[Only Cayde doesn't come back. There do eventually come a few heavy thuds, and after a moment more, if Cloud hasn't come to investigate himself, the Exo pokes his head out through the doorway and squints over at him before waving him back in.
The mattress has been flipped up from the bed and shoved against the wall. A very rough-looking target's been drawn on a piece of paper and pinned up by one of Cayde's throwing knives, just a couple feet from the top of the mattress.
Someone looks proud of himself.]
Ta-daaa!

[ Cloud would eventually slowly make his way down the hall. Cayde wasn't trying to get out of walking around the tunnel was he? The Exo didn't seem all that thrilled about the idea.
He tilts his head at the thudding and then raises an eyebrow at the waving. What exactly had Cayde done? Cloud walked a bit quicker to see what the other had done. At least he went down a more creative path. He puts his hands on his hips while looking at Cayde with a small smile. ]
We don't have to walk anymore. But you did get a nice thought.
[ He nods his head towards the mattress while looking back at Cayde and smirking a little. ]
Is this your way of seeing what the mattress is made out of or getting out of the walk?

Neither. Or maybe both, if unintentionally.
[He holds out the rest of the knives from earlier.]
Can't throw 'em at the walls or the doors, but this works, right?

Tony mentioned you are planning to make a mural.
[ Yes, straight to the point. ]
[ Yes, straight to the point. ]
Well hello to you too!
-Tony's idea, actually- one of his better ones that doesn't involve taking me apart. Definitely a big project, I'm not really sure on all the details 'cuz we haven't hashed 'em all out but we're recruiting artists!

I see.
Can I request that your endeavors in these recruitment efforts refrain from risking taking Tony apart as well?

You say that like it's my intent or something.
I say it to remind you that not all of us have supernatural healing abilities. And that certain people even refuse to be healed by any magical means.
Tony's a big boy, he can make his own decisions. All I can do is make sure he doesn't break his neck.
It's not merely his neck I'm worried about, Cayde.
You're missing the point. Look, I can't tell Tony not to do something any more than you can, so the best I can do is look out for him.
Have you tried not being excited about his more self-destructive ideas?
I'm not sure either of us are on the same page as you when it comes to 'self-destructive ideas'. Also- if I didn't go along with his ideas he might just do things himself, you know.
He's more likely to let go of it if he doesn't have an audience - Or a partner in crime. You're only encouraging that behavior.
[Cayde snorts.]
Is he though? Am I? Look, if you wanna tell me it's my fault then just tell me straight up, all right?

This is not about anything being anyone's fault. This is about your responsibility to be mindful of the fact that some of us can actually get hurt and die!

No, it's not, because there ain't a damn day I don't think about that and nothing I wouldn't do to keep people from getting hurt or worse!
But you know what? That hasn't stopped Tony or Tommy or anyone from throwing themselves in harm's way to keep me from harm no matter how much I'd rather they didn't risk themselves for my metal butt.
I will hands down do the same for anyone here, and being more durable has nothing to do with it. So don't you think that I like getting hurt just because I can probably fix myself up again, or think that I haven't lost any fellow Guardians- good people, just because of what we are. [He forces a laugh.] Because believe it or not, we're not as immortal as you'd think.
G'bye, Jon.

You've been on the Agrii ship before?
fuck's sake Cayde just answer the question
Tommy said you were there and I need some information.
Tommy said you were there and I need some information.
oh
i knew that
yeah i was there. i hope the agrii are taking care of the rock bird i found
what do you need?

what do you need?
Tommy said there was some kind of event on-ship that was like a storm, but milder.
It didn't affect any non-Agrii but still incapacitated Ga Re somehow.
You observed this?

a storm? i don't remember any storm.
we were all kinda split up
someone had invaded the agrii ship and off-loaded everyone except ga re.
some of us stayed by the ships and got controls working in the docking bay
we went to check out the bridge and another team went looking for ga re
oh wait there was
the power was flucchu
flu
fritzing out at one point. enemy ships opened fire on us but we got the shields up before then

Power fluctuations?
[Similar to how the storms make all of the electronics stop working...maybe Tommy saw that happen and inferred a storm-like cause, but there's plenty of other reasons for why that could happen, especially in a fight.]
Do you know who the invaders were, and if they were the ones messing with the power?
