"You have to ruin everything with logic, don't you? I can't have a joke or three." Vance was right, naturally. There wasn't anything preventing Arcade from taking Robbie as well, 'collecting the set', but Robbie assumed that there was always one person left out of everything, to suffer.
He doesn't miss that expression though, and goes two shades paler with a far away look. Mentally cataloguing everyone he knows who wears yellow. Angelica and Selah keep coming up, but they don't fit. Vance would never say that about them. A.I.M. X-Men. Wolverine.
Way too many people wear yellow. It could've been here, too, so that means an infinite choice. Robbie wasn't sure he'd remind Vance. Sometimes, it was better to not know.
"I said I have space germs, and I got here after the medic. Ergo, we can both be space lizard daddies tomorrow. I don't know why I bother. Explaining the joke ruins it. I'm not going to try anymore. I mean, I will, but it won't be the same." He doesn't bother with a delicate segue. "I guess I thought you were from when I'm from, so the blood and the headache... it's not what I expected."
