You don't need my permission to have lunch. I have no authority over how you spend your time. As for what you've prepared, we could share the food you've made between us, and I could find another cup so we could share the tea as well. How does that sound?

[she follows to the table, not taking a seat just yet; she's going to find a cup as soon as she knows where the kitchen is. before that, though:]

Koala? It's lovely to meet you. My name is Adelina, I've been assigned to security.

Adelina, thank you! It's lovely to meet you too.

[She sits down slowly, looking a little sheepish.]

I-I've been told the same before... that I don't need permission! I've been trying to be better and get used to normal life. I apologize if I'm awkward. I'm very sorry for that! [She claps her hands together, relaxing a fraction despite her keeping up an unnaturally cheery grin.] I would -- enjoy the tea! I can fetch another cup; you don't have to move!

[And before Adelina can say otherwise, she's hopping over to the counter to fetch said cup.]

Security is very important, I think. It helps keep our ship safe.

You don't need to apologize, and you have nothing to be sorry for.

[she moves to stop her from getting the cup, about to say something - but then it's too late. oops. she'll get you next time, gadget!!

she does gesture for the cup so she can pour some of the tea into it, at least.]


Please, allow me. [and then:] I think maintenance is just as important. You must be a very valued member of the ship.

[R-right! Nothing to be sorry for. She breathes in deeply.]

I apolo—! I, I mean... I'm not very good at m-meeting new people yet.

Thank you for your patience.

[She passes over the cup quickly.]

I would like to think so, miss. I suppose I am! I keep the ship clean.

[Which is why it is like, insanely clean.]

I don't think that's true. You've been very kind to me, offering me food and a drink. Anyone who tried to say you weren't good at meeting new people would be simply rude.

[pouring some of the tea into the cup and setting it on the side of the table koala is sitting on]

You do a very good job at that. I've noticed how cleanly this place is. Shouldn't you enlist some help, though, given how large the ship is?

[She shakes her head with a more genuine smile, humored.]

Oh, they help sometimes! They don't like when I work too much...

[After a cautious moment, she takes a sip of the tea.]

But I don't m-mind. It's what I'm good at. It's almost a... gut reaction, I guess!
bloodbiter: (you vase of sticky shit)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-03-23 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear that. Since I'm among their number now, I would be happy to give you a helping hand if you ever need one.

[she tilts her head a bit as koala continues on, though.]

A gut reaction?

[She nods.]

I was a slave before this, ma'am. Th-though I am learning, I... am still having trouble adapting. [That is why this place -- this ship -- it's scarily clean. She can't really help herself; she needs a job sometimes... most times. It keeps her occupied.] I am very sorry if I'm... awkward.

[her expression grows gentler, more sympathetic.]

Take all the time you need. Nobody will blame you for having difficulties, but all of us will be there to support you as you continue to learn and grow.

[She ducks her head, giving a small nod of gratitude.]

Thank you so much, miss. I won't let you down!

-- Ah! Don't let your tea get too cold.
