LET ME FLY EVERYTHING

[notglitching]

HALF OF EVERYTHING.

Rinzler doesn't mind Liquid! Their initial conversation in the library was a little off-putting; Liquid latched on to the more offensive questions and refused to let go. But things did defuse, and he's been very much a good trainee with the ships.

The latter experience gets him more credit than it should-- partly because flying matters to Rinzler, but also because Rinzler's... really only starting to settle into this idea of having ship-authority? The transporter crew are a not-insignificant example, but they're assigned to their roles by the captains. This training thing... it's really all Rinzler.

He wasn't expecting to get so many requests, especially directly at him rather than the more human crewmembers. And while he does know what he's doing and is good at his job... there's this half-wary anticipation for the users (and especially the strictly human ones) to disregard him or generally make themselves a pain, because they're users and he's a program, and more, because Rinzler specifically isn't anything that's meant to give output or take charge.

Liquid hasn't done that. He's been prompt and direct, had no problem going through procedures and following Rinzler's lead-- both in terms of doing what he's told through training and looking to Rinzler to figure out what next. He's even picking up on Rinzler's nonverbal indications without much problem, and taking those as they're meant rather than forcing Rinzler to spell everything out. Rinzler's very aware that his lack of vocals Does Not Help in a cockpit, but it hasn't been a problem, largely because Liquid is listening and working with Rinzler, instead of just getting twitchy and trying to hare off on his own.

Considering the above, Liquid's enthusiasm about flying is honestly more endearing than Rinzler would admit. Because yep, Rinzler loves this thing too, and he can totally understand Liquid's urge to go zooming off. And as long as Liquid keeps making it easy for Rinzler, he's inclined to let Liquid go as far as he can. Join the transporter crew; we have flyables.

liquid doesn't see any reason not to treat rinzler like anyone else! other than sometimes getting nosy with the questions, but sometimes that happens.

(his best friend didn't talk much when they were kids (although he was psychic) so he's kind of pretty good at picking up on nonverbal cues)

as much as he'd love that he likes the job he has more because he can stick his nose in everyone's business and just write it off as work even if his dad that he hates has the same job

but he is going to go SO FAR. SO FAR IN SPACE.
