“All selfishness should be earnest.” Is it okay that my unselfishness isn’t that earnest? It can be pretty tiring otherwise.
The Shadow
How quaint, to associate rationality with adulthood! If only…

With Leb and Pally riding in Chiphu’s pockets, we can only glimpse the collars of what are no doubt fabulous outfits, but what I took at first to be reproductions of the synth hats the elders wore are instead a purple top hat and what is either a bowler or a cap. Chiphu’s done well by them.

Don’t be rational. There’s no point.
Coyoty
This is the origin of the Joker. He sees how crazy the world he’s in is, while everyone else dismisses all the craziness, and he can’t or won’t unsee it. I hope Chiphu is more positive about it.

“Are those sentient edible robotic mice in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” comes to mind.

I’ve been young and I’ve been old; neither state makes any fraction’ rational sense. Don’t let ’em tell you any different.

No, no … it works. “It makes no fraction of sense” is actually what I thought you meant.
Dr. Moosen McMoose
All those light years of distance away from Earth haven’t made the fanny pack any cooler.

I could use some earnest selfishness. The types I usually encounter come wrapped in a promotional campaign to make me think it’s all for ME. Which is patently ridiculous. Like all those spam messages telling me I’m a beneficiary of some corpse in Africa with my last name… and I’m BCC’d.
Just once I’d like to see a note from one of these bagmen saying, “I’m a miserable Nigerian would-be thief, but if you send me twenty dollars every week for nothing, I’ll be respectable.” I wouldn’t pay them for that either, but it WOULD be refreshing.

Nice to see the two mousen ones are now equipped with dapper little hats!

Looks like a couple of mice have decided to watch Their Heroes go off to Adventure!

“Bon voyage! Don’t forget to write!”

“Tit-mouse” is a horrible, insensitive joke.
Demarquis
Personally, I would be more likely to take them along if I thought their selfishness wasn’t earnest.

That’s kind of the joke. Normally, you want people who want to help you instead of people with ulterior motives. The mice, banking on that, lied.
In this case, they aren’t likely to be useful to Aitana and might get killed trying to be. If their goal really was to help her, allowing them to go is a bad idea of dubious value.
If they have their own reasons to go, though, that’s just not her business as long as they aren’t working against her.
