#I mean I too would be very appreciative if my enby partner spent all that time making gardening robots to help out in our greenhouse

But wait, what's this? Moory's cowshed is dirty and the feed's run low? Well, we can't have that, can we? And as Bugs had the greenhouse pretty well covered, I decided Victor could head in there to clean things up and refill the hay. After all, he is the one with Scruberoo -- no matter how stinky he might get (and he did get fairly stinky), he could clean himself up instantly afterward. :p And once that was done, it was time to pet and milk Moory herself, making sure she was as happy a cow as she could be. :) Honestly, keeping her content is pretty easy, I've found -- I TOTALLY could have gotten this lot a cow earlier. XD

Anyway -- while Victor was busy with Moory and her pen, Smiler was busy with the chickens and their pen -- having finished up their chatterbots (and fixed another busted turbine), it was time to spread feed, clean the coop, tell the chickens terrible jokes to keep them happy, and collect the eggs! To my annoyance, though, most of the eggs were hatchable ones, with just one regular among them. *sigh* I'm blaming that on it being rooster-mania in the coop -- I think the population now is genuinely half-and-half roosters and hens. I DEFINITELY have to remember to cull the flock a little bit in a future episode -- I need those eggs for cooking and selling, damn it!

Once the two were done with the livestock, it was time to take on the greenhouse -- Smiler, having taken over herbalism duties, grabbed all the stuff out of the storage box and harvested all those plants (plus the plasma fruit tree), while Victor came in, took care of the creepy hands, and grabbed everything else. The pair also shared a quick tender moment while Smiler was powering down the depleted Bugs in preparation for putting it back on the robotics bench -- I like to think Victor was thanking Smiler for all the robotic help they keep building him. :) They're so cute, seriously...

Anyway, once the greenhouse was sorted, it was just a matter of waiting for Alice to finish her book; Smiler to finish playing around with the bonsai tree; and Victor to finish shooing a threatening fox (stay away from my eggs!) before the trio could finally set off to San Myshuno! Victor shared one quick tender moment with Alice while Smiler finished their heart, then grabbed a bunch of stuff from the fridge...
