O-oh? [ a turn of her head; a look of chagrin. sansa bites her bottom lip and folds her hands together whenever she realizes she's been caught out by one of the other crew-members. she shakes her head. ] No. Not at all. Only I...I'm looking for something, my lady.

[curiositykilledthecats]

You need not be nervous. You are crew here, are you not?

[She recognizes that body language, having so frequently used it herself when she was younger. She relaxes her own shoulders, and lowers her ears, trying to seem non-threatening.]

My name is Miah. May I ask yours?

[steeledskin]

Sansa.

[ and she nods -- indicating that she is crew, but: ] I've never stepped foot on this vessel before. We were all on that other one. The bigger one.

[curiositykilledthecats]

It is a pleasure, Sansa.

[Oh. That explains a lot, doesn't it?] We are meant to be on these vessels, normally. The Atroma took us to that ship for reasons unknown.

[steeledskin]

It was so crowded. [ the memory plagues her, it seems. ] But at least it was more spacious, as well.

[curiositykilledthecats]

It was.

... You have my apologies for not meeting you there. I spent that time looking for clues to find the Atroma.

[steeledskin]

[ a soft hum. ]

I don't think it's something for which you need apologize.

[curiositykilledthecats]

Perhaps not. However, even so, as one tasked with the security of this ship, it is remiss for me to not know all its members.

[Her tail flicks back and forth as she talks.]

[steeledskin]

Security?

[ oh, she stiffens all the more -- if that's even possible. ]

[curiositykilledthecats]

Yes. It is my duty to protect all who dwell in this ship.

[steeledskin]

[ even me? ]

Protect them from what?

[curiositykilledthecats]

Anything that would do them harm.

[steeledskin]

But -- [ and she sharpens her point a little further. ] Is there much harm threatened upon us?
