ummm xurkit what kind of things do you like to do for fun with your mate? isn't pierot a little... let's say, high maintenance?
"The fuck does that mean? Not really, no. At least not for someone like me. Piers feeds off my psionics just fine, and there's more than plenty to go around."
As you speak, the weird little clown alien is pressed up against your side and tucked under one of your arm cables.
"Sometimes it tags along to work with me. Power surges don't bother it at all. Uhhh. What else. I was on its show once."
There's plenty more you could say, but you don't like talking about your sex life.
