Why this must be read: More Glitch-centric! Great Glitch-voice, and the friendshippy Cain-Glitch interaction is great.
Glitch looked around him, and felt a sudden, powerful urge to start humming, or challenge Cain to a duel, or propose a game of canasta, whatever that was. Anything to break the pall of tension that had fallen over the drawing room, and it's long-faced occupants.
What was canasta?
Anyway!
He wouldn't have minded so much, maybe, if it hadn't all been directed at him. Well, maybe that wasn't true. He never liked it when people around him started panicking, because usually he was partly relying on them for reference to what was going on, in case he glitched. When they panicked, he lost a little more of his frame of reference, and that made him nervous, and being nervous made him more likely to glitch, and when he glitched and came back, they were panicking worse, and ... It was one of those vicious-cycle things he'd heard about. Decidedly unpleasant.
