“Hey, of course it’s okay!” Quartz answered her.  “We made enough for everyone, after all.”

Susumu
turned to Cat Slime, reaching into one of the boxes. “Alright, little
guy, you can have one now,” she said, producing a sandwich from one of
the boxes and handing it to him. “Sorry, it’s not anything too fancy,
just ham and cheese.”

Beep took a look around. “Well, is there
a table around here or something?” she asked. “Or maybe a blanket so we
can have a proper picnic? I think it’d be nice to sit down and get to
know each other while we eat…”

[[I mean, if you need a table…]]

No, that wouldn’t be needed. The Repairman had a table out already, pulling it from his absurdly spacious blue toolbox.

Cat Slime immediately hopped onto the picnic table, happily nibbling on the sandwich. Hey, he didn’t need anything fancy in his treats!

Carefully, Marie sat down on one end, next to her brother. She really wasn’t prepared for anything like this so quickly after she came to be.

“…Uh…Well, erm, what do you guys do for a living?” It wasn’t much, but it was a start. “I mean, other that cuteness competitions, of course”

She scratched under Medical’s chin with one hand and patted Cat Slime’s head with the other.

The Repairman couldn’t help but chuckle at that last remark. Gosh, already she was joking? Maybe if he could keep her from replacing him, she’d be a nice companion anyway…
