.

[cephalon]

[Ouch, that's a bit backhanded, and it effectively kowtows him right away. He does have the right of mind to look a bit put in his place, and he sighs, shrinking in on himself.]

Ordis apologizes, Operator.
