[Pajamas and clean sheets are nice, but so are fuzzy bedmates. Either way, stretching out and getting ready for bed in this corner of Big House.]

[rolling and flopping around anyway. this body is fun while it lasts, though I miss things like fingers and legs]

[yellowhasthechest]

You know, I still can't figure out how you manage to get along without legs.

I mean, not having thumbs tripped me up, but at least I had proper feet.

[silverspotlight]

You learn to move adequately with experience. [flops his tail helpfully]

I'm a lot more graceful in water, apparently.

[yellowhasthechest]

They swim?

[silverspotlight]

Yup! That's how seals eat.

[yellowhasthechest]

Huh. Earth animals are crazy.

[Come on, you tube of fur, onto the bed you go.]

[silverspotlight]

[shuffling under the sheets ungracefully] Yeah, but at least I'm not a platypus.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Fluffing up pillows.]

What's a platypus?

[silverspotlight]

You've seen ducks, right? [popping his head out from the cover and scooting over for you]

That beak, and a fluffy animal kind of body and head, but with poison claws and a tail like a rudder. Use the computer to look it up sometime.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Trying to picture this in her head, pauses while she's climbing under the sheets.]

How did your planet manage to get something to evolve into that?

[silverspotlight]

I have no clue! But we did something right, if we evolved in the same way you guys did. Right?

[yellowhasthechest]

Strictly speaking it's probably because the living conditions on our planets were similar enough that a biped with a spinal column was the best possible form for you and us.

But yeah, I guess you're doing something right.

[silverspotlight]

I want to see space with you guys, when our mission is over. [a little sudden, but it made him think of it]

[yellowhasthechest]

You'll be out there for a while. [Reaching over and scratching under your chin.]

Space stretches out way past your solar system.

[silverspotlight]

[tipping his head back because oh that feels good you are getting happy seal noises]

I know. It's out there to be explored, isn't it? I mean, it'd still be out there even if people weren't, but why not?

[yellowhasthechest]

[She shrugs, settling into the pillows.] I guess "to be explored" kind of depends on who you are.

And where you're going.

[silverspotlight]

Wherever the Gokaigers go, I'll follow. [snorts a little and twitches his nose, then rolling over to cuddle with you]

[yellowhasthechest]

[... sweet boy. reaches over to turn off the lamp before curling up a little for snuggles, idly scratching your back.]

You realize we're gonna hold you to that, right?

[silverspotlight]

Absolutely. [coos warmly and leans against you]

[yellowhasthechest]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[Seals are soft. I like this.]

[silverspotlight]

I won't, promise! [wriggling happily]

[yellowhasthechest]

[Laughing a little.]

You wiggle too much!

[silverspotlight]

It's really hard to do much else! I'd hug you if I could, though.

[yellowhasthechest]

You need limbs for that.

[Snuggling a little tighter, though.]

[silverspotlight]

[that is good, and you will be nuzzled]
