Ethan looked in fascination at the insects. "They don't eat your leaves, then?" He asked. "Normally I'd think of insects being parasites to plants, but I guess you wouldn't allow parasites to stick around very long."

~~
Asher looked amused. He knew he was being a bit silly, but he didn't really care.
"Of course," he agreed, "I'd insist on paying him too. People are far, far too generous around here sometimes."

Hewitt shook his head. "These ones eat those who try to hurt us. We protect them, they protect us. It works well."

--

Kay nodded. [Very much so. I still owe Starr for that omnicom.] Oops?

"What do they eat out here then? I assume you don't bring parasitic insects along just to feed the beneficial ones," Ethan said. "I can't imagine there are enough insects on Vestia, for example, to feed them."

~~
Asher chuckled. "And I still owe her for two pendants. Eventually we'll be able to repay her for everything she's done for us. Might take a while, but at least she's patient." At least he'd repaid her for buying him. That had been by far his least favorite of his debts.

Hewitt shrugged. "they seem to get along just fine. There are insects out there in the guild and a lot of them eat other things as well. You'd be surprised how varied insect diets can be. " He leaned over almost conspiratorially "Sometimes I give them sugar though." He laughed.

---

Kay nodded. [I suppose debt is just part of being family though. The amount of times i've bailed Matt out. You do it because you care about them, and I fully accept he'll never actually pay me back. Still, at some point i'll be able to repay Starr, perhaps not monetarily, but with something. I know she doesn't expect me to, but it's a matter of principle and pride.] he smiled softly. [I'm sure I don't have to explain that to you though.] After all, that's why Asher wanted to pay her back too right?

Ethan looked amused. "They're like your pets or something. Have your met the Swarm who lives on this ship yet? Supposedly they eat knowledge. I really don't know how that works."

~~
Asher smiled back. "I understand completely. It may not be required by law, but it just doesn't feel right to not try and make things even."

Sawna smiled at that and came back out, looking to Vestia's cameras happily. Yep, she liked the idea of having a cafe here

Vestia's lights turned a happy yellow color at Sawna's smile. "I think this will be very good for the ship," she told Sawna cheerfully.

Tala headed with Sawna toward the library to raid the cookbooks.

Sawna followed Tala to the library, going to the cookbooks to start paging through them curiously. After a few pages, she had to get up and find some paper and a pencil to write down recipes she wanted to keep

Hewitt laughed. "pets? No, nothing so twee. But they are a part of me and I prefer to treat them well and have them continue to sustain me. Besides, so long as i'm out here far from home, we've only got each other." He tilted his head. "I haven't met a great number of the crew here yet no. A Swarm? The hive minds? Ahh yes, I encountered one in the archive, is it yours? Though i'm not sure how you could tell, they all look rather the same. A Swarm and a rather cheerful fellow with horns who never stopped talking. "

Tala found a book with a picture of a cup of espresso on the cover and tried to read that. She mostly couldn't make sense of it, but it had some helpful illustrations at least. "I never knew what a complicated process this was," she said. "They require the flattening of the grounds of coffee."

~~
Ethan nodded. That made sense to him.
"I don't know if it was ours or not. Was it almost in disagreement with itself sometimes? Ours is a bit... strange," he said. "They're often here on this ship, but they like to go explore too, I think."

"Disagreement? No, this one seemed generally ill tempered and abrupt." Hewitt laughed. "A little like you my friend." He smiled fondly.

Sawna chuckled softly at that "Yes, that does sound like it could become complicated quickly, we may have to check that one out for a while to make a grocery list from it."

Ethan snorted at that remark. "Probably not ours, then. Ours is friendly, mostly." He looked amused, "Or maybe you turn pleasant people ill tempered. I don't know."

~~
Tala nodded. "This is going to be a most complicated project. Perhaps it is wisest to begin with simple poured coffee and with donuts."

Hewitt laughed. "You wouldn't be the first to claim as such." He wandered over to a chair and stiffly settled into it, sighing in relief as he took the weight off his feet.

Sawna chuckled and nodded "Maybe, but I would like to experiment, after all, I am awake when most are asleep so I have plenty of 'alone' time."

Tala nodded. "That is true. I suppose you'll be able to master a lot while everyone sleeps." She looked at the shelves again, then over at the librarian's desk. "The librarian has vanished," she proclaimed, "I do hope that he has set up one of those places to scan books ourselves."

~~
Ethan smiled oddly. "I guess I'm not. You look tired," he added.

Hewitt nodded. "I'm nearing the end of my life cycle, things... slow down. Expending energy on walking and talking becomes more taxing. " He smiled. "Don't worry about me young android, i'll be just fine. I'm not going to leave this life without a fight let me tell you." He chuckled and relaxed into the chair, closing his eyes. "If you see Amity, let him know i'm resting will you. He'll fret. " Another laugh. "Yes, they programmed them to fret and worry about their guests. I'll have to talk to that felid about that charging dock too soon. But not now." He rested his head on the back of the chair, roots and leaves spread around him, swaying slightly as if in a light breeze.

Sawna chuckled and looked to the desk as well "Maybe he did, maybe not." She shrugged a little and went back to copying recipes from multiple books.

Ethan nodded. "I'll tell him if I see him." After a moment he added, "Come back to the library sometime, suggest some better astrophysics books for me to order."
Then he hastily left because he was being too friendly to this guy, and headed back toward his domain.

~~
Tala busily tried to read the book on making espresso. What? She was curious.

Hewitt smiled and managed a vague nod to Ethan. He liked that robot he decided, mmm, maybe he should have studied programming after all. He fell asleep, sitting upright, bathing in the glow of the growlamps.

Tala really, really wasn't much of a reader. The pictures helped, and she was able to sound out some of the words okay. SHe felt like since she had helped Sawna think up this business venture, the least she could do was help.

Ethan returned to the library, and went to shelve those books that the professor had pulled out. He spotted Sawna and Tala, and carefully kept himself from groaning at the sight of the minotaur. Not AGAIN.
"Can I help you with anything?" he asked Sawna, coming over to see what they were looking at.

Ethan looked interested. "You found what you were looking for, then?" He hadn't spent much time looking at the cookbooks. He wasn't sure how good the selection was.
