002; i'm pulling my questions from my shelf

[truthvalue]

Who: Souji Seta and ... you???
Broadcast: Network; open
Action: Marsiva; kitchen; open
When: The evening of the 12th.

[Souji turns on the camera, gives it an absent glance, then sets it off to the side before returning his attention to the simmering pot on the stove in front of him.]

Seta here ... I have a question. I'm wondering, is it possible - assuming we eventually return to our assigned ships - to transfer to a different one?

[He taps the stirring spoon on the edge of the pot, then replaces the lid and turns the heat down to just below simmer.]

Also, there's a new pot of stew in the kitchen. Please come by if you're hungry.

Yeah. Security. Wow. So important right now.

[ the sarcasm is evident ]

[truthvalue]

If we get attacked by giant space bugs, I'm counting on you to save us all.

[takeabow]

I'll try my best.

[truthvalue]

I believe in you.

[takeabow]

That makes one of us.

[truthvalue]

[That brings a slight frown to his face.]

You don't believe in yourself?

[takeabow]

Well, it was kind of a joke.

[truthvalue]

But not entirely?

[takeabow]

It's really not worth drawing out. I've done security stuff here before. It's fine.

[truthvalue]

[He nods. Souji isn't the sort to press people to talk about things they'd rather not. More often, it's the opposite - people approach him for advice, a task to be completed, an object to be found.]

More stew?

[takeabow]

Thanks.

[ offers her bowl ]

Self-deprecating humor is part of my charm.

[ very, very dryly ]

[truthvalue]

[filling it back up]

Just try not to be too hard on yourself.

[takeabow]

I'll work on it.
