"Take that out in the snow and I'd have you picked out in a second. Rain too. Or, have you thought of a way around that yet?" Noticing that his amigo seemed a little jumpy he pulled his hand back and replaced it on the tabletop. "You seem a little more twitchy than usual, the attack put you on edge or you just pushing the coffee a little too hard for the all nighters this took to make?"
A short pause was spared for him to laugh good naturedly at his own quip. "Ah, no, not the one you're thinking of. Though things there are good. This is an entirely different place, actual planet with a sky and only one sun...I think." Come to think of it he didn't ever check if it had an abnormal astrology. Oh well, he shrugged and resigned to look next time he was there. "Anyway its more normal is more point. Kinda reminds me of Celadon, it drags in people from all over with no rhyme or reason. Only worse, makes this place look sane...and you know its bad when I say that."
He shook his head, breaking from his forward facing posture and placing hands on hips for a much more leisurely looking appearance. "Sucks to hear about the boredom, but I'm sure you got some action this attack, and in those strange circumstances. Have to tell me about them when I get back."
With all the chitchat out of the way he moved onto the topic that brought him here in the first place, the space rock. "I recall you had a pretty neat sword not long before I took off. Well, I haven't shot my mouth off about it to anyone else yet, but I intend to have a gun made in the same category. So there you go, you heard it here first."
