[mikangirl]

Yeah. [Flatly. She knows it all turns out in the end at home, but the Koala of the here and now...]

So they suck. Pulling a traumatised kid in just for ratings. [She rests her head against the wall with a sigh, and then tilts it to smile tiredly at Kurt.]

But she's got a crew that'll look out for her, right?

[digthefuzz]

[He cups his own face in his hands for a moment. He feels a rare rage towards the Atroma... but he feels grief for Koala's situation even more.

He lifts his head and gives a soft smile back to the Naminator.]

Of course she does. I promise... I'll do anything I can to help.

[He raises his hand in a random salute.]

Captain's honor. ...Good captain's honor.

[mikangirl]

[Congrats Kurt, that earned you a faint snort of amusement, and her smile turns more genuine.]

Well, as long as it's the good one.

Thanks, Kurt. [...] How are you going to manage that, anyway?

[The whole co-captain thing.]

[digthefuzz]

[He pauses for a moment and then scratches his head, as if trying to remember an answer for a test.]

...Carefully?

[mikangirl]

[Snrk.]

Well, good luck. Maybe you can put in an application to un-captain him.

[Yeah she's only kidding. You'd just cause more trouble.]

[digthefuzz]

[He snorts.]

That'd be something! Maybe we can trick him into signing a... um... toilet cleaner application!

[mikangirl]

[Pffft.]

I'd be going to another ship for all my bathroom needs if you did that. [Never put a pissed off person in charge of your hygiene.]

[digthefuzz]

...When you put it that way, maybe it's not the best idea in the book...

[mikangirl]

Keep working on it, though! A person who cheats at snowballs with the flair you do should have no trouble.

[digthefuzz]

H-hey, like you're one to talk!

[mikangirl]

I'm a pirate. What do you expect?

[digthefuzz]

Eyepatches and sword waving?

[mikangirl]

Not that I wouldn't look awfully cute in an eyepatch, but mostly the answer I was looking for was cheating dishonourable wench.

[digthefuzz]

Hey now, don't say that.

...

...You're a cheating dishonorable lady.

[mikangirl]

Oh, so suave! I knew there was a reason I liked you.

[digthefuzz]

[He chuckles nervously, but goes on with no lack of confidence.]

W-well, I guess that you could say that being charming is just another power of mine...

[mikangirl]

It would be more effective if you didn't stammer halfway through.

[digthefuzz]

Hey, I only stammered at the beginning! ...Well, maybe that doesn't make much of a difference... but I can totally be charming! [He smiles, and there's probably something stuck on his teeth.]

[mikangirl]

Depends on where you define the start of your charmingness. [She grins.] Eaten any leafy vegetables lately?

[digthefuzz]

Um... maybe. But how did you know? ...Or actually, what does that have to do with anything?

[mikangirl]

[She grins at him sunnily, and taps her two front teeth delicately.]

[digthefuzz]

What...? What's going...? [But he trails off as he mimics his gesture and feels something on his teeth.]

Oh no! [He quickly flusters and bamfs into the nearby bathroom.]

[mikangirl]

[HUEHUHEUE thanks Kurt she's in a lot better mood now. She'll just head to Koala's room snickering all the way.]
