When: rite nao!!

[Elena is curled up on one of the couches.]

So is anyone else starting to get a little worried we're not going back to our ships? I thought maybe this would last a couple of days or a week at the most, but...

[She shakes her head a little with a sigh.]

At least they gave us some entertainment, I guess.

[If her tone of voice is any indication, she doesn't find that all that comforting.]

[Elena's not sure how much Caesar's faith plays into what he's dealing with, but if it will help? She's definitely for it. But what she feels more than that uncertainty is a little guilt. She doesn't think what she told Caesar would change things enough so that Caesar would start to avoid Stefan, but that in combination with the memory she unintentionally shared with him? That's...]

[Elena rubs at the back of her neck a little. Now's not the time. Not now. Some other time.]

I'll be sure to let him know he's welcome to talk to you about things, [she offers, instead.] I'm not sure he'll take you up on it, but at least he'll know it's there.

[stefanged]

Me either, but... it can't hurt.

[Stefan can't say he would expect Caesar to follow up, considering the sudden avoidance. Maybe he'd cracked one too many inappropriate jokes about Space Pope^TM - but out of everyone on the Fleet, he knows how faith can comfort someone and guide them back towards their straight path. It's not an empty promise, at least, not on his end.]

I just hope they hurry up with these "calibrations." Never thought I'd admit this, but I'm starting to miss my hunk of junk.

[Elena flashes a smile.]

I know what you mean. It's nice being able to see everyone, at least.

[stefanged]

Yeah, kind of like one big slumber party. We've even got daily marathons of The Princess Bride.

[He returns that smile. Stef can play the optimism game too! ... Kind of.]

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena's smile widens. He really must have been hanging around Caesar then.]

Nothing better than that.

[stefanged]

Of course not. [He leans back, as if trying to think of something...] So. Until this's all over, I've got a sudden abundance of free time.

And since I kind of owe you, why don't you pick what I'm watching next?
