[Open] Mornings, man.

[tallasaking]

Who: Tyrion, the entire fleet
Broadcast: Open, accidental
Action: Tyrion is having a bad morning.
When: This Morning.

[The recording starts with Tyrion's small, stubby hand putting the device on the edge of the sink, tilting it upwards. All you can see is the top of his damp, curly blonde head, and the top of his scar. Then there's a sigh, before there is the sound of Tyrion's steps dragging across the bathroom floor.

After that, is the scrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeech of metal being pulled across metal, as the top of Tyrion's head comes into view again. Then the stomp stomp of Tyrion climbing what can only be the stepstool, and his tired face and slightly bloodshot eyes. He's not drunk, that much is clear, just ... tired.

He eyes the camera, and states flatly.]

There must be some universe ... where all things, can be available, according to height.

[And with that, he begins to clean his face, turning off the camera.]

Re: video

[Tyrion looked blearily at the screen - ah right. Nova. Who was ... wait.

He turned and called out behind him.] You could just walk down the hallway, Nova!

[Honestly. Communication was utterly lazy about here.]

[takeabow]

[ he can hear an irritated growl and then her stomping over ]

I was trying to avoid that.

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion snorted softly, smirking a little as he glanced at the mirror.]

Why, were you afraid of being caught out being less than put together? Why Nova, I did not think you cared for such things.

[takeabow]

No, yelling first thing in the morning.

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion eyed her in the mirror again.]

...Hm. Is this the last warning I receive before I am shoved out of an airlock?

[takeabow]

[ leans against the doorframe ]

I'll have to look into the rules about ejecting crewmates.

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion gently snipped his beard into something respectable, muttering at her reflection.]

I am more than certain the rule will be 'Don't.'

[takeabow]

You never do know.

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion paused in his grooming to eye her again.]

You are ever so terrifying. Always, not just in the morning. I really shouldn't find that attractive.

[takeabow]

[ she's a bit stunned by this. it's small but apparent. ]

Wait, what?

[tallasaking]

What, that I find frightening women attractive? I know, it's a bad personal life choice. Clearly I should go for some gentle soul who will be able to tolerate my bad humors and my ugliness. Ah well, the heart wants for what it cannot have.

[There, Nova, thrown from your game before you try to toss him out an airlock. He finishes trimming his beard, eying himself.]

Although with this I look half way towards dashing.

[takeabow]

[ she's definitely thrown for a loop ]

...Right. Well. Whatever. I'm going to get breakfast.

[tallasaking]

[He smirks at his reflection, before he snaps his fingers and yells.]

Do be as so kind as to make some coffee!

[takeabow]

[ she sticks her head back in ]

Did you just snap at me?

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion arched both eyebrows at her, then down at his fingers.]

No, Nova, I snapped at myself because it occurred to me that coffee, sweet, delicious and delectable coffee, would be necessary for me to become a human being this morning. One does not snap at a woman unless one wishes to be stabbed in one's sleep.

[takeabow]

I'm glad we're on the same page about that. And I'll think about the coffee.

[tallasaking]

Just as long as you do not consider tossing it in my face? I shall be grateful.

[takeabow]

[ he gets a little smile ]

I'm grumpy, not sadistic. Probably.

[tallasaking]

See it's the 'probably' that keeps me from pushing things too far ...

[takeabow]

That's the idea.

[ she'll go and find something to eat, and yes, will brew some coffee. no guarantee it'll be good ]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion returns about an hour later, looking perturbed. He nods absently at Nova, before going to try the coffee.

Which he looks at, after sipping.]

... well, that will put additional hair on my chest.

[takeabow]

You don't like it?

[tallasaking]

I did not say that. I just said it is ... as it is, strong. [He took another sip, and sighed.] Which frankly I could use.

[takeabow]

Coffee could be hard to get at home, so I'm probably not the best person to make it.

[tallasaking]

Well, something to know in the future. When I wish to be awake for the next twenty hours -- go to Nova.
