[ It's definitely an abrupt and sudden topic. And-- well, it's not like Fabian is going to kid himself to think that's what Gorgug was really doing in here. Maybe back when he first got the lab, when Fabian was busy throwing fits about robot hand holding and all, but he knows that recently nothing can have consumed Gorgug's days other than the very obvious problem they are dealing with in this place.
And maybe there is a logical explanation as to why the other's thoughts ended up at this topic. Or maybe it's just that Gorgug is so tired right now that all of his thoughts are blending together. Either way-- ]
Of course a bangle is fine.
[ --of course he has to reassure his friend first. Gorgug looks so worried and tired and kind of sad right now that doing anything else would feel like kicking a small puppy. Absolutely unforgivable. It doesn't matter that Gorgug is one of the few people that can tower over him, or that Fabian would lose every single arm wrestling match that didn't involve some sort of cheating from Gorgug. He seems weirdly vulnerable in this moment, and it's Fabian's natural instinct to take care of that, to lift up his friends when they are low.
Still, given what the situation is like, part of said reassurance has to be: ]
But I also think I'm about one of the last people you should be thinking about right now. [ No matter how much Fabian whines for attention at.. well, any other given time, let's be real. He's not going to be the sort of asshole that demands for it when Adaine is trapped, when Gorgug is letting himself fall apart right in front of Fabian's eyes. ] I think we can both agree to put Adaine on the first place of the list of people you should be thinking about right now, but I feel like Gorgug should be second place on there, don't you think?
[ He counts on his fingers in a way that's clearly that Fabian brand of dramatic and play-acted, before adding with a tone that's just as light as the act itself. ]
I think I can settle for.. you know, maybe seventh or something. Just this once.
[ Sure, it's touching that Gorgug wanted to make anything for him at all - just because he hadn't been around for the birthday party, something he's sure no one blames Gorgug for at all - but there's no time to linger on that before Gorgug thinks he really has to take Fabian into consideration when the half-orc looks like he could pass out right here in his lab. ]
