He realizes that cats sleep on basically any surface, right?

[ That's like, Cat 101. Put a book down, they'll sleep on it. Get up from a chair, they're asleep on it when you get back. Can't find them? They're probably sleeping in that tight space between the dresser and the wall.

Wash glances down at the...admittedly very full basket of cat items in his hand and, to his credit, is only mildly embarrassed to have it pointed out. Yes, it's a lot of cat stuff, but he has cats!! Cats need stuff, and this has been his first opportunity to get them these things. ]

Only three. But I figured I might as well stock up while there's an actual opportunity and it's not on my dime.

Oh, I'm sure he does. He just takes great pleasure in being a prick to me.

[ ah, cousinly love. but the longer they talk, the clearer it is that wash is profoundly different from the last time they spoke. miles tilts his head at wash in casual curiosity. ]

So, what've you been up to? I hear you finally got out of Waste Disposal.

[hatesimprovising]

I've known a few people like that in my time.

[ Of course, most of the prickishness had only been teasing, but that doesn't stop a prick from being a prick. Not that he should be thinking things like that about dead friends.

The head tilt doesn't escape Wash's notice, and he's plenty aware of the fact that people have been picking up on the sudden lack of his old, horrible, dorky behaviour. Even if they'd only interacted the once, he's betting it hasn't slipped past Miles, either. ]

Fortunately. Six months in there was too long. I got moved to Ingress Security not long ago. It's a little more my speed. [ He gives a vague gesture with his head. ] Aside from that, I've been weathering the same bullshit everyone else has whenever we stop somewhere.

[ Plus having a major mental breakdown and then going in to cryo and thinking he went home for two years without actually leaving the unit. But those details aren't important to anyone but himself. ]
