Next stop: vacation! Well, they were going to be on a ship for who knows how long before their vacation could officially start, but Techie was trying to be positive.
A ton of hours and three awkward silences later, they arrived on the pleasant beach planet and settled into the resort. He headed straight for the playground for Adeline’s sake, letting her go off to play with a “Stay c-cl-close, Addie!”
She smiled playing in the sand
Techie sat himself down on a hard bench and watched her play, feeling relaxed and hopeful. This is good. This is so, so *nice*. For once he feels like nothing will go wrong.
