[Video] [Accidental] [Tyrion never starts this thing on purpose.]

[tallasaking]

[The phone is only turned on when it is dropped on the floor, giving an odd view of Tyrion from the bottom up, where he is fastening expensive looking boots onto his feet. They are oddly made as well, almost as if they are to be made to work as braces instead of just fancy looking footwear.

Which, to the medically astute, they are. Yes, Tyrion had boots made to help support his rather crooked legs. That should tell you that the variety of odd jobs he's working is profitable indeed.

A small hand reaches down to pick up the phone, seeing the freshly shaven face of Tyrion, who eyes the device with a sigh.]

... Right, well, I am going down to the planet, if anyone is interested in joining me. Shuttle leaves in fifteen minutes. I hope no one took the time to look up my skirts.

[The faintest of smirks, before he shuts down the thing.]

It's a moon. Like the one we almost saw when we took the time to look up your skirts. [Best way to meet someone new.]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

Right. Moon. And I hope the view is worth it. Was worth it. [Have a smirk in turn.]

[passingthrough]

Will you be disappointed if I said I was actually checking out your boots instead? I might have to step up my space fashion game. [She's still slumming it in jumpsuits because it had been pretty low on her priority list and it's only been two months with the fleet.]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[He grinned at that, before he showed off his boots again.]

Custom made, as all things should be. I found a very nice cobbler at our last stop who was very kind. Of course this is after all the coin I dropped in his pocket so...

Video

[passingthrough]

So you bought boots and kindness? Impressive. [She looks amused at the implication.] Usually just my weapons are custom made.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

Well dear lady, you seem to be free of the ... many physical ailments I myself have. In fact you seem to have an abundance of virtues - so you would not need fancy boots to walk straight, I imagine.

Video

[passingthrough]

I feel like I should be apologetic, but then I have a feeling you're checking out an abundance of virtue south of my eyes and so I'm torn about it. [There's a smirk here.]

I'll settle on agreeing. I've been lucky. [Hated and feared for what she is, but lucky too.] Do they help?

[bryces_pup]

I dare say no one in this fleet would be so lewd enough to do such a thing. [Translation: people totally did.] That said, impressive footwear.

Video/action?

[kill_switch]

I'll be there. [It might be less about going to the planet and more about impromptu shuttle lesson, but she's jumping at the chance.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

There are an abundance of virtues south, I grant you, but your eyes are among them, so no worries on that end. [He smirked in turn.] I also like your hair if you find that shocking enough.

They do. I tend to hobble otherwise, and it pains me to walk up stairs.

Re: video

[tallasaking]

...Really? You have more faith in them than I do. [Translation: he knows.] I thank you! I do strive to impress on many levels.

Re: Video/action?

[tallasaking]

Very well Captain. We shall go moon-side together.

[passingthrough]

Flatterer.

Glad you were able to find a solution out here. [Resourceful. She appreciates that.]

I'm Kitty Pryde. I haven't seen you around. Not on the network much? [She's only been here two months, but she pays attention to the network as much as she can, trying to learn about this fleet and its people.]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[He sketched a bow.]

One should always be able to find a solution to a problem, if one thinks it through first.

[Another bow.] Tyrion Lannister, and alas, no. I tend to keep to the shadows ... or I'm rather too busy working on perfecting my engineering expertise.

Video

[passingthrough]

[Engineering is not the augment she got, but technology has always been a passion of hers and she would follow up on that if she wasn't so distracted.]

You're bowing. [This is helpful because you might not realize it.] Are you a king or something? [So, she relates it to royalty but isn't thinking through so much who a king would be bowing to and it's better than aiming too low and throwing out Duke if he's a whatever is higher than a duke.]

[kill_switch]

[She joins him in the hanger bay, scarf and goggles around her neck ready for the toxic atmosphere (which is not nearly as prepared as she should be).] Alright, I'm ready when you're ready.

[percolates]

That's one way to get attention.

[bryces_pup]

I am an optimist, what can I say? [She snickers lightly under her breath.] Were they custom made?

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

Yes, yes I am ... and by the Seven, no. Why would I ever want to be one of those? [Tyrion's lips curved into an evil little smile.] Where I come from, they are dropping like mayflies. I'd much rather be the voice behind the throne.

Video

[passingthrough]

I had no idea being a king was such dangerous work. I guess I'll cross it off my to do list.

You're a king's advisor then? We don't have a lot of royalty back home anymore. [Or systems of government or much in the way of civilization anymore.]

Re: action

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion himself had a breathing apparatus on his face, along with his boots, and a thick coat, not to mention gloves. He nodded, and got the engines started.]

If I might be so bold to inquire, Captain, what business do you have on the surface?

Re: video

[tallasaking]

My dear lady - trust me - I know at least a half a dozen better ones.

Re: action

[kill_switch]

[She's quiet as she walks beside him towards the shuttle. His apparatus and his boots and his questioning - as harmless as they might all be - together help stir some uneasy memories for Furiosa. It's a combination of Joe and Junior and Warboys and there's a brief moment in time she was back on the Rig on the Fury Road being questioned about their detour. Calm, blank face, she looks down at him, and then back to the shuttle as they reach the door. There's a pause while waiting for it to open.]

Private matters. [Not exactly untrue; if she didn't plan on telling him she was assessing his shuttle skills, or anyone else, it was indeed private.]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

Yes, please do. You are much too pretty to have your head adorning a pike.

[He tipped his chin.] A Queen's advisor, currently. I have advised ... several kings at this point.

Re: action

[tallasaking]

All right.

[And there, was all Tyrion wanted to know. If there wasn't going to be any information forthcoming, he'd keep his own council. The shuttle was handled with smooth handling - Tyrion's stubby fingers quick on the controls. He'd done this dozens of times already.

There was a pause, though, as he stared out into open space - sucked in a breath through the mask - then took them out into the open.]
