It may prove too much for me to change. My brother has a strong will, my lady.

[dancingmd]

Perhaps, then, it is best to give it some time and more thought, at least until you all have had a chance to transition into this new situation.

[She gives Sansa a small smile.]

The "my lady" isn't necessary. Just "Doctor" is fine.

[steeledskin]

Doctor, then. [ the word is foreign in her mouth. ] It's not a title I know well.

[dancingmd]

I understand. It is the same for me and "my lady."

[Frankly, even though she knows Sansa is only using it out of respect, "my lady" makes her very uncomfortable. Not that she'll actually voice that - she is not out to insult her new crewmate.]

How are you settling in, by the way?

[steeledskin]

[ she conjures a small smile. it's only polite. ]

The whole ship has been far more welcoming than I could ever hope for. I -- I like it better than the Huntress. [ maybe that's an inappropriate admission, but she can't unsay it now. ]

[dancingmd]

[Beverly chuckles.] Well I don't know much about the Huntress, but I'm glad you are liking it here. You're part of our crew now and we look out for each other.

[steeledskin]

Like a family.

[ she answers -- a measure of confidence sliding into her voice. ]

[dancingmd]

Yes, exactly - and it's why we wanted you here. Bran's our family, and your his, so it only made sense.

[steeledskin]

I confess -- [ she measures her words with care. ] It may take some time to properly return such a depth of feeling.

[dancingmd]

Of course. [She's all gentle understanding.] Take all the time you need... and if you never get there, that's all right too. I simply don't want you to feel like you're a stranger on your own ship.
