"I'm sorry you had to kill the robot Eliott. I was hopeful that it would just be a simple exploration mission and that we wouldn't encounter anything. Is there anything I can do or get you to help you deal with this right now?"

He'd offer taking a deep breath. They were back, but they were still his team. And if she was really that upset about the robots being destroyed he was going to try and take it seriously. It was clearly important to her. Mark's question took him by surprise. It really should have been the first thing any of them had asked. But in the heat of the moment...

"No. I'm fine. Are you?"

If Mark was asking maybe he was hurt!

"I'll be fine with some time to reflect." she answers Eric before glancing at Mark.

"I'm not inured."

"Uninjured."

More or less.

"This was my first successful bodyguarding assignment."

He's so pleased, he gives the tiniest of smiles, barely lifting the corners of his mouth.

"You both were amazing. Really."

He'd say with a nod.

"And Eliott. I owe you that banner."

"Well done." Eliott says somewhat quietly.

Wow actual praise!

She looks towards Eric and tries to act like she doesn't care.

"If you really have to."

Mark drinks in the compliments with a silent nod.

Reveling in it.

Secretly.

"Us three might just make the best team in Paradigm. Team Intelligence!"

He'd laugh and put his hand out in the center of the three of them!

"Tch." she rolls her eyes but puts her hand in.

"Team intel..."

Friendship rituals. Pah.

Mark doesn't understand at all, and it shows on his face as he awkwardly tries to copy this hand-motion thing.

When all the hands were in the center he'd lift them up!

Go team!

Eliott just looks away like she's embarrassed of this entire thing and wishes she was somewhere else.

"I should retire to my room..."

Mark's hand just stays where it is, still in the center, as he hadn't realized he was supposed to lift it.

Then he just... stands normally.

"If you need me to fill anything in tomorrow, just send me an email." Eliott offers, but starts walking away back to her pod.

Which is also Mark's pod but she's fairly confident he can make it back without getting lost.

So considerate.

Yet Mark hangs back for a moment, turning to look at Eric.

"I have a question."

"I don't understand how people act with each other."

Mark pauses, considering how best to phrase his actual question.

"How are romantic relationships formed?"

What a strange question. Or way to phrase it.

"Are you asking for dating advice?"

He didn't even know Mark was into that. He was pretty... monotone.

"Yes?"

Maybe that's the term he's supposed to use.

"I don't know how to show interest in beginning.... dating."

"Well you can flirt. Just playfully tease, initiate physical contact. Though..."

That might be to much for him?

"You could just ask whoever you are interested out on a date. Ya know?"

Tease.

Physical contact.

Mark makes mental notes of all these things.

"Does flirting come before dating?"

"Before. During. And hopefully afterwards. My parents are still really lovey and touchy. My Dad always says that you should never stop dating your wife."

He'd shrug.

"So who caught your eye?"

Flirt always.

Another mental note.

"Caught my eye?"

What a curious phrase.

"I find myself interested in Eliott."

Don't ask him to explain why.
