Who: Jove Lavellan
Broadcast: fleetwide audio
Action: on that weirdass bug ship
When: NOW!!

I don't know how many of us have all been through this ship so far, but it looks as though there's still a lot of it in working order. Or it could be in working order, if we were to put forth the effort to get it that way. I think if enough of us were to work together, we might be able to see to at least turning some lights on, if not getting the thing running properly again.

The bugs are dangerous, of course, so if there are any security officers who could spare the time to come with us engineers when the time comes, I'm sure we'd all appreciate a little extra fire power. I suppose you could say this is less of a call to arms and more of a call to discussing who is willing to come along and repair a very strange alien ship. So... who's with me?

[There's a pause after that, and it could be because the audio has ended just there, until...]

And if anyone has seen a slightly grumpy bald elf, could you send him my direction?

(ooc: info on the updated bug plot can be found here!)

[He'd really rather her have no part in this at all, not when her magic doesn't work on the creatures especially, but he knows he's not going to convince Jove otherwise. He's outnumbered.]

You stay near Jove or myself as long as you're on the ship. You do not go anywhere alone. Understood?

[ She breathes out her answer with an annoyed sigh. ]

I know.

[Maker's breath, little girls are sweet until they have attitude.].

I needed to be sure. If anything happened to you, Elize, I don't know what I'd do with myself.

[It's true. He chuckles a little.]

Try not to scare me, hmm?

[ She's so comfortable enough around him that he's one of the few people that she gives attitude to... ]

Nothing would happen to me.

[ Because she won't be alone. He'll be there. Jove too. Not saying that. She's supposed to be annoyed at him. Shhh. ]

I can't be too careful when it comes to your safety.

[ He did protect her from the bugs when she got chased deep into the ship. Elize hasn't thanked him with her own words for that yet.

Her only reply is a little huff! ]

Hmph.

[ ...She's thankful though, really. She doesn't want to say it right now. ]

[Cullen just barely holds back a sigh. Fine, fine. He'll let her... pout, or whatever it is she's doing. He doesn't know what else to do!]

...

I'll try not to give you a heart attack.

I deeply appreciate it. I'm rather old, you know.

Do I need to get you a cane?

What was that? [Ha ha get it, old man... hearing loss...]

I said- [ Like she's about to yell, but she restrains herself. ] Um... n-nothing. Forget it.

[ It doesn't sound like she got the joke. Maybe the communicator just made her hard to hear! ]

[He thought it was funny.]

May I come see you? [Are you done being moody?]

[ She has no idea it was a joke. ]

I guess... [ Yes. To his question and being moody, maybe. ]
