Aoba didn’t even know how to take that reaction. It didn’t feel bad, but it did feel…complicated. Aoba stood in place for a little while after the Guardian had gone out of sight into the bunkroom, squeezing his hands in troubled fists.

Ren sat at his feet, looking up at him with a steady expression. After a sigh of his own, Aoba picked him up and returned to the cockpit, sitting back in the seat which he presumed would have been the co-pilot’s, had someone of the appropriate skills been present. There were those bolted seats by the kitchen area, sure, but this one had the better view.
“I don’t know if I’m an idiot or what,” he murmured to his companion, fingers buried in dark fur.
After a low sigh of his own, Ren answered, “I do not believe ‘idiocy’ is the problem in any way, but I do believe this is proof that it is unwise to let your other side control your actions without mediation. Desires are not meant to be freely indulged. Now you are dealing with the consequences of such.”
And here we go again, went the background mutterings.
