[There's not much for Minato to do but nod, sitting down and leaning back on the chair's back with his hands in his pockets and staring vacantly at the ceiling.

...he's still sitting like that when Athena gets back, but he does acknowledge her return by tilting his head in her direction.] Anything else I should know before I sign?

[psycholawgy]

Nah, you should be good!

[ she hands him a folder with some forms, like an application form with some questions like "why do you want to work here", "what are your strengths", etc. it seems like something used by the head of the HR. ]

The other colonists who work here are Ai and Inaba, but I'm trying to get Merlin to join the crew, too. We need more guys here.

[moribound]

[Minato's halfway through the question about his strengths when Merlin is mentioned again, and he looks up with a curious frown on his face.]

That's the second time you've mentioned him...Merlin, like the legendary wizard?

[psycholawgy]

[ oh... she's heard of merlin the "legendary wizard", but it's never occurred to her that this could be him. weird. ]

I guess so? [ hm, wait. it's not her secret to tell that merlin do magic, so-- ] But I'll let you find that out on your own.

He's really nice. I hope the two of you will get along well.

[moribound]

Yeah, I hope so too. [If it's Athena saying that he's nice, I'm sure he's nice too... That distraction almost leads to him misspelling a letter and Minato just avoids it in time, finally signing off with his name and handing the forms back to Athena.]

Here you go.

[psycholawgy]

Thanks, Minato!

I look forward to working with you. [ with the forms in one hand, she holds out the other for a handshake. ]

[moribound]

You're welcome, and I'm looking forward to it too. [He holds her hand with his right hand and shakes it firmly before letting, tucking it back into his pocket.]

It's close to dinner so I should go. See you tomorrow.
