A break from the break

[battorch]

Tim had returned to the ship for a time, wanting to get away from 'Happy Happy Fun World,' at least for a while. He might still return later, to make sure there was no trouble, but for the time being? He'd much rather be back on the ship.

After getting some rest (and probably sleeping longer than he had in a long time), he had, of course, returned to work. There was something nice about the opportunity to get some work done in relative silence, anyway.

First, as Red Robin, he had spent a bit of time in each of his departments, checking up on individual projects, seeing if there were loose ends he could tie up, or else new things he could work on, in the meantime. Even if it was supposed to be an extended break, he didn't really feel at ease if he thought there were things that could use working on.

And, eventually, he shed the costume in his room, and headed to Hydroponics. The closest thing to fresh air on the ship might be nice for the lingering headache he still had, if nothing else. He settled himself under a tree, a terminal in hand with a novel on it-- to switch to in case someone came to investigate what the shifty teen was looking at. Otherwise, he would be working on some work from programming, seeing if he could pick apart anything useful.

((ooc: Feel free to bother him as either Tim or as Red Robin-- he can basically be found anywhere as either, though he's prioritising his workplaces.))

Tim nods to the question, and smiles crookedly. "Not really my thing," he admits with a shrug. Then, he asks, "Why are you back so soon?"

"I uh..." She looks embarrassed. "I tried to smuggle a kitten home from Kittenworld. Two day ban. Apparently it happens often enough to be considered a minor offense."

Tim can't help it-- he lets out a soft laugh to that, and smiles gently to her. "Couldn't resist the temptation?" he asks, a hint of teasing in his voice. Then, he says, "At least you didn't get in too much trouble."

"They were SO CUTE." she sighed wistfully. "I had to try. Maybe the next time we stop somewhere that SELLS animals I'll get a pet to keep on the ship. It would be nice to have a dog or a cat."

Tim chuckles again, and nods to her. "You never know, right? A few people have managed to pick up pets here and there, so I'm sure you can find something eventually." He frowns, then says, "There were goldfish on the planet but..."

"Not a fish person?" M'gann smiled, wrapping her arms around her knees. "They aren't exactly 'cuddly' even if they are really pretty huh?"

[battorch]

"I guess not," Tim replied with a weak laugh. "On either account-- I've never really done the 'pets' thing. I'm sure you'll find something, though."

"Companion animals aren't for everyone." M'gann shrugged, shifting to rest her head on her knees. After a moment she nudged her chin at Tim's omnicomm.

"What are you working on, or is it top secret?"

[battorch]

"Asking for a Bat-dog wasn't high on my priority list," Tim conceded with a smile.

"Not so top secret, no," he said, shrugging. "Looking over some programming stuff, mostly. Making sure I haven't missed anything I could use."
