[Intellectually, he's aware humans do the relationship thing. He's seen his fellow BP units do so too, even. But himself? None of the humans of their world had ever sparked that kind of feeling. Neither had any other BP unit. Heck, he'd kept them all at arms' length as much as possible. Mando's probably the only living thing he's spoken to about that horrible defining moment of his life.]

[That counted for something, right? Maybe? He's also never felt so unsure of himself in his life.]

Is... that a bad thing?

[He pauses in his efforts. He's fairly certain Mando isn't upset by the change, but something makes him want to ask. Maybe it's the weird feelings fluttering through the room today.]

[singlespacedad]

No, not at all.

[Mando turns in his chair so he can meet Shadowmaru's eyes.]

I like it. You did a great job.

[sassymaru]

[And Shadowmaru immediately lights up. Like a Christmas tree. Like a spotlight.]

I... thought it would suit you very nicely.

[singlespacedad]

[And just like that, Mando lights up in response, the visible skin around his eyes crinkling as he swivels even further, so he's fully facing Shadowmaru.]

Good choices. It matches my new ship, back home.

[sassymaru]

[Oh... oh, well. That's - that's a very good expression on Mando. Even with the mask. He has to clear his throat, and push his hand through his hair to settle the sudden increase in pulse.]

Ah... I'm. Very happy to have helped.
