[Ray has been walking around, minding his own business, and suddenly he's changing directions.]

What the fuck, Polly! Some warning would be nice!

[grabthecheese]

I told you to grab onto something, Ray.

[Maybe she's being a little mean, but-- No, it's fun, and it's important, and she feels absolutely no remorse.]

[poetontheinside]

Yeah, next time tell me it's 'cause you're doing a loop-de-loop with the fucking ship! [Huff huff]

[grabthecheese]

Did you fall over?

accidentally gave you access!? exciting

[poetontheinside]

Yes! Yes, I fell over!

omg omg much excitement now I can spy on you!!

[grabthecheese]

Sorry, Ray.

[She's grinning.]

Re: omg omg much excitement now I can spy on you!!

[poetontheinside]

[He makes his wobbly way back up and grumpily stands near her]

You are not sorry, you aren't fooling anyone.

[grabthecheese]

I'm practicing these maneuvers in case anything happens. Or would you prefer if I discover too late that I don't have the reflexes to dodge?

[There might have been one or two close calls while they passed through the asteroid belt, but she's not telling him that.]

[poetontheinside]

Yeah, but you could still be sorry. I got a pretty bony ass, Pol, you gotta be delicate with that stuff. [Alright alright he's over it, he's now just looking over her shoulder while she does her job.]

[grabthecheese]

I'll try to give you a three second heads up next time.

[She's just flying normally right now, keeping distance from the other ships, the view ahead mostly clear and filled with stars.]

[poetontheinside]

Thanks. [He rolls his eyes, and as she's not doing anything interesting at the moment he leans against the wall]

Hey, we finally got another guy on board, huh?

[grabthecheese]

Another engineer, too. [she'll glance over at him, since, yes, nothing interesting going on.] He seems helpful.

[Very useful information. Right? Right. It's her impression, anyway.]

[poetontheinside]

Yeah, he's alright. Kinda-- polite, though. [What is it with red people and politeness?]

[grabthecheese]

What's wrong with polite?

[poetontheinside]

Nothing. I just, y'know-- [He does a little full body twitch, flaps his hands. It's illustrative.]

I ain't. Don't wanna offend the guy, but I'm gonna.

[grabthecheese]

[She considers that for a second. Yeah, Ray's definitely gonna.]

You could try thinking about what you say before you say it.

[poetontheinside]

Tried that, didn't work. [He grins at her a little, crossing his arms.]

[grabthecheese]

Then you could try shutting up. [Grinning right back.]

[poetontheinside]

Tried that too, definitely didn't work.

[grabthecheese]

Then you're a lost cause, Ray.

[poetontheinside]

Think he's gonna be polite enough to let it go?

[grabthecheese]

Are you asking me to protect you if he isn't?

[poetontheinside]

Would you?

[grabthecheese]

[She hesitates a second.]

I'd consider it.

[poetontheinside]

Thanks, Cap. Let's hope you consider real quick.
