Let me guess: that 'backwater system' is Earth, yeah?

[tensecondsahead]

Exactly.

[lionson]

Well, thank you for protecting my home.

[tensecondsahead]

I'd say I'm just doing my job, but I'm kind of attached to the place. I've got a local who works for me, and he's a good kid.

[lionson]

Ah? A newbie?

[He definitely said 'kouhai' there.]

[tensecondsahead]

Yeah, he just joined up a few months ago. He's still got a lot of learn, but he's going to be just fine. All my subordinates are good people, but Kokonose's the kind of person who inspires everyone around him. He's been a real asset to his division.

[Maple I'm not looking up Japanese terms at work to figure out how autotranslating from alien works but he's absolutely using "I am his boss" language there.]

[lionson]

[Hydok, not weeb enough for the animes]

That's good to hear. Hopefully he doesn't burn out from the work. A good heart is hard to come by.

[tensecondsahead]

He won't. [That's said with absolute determination, like Laine knows for sure.]

Besides, he's really got a thing for his senpai. [look maple I can weeb too]

[lionson]

...he's got a thing for you?

[He assumes Laine is the senpai.]

[tensecondsahead]

[Laine laughs.]

No, not me. There's a girl in his division who won't admit she likes him, and he's totally in love with her.

[lionson]

Ah. He's fallen for a tsundere? Poor kid.

[tensecondsahead]

That's exactly it. She's the type of person who blushes really cutely while saying things like "don't you dare think I wanted to have anything to do with you!"

But he's a good kid, and she's at least as in love with him as he is with her, so I'm sure it's going to work out eventually.

[lionson]

It's always good when kids fall in love like that. Youthful crushes are adorable like that.

[tensecondsahead]

They really are. I never had time for that kind of thing when I was growing up, but it's been fun watching them.

[lionson]

And when you get old, you gotta force yourself to make time for it. Ah, the trappings of adulthood.

[tensecondsahead]

If I'm lucky, I'll get set up with an arranged marriage. I don't have time to go back home and meet someone.

[lionson]

Maybe you should meet a hot alien babe here. Maybe Alex is free for romancing.

[tensecondsahead]

I'm not really interested in aliens. A lot of people don't mind, but there are always a lot of complications when you date someone from another planet.

[lionson]

Weren't you saying you wanted to get pinned down by Vezda?

[tensecondsahead]

I said it wasn't as much of a threat as she was making it out to be. I wouldn't mind it, but that's not the kind of long-term relationship I'm looking for.

[lionson]

What kind of long-term relationship are you looking for, then?

[Shiro, eternal matchmaker.]

[tensecondsahead]

Oh? Are you going to set me up with someone here?

[lionson]

Maybe~ What's your type, Laine?

[tensecondsahead]

Well... [is this serious consideration or just Serious Consideration] he'd have to be smart enough to keep up with me, but still think I'm cool. He'd need to be a good fighter, I don't want to have to watch his back. If he's rich, that would be even better. And he has to like kids.

[lionson]

[1: Shiro absolutely sees what Laine is doing. U fukken troll.

2: Time to roll with this shit.]

I think I might know someone who fits all of those, actually!
