I did.




Do you agree with her assessment?

[ VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. ]

[busternaut]

Yeah I can see em' both.

[He literally said that to Lacus as well but LEAVE IT TO YZAK to require extra affirmation from his emotional support woof.]

I don't think snow leopards and penguins live in the same area but there's also some inherent hilarity to the idea of you and Athrun both being represented by cold-weather animals with one a bird and the other a cat.

[Been a while since he last poked the Yzak-Athrun rivalry button, let's see if it still bears hilarious fruit. JUST BECAUSE THEY'VE MATURED DOESN'T MEAN HE CAN'T STILL BE AN INSTIGATING LITTLE SHIT EVERY NOW AND THEN, AS A TREAT.]

[coordination]

[ Look, he could have been humoring her! Yzak trusts that if he felt it wasn't true, he'd tell him if asked. ]

A penguin would never stand a chance against a snow leopard!

[ IT DO BEAR FRUIT. ]

[busternaut]

[HA HA SCOOOOOORE. This is peak entertainment.]

Definitely true!

...Assuming the face off is on land.

[ . . . ]




They can swim!!

[busternaut]

[Wherever he is right now, he is full on laughing to himself.]

in the open ocean!? for how long???

[coordination]

[ The worst part is Yzak KNOWS he is getting a kick out of this so he can practically hear him. ]

As long as it takes!

[ He is no longer talking about animals. ]

[busternaut]

OK hang on I'm gonna search something real quick

[He Googles the question "how long can penguins stay underwater", but finds something unsettling instead.]

...Damn did you know penguins are extinct in this world?

[coordination]

Oh.

[ THAT'S depressing. ]

They're considered endangered on Earth back home, I think?

So this far into the future in a world like this...

[busternaut]

yeah, i guess i shouldn't really be surprised.

[what he IS surprised about is the fact that Yzak didn't immediately ask if the same was true of snow leopards.]

[coordination]

Did you look up the leopards while you were at it?

[ There u go. ]

And the eagles. Because an eagle could take a penguin on, too, on that subject.

[busternaut]

[Yeah there it is.]

Sorry pal. Snow leopards are gone too.

Seems like there’s a few kinds of eagles left? I dunno which kind Miss Lacus was specifically referring to.

[coordination]

Judging by her other choice, I'm going to assume a powerful one that adequately suits me much like the snow leopard.

I wonder why she thought of a penguin for Athrun, though...

[busternaut]

Beats me... Maybe I can ask her.

Or you could.

[coordination]

I will. Now I'm curious.
