~~[Hello everyone it's your fave weird smiling 11-year-old.]~~

I... just wanted to say — I did it, Mr. Greed! I finally got Top 10 in pinball, sir, just like you requested! [It's true, ~~thanks to Han~~ she's completely overtaken the scoreboards; hallelujah.] I, um, got all top 10 spots, too! Just in case you wanted me to have all ten... I'm sorry, my memory's a little fuzzy... I'm very sorry! But I did it. I'm glad I can finally move on to my next chore on my to-do list... I keep hearing these distant pinball machine noises in my head, b-but then I realize I'm just tired.

I didn't know games would be so hard! It was very frustrating... I almost frowned through it...

[She chucks very faintly, smiling wide.]

It's too bad that we're no longer near a planet. I-I think my crew would be very happy to have more games on board, like pinball. Or maybe better smelling clothing detergent. I like the kind that smells like flowers. I'll remember for the next place we stop by!

[AH, RIGHT. ANYWAY.]

Actually, I was... going to come on here for a request. If that's okay.

Ah. Well.

....

We need a new blender on the Huntress.

...

A-and if anyone has any spare table cloths, we could trade for those as well. There are large holes in the table currently.

...

And if anyone has something to help remove scorch marks...

[This ship is a f$%*ing mess.]

I think so, yes...! After all, I need to be able to handle more. I have good endurance for cleaning, but if I gain more strength and stamina I would be less of a liability aboard the ship!

... it's a good goal, but I don't go easy on those that I train or regulate.

State again that you're committed, without just saying 'I think'.

[Don't go easy? Well... That sounds scary.]

Yes, sir. I'll commit, sir!

[ You brave child. ]

Very well. As one of the cooks it'll be easy for me to monitor your diet. You'll eat everything I give you and nothing else.

Oh, yes! I can do that, Mr. Sasuke.

If it will help me become stronger and more capable for my crew, it won't be a problem.

[She was a slave at Mariejois, food control is probs hardly something to bat an eye at.]

[ Sure, he finds obsequiousness obnoxious but if she's working towards a genuine goal then he can accept that, used to having his orders followed anyway. ]

Do you have any diseases or have you received drugs or been the subject of any extensive alteration or experimentation? [ uh. just checking. ]

[Aaaahm... Is there.... anything....]

Alteration? Um. I have a very large burn scar on my back, sir! A brand.

But I haven't been given drugs in a very long time, though, because I learned how to listen to orders very well.

[ That quiets him for a moment, still remaining largely expressionless but he focuses on her for a few seconds. ]

... I see. Neither of those should affect you now, so that's what you should keep in mind. Those things are in the past.

You're becoming something else, now.

[She nods.]

Yes, sir! I understand.

[She has no clue what 'something else' will mean later, but she's still at least set on working hard and becoming a better crewmate.]

[ It's Sasuke, so it means he's going to try to make her better and probably end up making her worse. ]

Don't say you understand if you don't. [ Just as an aside. ]

... you're far behind for someone as old as you are, in a lot of ways.

I understand!

[nice try sasuke but she'll say it forever]

I'll do my best to catch up and do well on behalf of the crew! And the fleet.

[ gdi ]

Improve on behalf of yourself as well. If you can become something better than you are and you aren't doing it, you're wasting yourself.

[bless your twistedly awkward heart sasuke, have a gold star]

Yes sir, I will remember that! I will become something better!

[WHY NOT, IT'LL KEEP ME SAFE(R).]

[ There's a decent center underneath all that... Sasuke-ness. ]

Time will tell. You'll just need to work hard, perhaps doubly so. Some people underestimate women but if you've trained a lot then you can use that to your advantage.

I can work hard, Mr. Sasuke. That much I can promise!

It's always important to do one's best.

[ ... these all still just sound like recited lines to him and he has no idea if he should believe them or not, holding in a lingering sigh as always. ]

Very well. Your first tests will start soon and we'll see how committed you are.
