[deshabille]

[She's noticed Nightingale's caginess about the planet, but frankly has no idea where it comes from or what to do about it. After a moment's hesitation, she crosses the bridge to look out at the planet with her.]

What's wrong with water?

[experiencepoints]

[It takes her a second to respond, not wanting to dump too much on the captain at once- let's not mention the horrible drowning and shit.]

... Can't swim.

[deshabille]

I can't either. Someone can teach you.

[Which is Mal's way of politely calling bullshit. There's something else, even if it's just a phobia.]

[experiencepoints]

Why don't you have someone teach you instead, then?

[deshabille]

I plan to.

[experiencepoints]

Have fun with that.

[deshabille]

I will, and so will you.

[experiencepoints]

I don't have fun.

[deshabille]

That's very stupid.

[experiencepoints]

And I don't care to learn to swim.

[deshabille]

Therefore you're categorically incapable of having fun?

[experiencepoints]

Other way around. And why am I having to justify myself to you about this?

[deshabille]

Because I'm your captain. [Duh.]

[experiencepoints]

So it's your job to police fun now?

[deshabille]

More or less, yes.

[experiencepoints]

Well, tough. I'm not interested in swimming.

[deshabille]

What are you interested in?

[experiencepoints]

[She opens her mouth, about to give a response on reflex, but stops.]

... I don't know. My magic?

[deshabille]

Really?

[She leans forward, genuinely interested now.]

I didn't know you had magic.

[experiencepoints]

Of course.

[She holds up a cupped hand, making a small whirlwind in her palm.]

Mostly mage class spells, elemental attacks and status effects, but I've got a bit from Healer, too.

[deshabille]

[She laughs a little at that - of course - and cranes her neck to see.]

I imagine that's exactly what it sounds like?

[experiencepoints]

Not sure what else it could be.

[deshabille]

Sometimes names are red herrings.

You're very useful, then.

[experiencepoints]

[She shrugs.]

I'd be more useful with a couple of decent staffs. But... Yeah. I can do that, I can do a bit with a spear, and I was my party's main strategist back home.

[deshabille]

Next planetfall you should see if you should pick up some staffs, then.

[She cocks her head at Nightingale curiously.]

Guns are better than spears, though.
