[Excuse the owlish-eyed girl with the weird pasted-on smile. She has things to talk about!]

Attention...!

I will not use names, because I don't want to embarrass them, b-but...! I needed to tell a very particular pilot something very important! And that is this: if you do d-decide to propose to Miss L — to, ummmm... to your girlfriend, you should not give her a ring made out of spaceship parts. Because that's kind of strange to wear. I believe that sort of advice should be applied to everyone, though...!

Unless the person you love really, really, really enjoys spaceships.

I suppose we should all wear what makes us happy!

I do admit, I've always wanted jewelry... I-I mean, I know they're very expensive most of the time, but I've never gotten to wear any before. Maybe I should make some! Oh, but I don't think I would be very good at it... Is there a particular way to make nice jewelry, even for someone like me? Necklaces and rings and....

....

I don't think I can wear earrings. That seems like it would hurt.

Ah!! I apologize, I guess I've been thinking so much about different topics! Like — games, and stories, and stuff to wear, and so many new things that I've never gotten to enjoy myself before. I think I even have.... friends! Do I? Is there a level that I need to reach with people before I can be friends with them? P-perhaps there's a way to officiate friendships...

Maybe with rings, like marriage! Friendship rings!!

[She glances away, but her expression is still content.]

I'm on the Huntress! They all treat me very well.

I'm very lucky to have nakama like them.

[bryces_pup]

Good. But, what is nakama? I've never heard the term.

[She's totally not from a shonen manga, can you tell?]

[scrubscrub]

Nakama! You know, your crew. When you're nakama, you're family.

It's a very, very important word. It means willing to fight for them!

[bryces_pup]

[Nakama. It sounds strange when she says it; it's so unlike any word or phrase in any tongue back in Thedas. But the meaning? It hits close to home.]

I think I know what you mean. There are people I would consider nakama back home. And perhaps even a few that are slowly becoming such here.

[She nods, flashing one of her more genuine smiles.]

The people on my crew are my nakama! We have to look out for each other.
