[It's a nice reprieve, all things considered, but 76 knows how he gets when there isn't much to do. Exploring and taking samples is all well and good, but he doesn't like to be idle for too long. He'll enjoy the untamed wilderness of the Coelacanth for as long as they're here, but eventually he'll need to occupy himself with more than this.
For now, it's enough, even though 76 knows that eventually, he'll be drawn back to war in one way or another. He simply doesn't know how to function otherwise.
That, however, is a contemplation that he's more than happy to bury, putting his mind on anything else. Busying himself with the ordinary chores of stoking a fire and making camp helps, and he nods affirmatively when Ashitaka invites him into the space.]
It's a nice change, at least.
[Though he imagines anything would be a nice change from Gallipoli. He doesn't have to ask if Ashitaka agrees, because of course he does.]

We might as well enjoy it while we can.
