[OOM] The Dragonfly, Taris System.

[stuck_mynock]

Atton's sleeping when the first missile hits Taris' moon.

It's far away, just off in the distance, but the force of it makes the ship shake anyway, waking Atton up.

"Took them long enough," he mumbles, getting out of bed. It's been another twelve hours, so he'd like to think the toxin is mostly gone by now.

"Oh aye, 'opefully splittin' up will make this next bit go quicker."

[guppy_sandhu]

"At least he won't grow while I'm away." Guppy says, with a weak smile at them both.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. S'good."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, glad we could be o'some use 'ere, Atton."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel guilty for getting into life threatening danger here." he says. "But at the same time, I'm glad I could help, and I know you two have my back, and I know Atton wouldn't have brought me here if he thought I was likely to die."

He passes the teacups around. "Besides which, if I've managed to get through all of this with only one panic attack, and that one being mostly under my control, maybe I'll come out of this trip more able to control them when I get home."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Don't worry, we'll keep you safe."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, an ye'll keep us in workin' order."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy smiles slightly.

"Teamwork."

He assumes he can control the flashbacks and freezing up moments too, given a little time. They're not as disabling as full blown panic attacks at any rate; for a start, they're over much quicker.

Pause.

"Gummy bears." Atton says, wandering off with them.

[will_scarlett]

Will grins and laughs, "Ye're na goin' to share, Atton?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"I'm serious about not eating the plastic."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"But I want it," Atton says. "All the gummy bears. Also, the plastic."

[will_scarlett]

"Canna I na 'ave just one?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"And hang on a minute, I brought the gummy bears, can I please have at least a few?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You are cruel, you steal all my gummby bears. They're not for you!" Atton protests.

Pause. He very sulkily holds out the packet.

[will_scarlett]

Will's closer so he grabs it and rips it open before handing it to Guppy.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Thanks." Guppy takes a handful and passes them back to Will.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Mean," Atton protests, sulkily.

[will_scarlett]

"Na mean just sharin'."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Eh, you'll get over it." Guppy says, eating his gummy bears before Atton can forcegrab them or something.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I hate you," Atton protests.

[will_scarlett]

Will goes to find something alcoholic and brings one out for Atton,

"'ere, will get ye more sugar soon."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Hey, we can't train if you two are under the influence."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"It is you who is under the influence!" Atton protests.

[will_scarlett]

"We've fought 'fore an 'onestly just a beer doesna make much difference."
