[Zoe stands behind him with a smirk.]

It's like watching a kid with a new toy.

[ensign_in_love]

Bigger toys for bigger kids, right?

[mechaotaku]

[She shrugs.]

Never said that was a bad thing, but still.

[She crosses her arms.]

What's this about knocking the beam rifle?

[ensign_in_love]

I put in the custom data a rail gun, not a beam rifle. I feel weird with a weapon in my hand that doesn't have much kick back.

It is a pretty big beam rifle though.

[mechaotaku]

Yeah, but you're used to being clunky and honestly with some of the things we've been up against, that isn't going to help. I don't want you scratching up this guy too badly too. Trust me, you'll get used to it. I'm pretty sure you'll like the nice big boy gun better.

[ensign_in_love]

Nah, I'm pretty sure that I'll always like a machine gun over even a auto fire beam spray. I guess it's just that uh, what was it? 'Old school' thing about me.

As for scratching him up... well... I'm not gonna make any promises I can't keep. I've got a pretty bad rep for that kind of thing...

[mechaotaku]

Yeah, I know.

[ensign_in_love]

Haha... with parents like me and Aina I wonder if she'll grow up interested in these kind of things too.

[mechaotaku]

[She pauses and blinks.]

Huh?

[ensign_in_love]

... 'huh' what?

[mechaotaku]

What are you talking about? Aina who? She who? Pare--

Wait.

YOU'RE A DAD?!!

[ensign_in_love]

Huh!? Well, not yet, technically!

Actually when do I end up being considered a dad? It's not 'til they're born, right?
