Theo suspected he'd be a bit of a third wheel, on this mission with the governor and his husband -- and the word governor made him a bit wary, too. He did not typically make a habit of getting close to people in power, to law enforcement. But he'd gotten the impression that Sunjata wasn't necessarily that kind of governor, that Torchline's "laws" were a good bit looser than Halo's, so maybe it would be a good idea to know the governor -- to have done him a favor. Even if this just turned into a normal job with a few trinkets as a reward, well, this Deepfrost had been lean for Theo. As allergic as he usually was to real work, he was even more allergic to starving.
Thanks to those lean times, Theo showed up with nothing but the clothes on his back and an easy smile. "Hello, I'm here to lend a hand. Name's Theo. We're ... working on spreading pollen?"
To be honest, Theo hadn't paid too much attention to the details. He knew that this job had something to do with pollen, which seemed like something he could potentially move around with his telekinesis, so he hoped it wouldn't be heavy work. The cart full of parts seemed to suggest otherwise, though. Construction work? Damn. Well, it could be worse.
