( Ian's made it a habit to swing by after every new clutch of eggs, for the distribution of supplies. Because of what he learned to do in New Amsterdam, it's priceless to some people to not have to really give up the clothes or supplies of their dead loved ones. He can duplicate some of it - clothes, mostly - and hand off the copy to the new arrival. It's how he ran into Luke, and now...
You gotta be fucking kidding him.
It's such a weird feeling, the conflict in him. Part of him's glad to see a familiar face, glad someone he knows got away from their dying planet and thus extended their potential lifespan back out to what it ought to be again. Another part of him, old habit without a speck of rust on it apparently, is instantly annoyed in 1.5 seconds. And that's before he sees the exchange with the kids.
And so ya boi ambles over, looking a lot healthier than people generally look after 18 months of rationing, stress, and no healthcare like Takoda might remember. Hands stuffed in his pockets, casual and comfortable and irritated all at once. )
You literally show up on a new planet in a whole new universe and the first thing you do is scare the fucking children.
