[Casey nods along, fishing out his relic so he can take note of some of those titles. At the mention of them being sci-fi, he perks up.]

Oh, Hunter and I have been reading some of those! We're working through a series he found, we just hit book 2. They're really good.

[The spider bot on Casey's shoulder is reaching out to try and peek at the relic.]

Oh! That's cool, what is the book series like so far? I'm glad you guys are reading something really fun.

[Once Casey notices, he tilts his relic towards the bot. Sure, buddy, you can stalk his Notes app.]

It's pretty cool. It's about a group of explorers that go from planet to planet, discovering what's never been seen before, meeting new aliens, getting into trouble. The characters are fun.

[It's basically rebranded Star Trek, not that he knows what that is.]

[Spider bot is reading everything very intently, and by reading its just taking in words with no idea what anything means! It boops softly, eyes blinking red and blue.

That explanation sure sounds like Star Trek, but, Peter errs on not mentioning that.] Oh, I love that kind of story, it means so many cool things can happen and it doesn't really ever get dull.

Do you guys have any favorite characters so far?

I really like Captain Hezal. She's super heroic and charismatic, but she's always getting herself into trouble.

[Unsurprisingly, very sensei-esque.]

And I won't speak for Hunter, but I think he's rooting for the head engineer, Teve Walker. He's very mysterious. And yeah, the story's so interesting! Every planet is different, so it's unpredictable.

That's always a really fun kind of character to follow in a story. They make every new adventure really exciting. [Given Peter is dating someone like this, its equally unsurprising he's compelled by this kind of personality.] Hopefully the books dig deeper into Teve Walker's backstory soon. Depends honestly on how many books there are in the series.

Did you guys have a favorite planet they visited-?

I should probably check out that book series too, give me something else to do when I'm not working or patrolling.

Well... we're only on book 2, but I really liked Vinci. It's covered in coral flowers, and the life forms are sentient bioluminescents. The cover alone is gorgeous, really makes me wish I could paint better.

[It's inspiring some beautiful landscapes in his mind, mostly because he's never seen anything that could compare in real life.]

Oh, but anything else I could say would be spoilers. Since we finished the first book, I'll ask if Hunter minds if I can pass it over to you.

Oh wow, that does sound really pretty. [Peter perks up a little, his own imagination running wild with even the slight description Casey has given him.]

Yeah, only if you guys wanna lend it. I can probably find my own copies too, especially if its like a long running series.

It's not really ours to lend, it's from the library. As long as it goes back in time I don't think it matters who has it.

[Libraries are a new-ish concept for him, but this doesn't seem like a big deal. It's not like they don't know where Peter lives.]

I haven't checked how many books there are... I hope lots, though. It's really good.

Yeah, I'll definitely hit up a bookstore or see if the library has any other copies available. Better to not see what library fines are like here. Probably involves some curses or something.

If its like any other book series, its probably like Warrior Cats level of way too many books.

We haven't been cursed yet, but it's up to you. Offer's on the table.

[He shrugs. Not like he can force Peter to take it. Who knows, maybe they would be in a bookstore somewhere.]

What's Warrior Cats?

I'll keep it in mind.

[He has something else in mind to say before Casey asks that. Peter pauses debating with himself.

Oh boy, he got himself into this conversation.] Its like, a book series about these feral cats having different colonies and living their lives. Ned was like really into them back in middle school.

They're written super melodramatically, but in a fun way.

Huh... okay, I'll add that series to my list. We can at least check them out.

[If it's melodramatic that means the silly voices will be doubly effective when he reads them out loud and Hunter seems to love that, so. That's what makes it appealing to him.]

The series gets progressively weird and weirder for a book series about feral cats. So, you'll definitely have fun. [Peter muses with a nostalgic edge to his smile.]

I'll keep that in mind, hah.

[Warrior Cats is officially on his list of book series to look for. Once they get around to it, at least. Still lots of space adventures to be had. In the meantime, Casey tucks away his relic gives the spider-bot another pat.]

Maybe the thus-far unnamed spider-bot will like the live readings of silly novels too.

[Spider-Bot beeps, wiggling to try and grab a hold of Casey's hand. If it can it will hold onto one of his fingers with a set of tiny legs.]

Spider-Bot will probably start being dramatic if you read it warrior cats. [Peter jokes idly back, amused at the little bot deciding it loves Casey so immediately.] Hopefully you and Hunter find a name for it.

[His finger is held! Casey doesn't seem to mind. It is in fact a very cute little bot.]

I'm sure we will. I should get out of your hair, though, and get my homework done. Thank you for this, seriously. I appreciate your thinking of me.

Oh yeah, if you slack on the homework it'll pile up super fast. [He knows from experience.] No problem, Casey. I hope you and Hunter enjoy Spider-Bot, and you guys modify it as you see fit.

Thanks for coming over.

Hey, it was a net gain for me. [He grins. He almost said thanks for the millionth time, too.] I'll be sure to send you an update once we figure out what we're doing with the little guy.

[And off he goes!]
