[ Well, a lot of boats can be larger than the Hangvan--they've got large hulls, for the most part. Gorgug would be willing to learn how to steer a boat to have a fun time with Fabian (and they could even invite their friends!), but giving it some thought, while pushing open the baguette so that Fabian can butter it when he's ready: ]
[ Gorgug sees the action stopped, the turn of Fabian's head in his vision, and so he looks back at Fabian. Surprised, if less than him; more curious, though he does turn that inward as he considers what he just said and decided. ]
--Yeah? [ He doesn't need that long to ponder. ] Boats are cool. We can go together and hang out with our friends.
[ Despite the fact that they're talking about this while on a date, Fabian doesn't protest the idea of going with their friends. Especially since Riz did say he would want to be Fabian's first mate and all. Leaving him out would just be cruel then. Fabian isn't like that.
The bridge of his nose wrinkles though when Gorgug mentions fishing, Fabian's attention momentarily turned away from what he was doing with the bread. ]
Fishing takes forever though. It's boring.
[ .. a beat, and then he has to admit, though not exactly enthusiastically: ]
But it is the only way to eat fish while out there. [ And who would Fabian be if he didn't eat fish, Gorgug.. Look at your poor pathetic boyfriend, could you deny him his fish dishes?? ]
[ Fabian doesn't even think the bot idea is that bad. As much as he carries a grudge against the companion bots in this place, it's not like he really minds the bots Gorgug makes. They're not his favorite thing or anything, but he doesn't dislike them either. They just.. exist. They're just Gorgug's hobby!
Though there is one thing about it that sure stands out in this moment. Once more. ]
Does it have to be an animal? [ No, wait-- ] Does it have to be a bird?
It can just be like a gun that's a net? Like the grappling one we made to catch the Night Yorb? [ They can say it now! It's sealed on the top of his van! ] We can attach it to the back and just-- [ shoo! ] Fire it, and reel it back in!
[ ... ]
I think that's what they do on fishing boats, actually.

What if you teach me how to ride a boat?
[ Wouldn't that be the most fun? ]

Mostly because he has to turn his head so he can actually properly look at Gorgug with his eye. A little surprised. Nothing too shocked, but-- ]
You'd want to learn?
[ --still sounding a little breathless, for some reason. Just a touch. ]
I mean-- You're serious about wanting to go out on a ship together sometime?

[ Hmmm. Oh, you know- ]
Should we pick up fishing?
[ Would that be any fun? ]

Gorgug's quiet, thinking about it, and then figures: ]
I can make us a bot to fish for us.
[ ... ]
... bear. [ ... ] Bird.
[ Of course his brain is going through fish-catching animals here... sorry, lunch. Gorgug is becoming distracted. ]
