--me on, Cambot! You're not gonna show anyone, are you?

[Suddenly, the video shakes back and forth violently, and the voice just off-screen sighs in relief.]

Okay. But I'm trusting you, pal. No funny business.

[Though it seems a little strange at first, the feed does eventually turn upwards to the Lombax's bed, focusing in on--

Not a Lombax, but a human boy. He tries flopping himself onto the bed, but without his tail for proper balance, he succeeds more at falling off the edge of the mattress miserably than anything else. Cambot spins around to the other side of the bed, veering down upon the boy until a gloved hand comes up to swat it away.]

Ehh, well, it could be worse. I could be a pony or something.

Says you! You're used to being this bald!

[punsofiron]

[What is with you animal types and baldness?]

And you're used to being this fuzzy!

[guardiano_perduto]

You're more attractive when you're fuzzy!

[punsofiron]

...

Thanks? [That's a new one.]

[guardiano_perduto]

Take it as a compliment, alright?

[punsofiron]

Well, it's better than being called a gorilla, I guess.

[guardiano_perduto]

Why would I ever wanna do that?

[punsofiron]

Wouldn't be the first time. But I guess you never got to meet Falco.

[guardiano_perduto]

Falco? ...uh. Do I wanna meet him?

[punsofiron]

Probably not, unless you LIKE flailing blue birds insulting you as a part-time job.

[guardiano_perduto]

Hey, I deal with Qwark on a daily basis! I'm sure he's not as bad.

[punsofiron]

I'm sure he'd have taken that as a challenge.

[guardiano_perduto]

Alright, where is he? 'Cause I think I'm about due for a challenge anyway!

[punsofiron]

[...oh.

Liz looks a little sheepish.] I honestly don't know. He hasn't been seen on the satellite in months.

[guardiano_perduto]

[...well okay that kind of killed his mood.]

People leaving here is pretty common, huh.

[punsofiron]

[sorry]

Seems like it.

[guardiano_perduto]

You're still in one piece! That's all that should matter, huh?

[punsofiron]

[She gives him a Look for that.]

--did I say something weird?
