[Broadcast to the Entire Fleet]
… we're gonna die, we're all gonna die... [There's some pathetic whimpering over the network. Did he accidentally turn on his phone, or is something else recording him? Either way, it's clear he's unaware he's being recorded. He's curled up in a ball in the pilot's seat with his chin resting on his knees, but then slowly uncoils with a heavy sigh.]

We'll be okay, right? He wouldn't... try to hurt any of us. [pause] … at least not me, since I'm the pilot, but I don't want the others to get hurt either.

[He gives a displeased hum and tosses his head back against the backrest.] Why did this have to happen?

[Around the Ship]
[Tsuna is making his way stealthily along. He's... actually making an effort to hide himself and check around the corners, but only because he's anxious. He'd never be able to pull this sort of thing off if he were sneaking for any other reason.

You could probably spook him if you walk quietly enough, but that would be mean. (do it)]

[Fenris doesn't wear shoes. It's an elf thing. So his steps are very quiet. He's not out to get Tsuna, of course, but he does need to pass him to get to the kitchen so he can eat.

He doesn't even assume Tsuna's nervousness is about him. He's already decided Tsuna is just odd. He'll just brush past him, silent as a cat.]

[Private Broadcast to Riku]
Yo. You have a minute? I'm assuming you're aware of current events, I just wanted to compare notes.

[Private Broadcast to Varric]
So I had a little chat with your pal Fenris. He's a real charmer. This is just me hoping you can confirm that he's not the bloodthirsty maniac his recent stunt makes him look like; I'm a bit concerned about safety, you understand.

-- HIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!

[stumbles backwards, and falls on his butt]

[He scrambles backwards]

Y-Y-Y-Y-You!

[ ugh, private broadcast... riku already knows he's not liking this. he looks tired, shoulders slumped as he sits in the armory. ]

'Current events'? Be specific.

[He throws his arms over his head.]

Pl-please don't beat me up!

[... man he is really pathetic without his gloves. well. more pathetic]

Specifically current events involving your captain and my security officer, whose qualifications for the job are seriously in question at the moment.

At least you know he's a good assassin.

One assassin is more than enough for a ship, if you ask me. I don't like people elbowing in on my territory.

How much do you know about what happened? I was watching the network feed and stumbled upon a few clips from what looked like an accidental video stream, but all I really caught were the results, I didn't actually see what happened.

[Maker's balls that was LOUD! Fenris winces, tensing for whatever is attacking them, until he realises...nothing is. He gives Tsuna a disdainful look, cowering pathetically on the floor like a child.]

I have already told Axel, I have no intention on harming anyone upon this ship. Aside from almost bursting my eardrums, none of you have posed a threat to me.

[This is just like Hightown, all over again. You kill a few people, you leave their corpses hanging around the mansion you stole and everyone looks at you funny.]

Believe me, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done so already.

[fenris......... he's 16...

also F--- on reassuring]

Ah-h-h... th-th-that's good to know...

[wants to run away... but too scared to move...]

[That's old enough to swing a sword in Thedas, get it together, Tsuna.]

I am sure. Shall I leave you to your pathetic cowering?

[nope]

A-ah...

[Looks like he's... actually not going to kill him?? still apprehensive though, and not sure what to say back...]

[Ugh. Fenris hates other people. So much.]

I had my reasons for doing it, none of which you are guilty of, I'm sure.

[He's just going to turn into the kitchen, muttering in Tevene to himself.]

[He perks up when Fenris starts moving away, then swallows. Gather up your courage, Tsuna...]

U-um, can I ask why?

[so... you know, he doesn't accidentally do it in the future]

Robin told me what happened. He's alive.

[Fenris pauses, exhaling.]

He was keeping a slave, here in the Fleet. That is something I cannot allow.

--Wait, he is? [He gives a low whistle.] I'm impressed; it looked pretty messy. Well, I guess that's one thing out of the way. I talked to the nutjob who attacked him. He gives me the heebie jeebies, but he assured me he's not just some bloodthirsty rampaging maniac.

Not sure I believe him.

He said Robin was keeping a slave, though. [He arches one eyebrow.] You know anything about that?

[ riku presses the heel of his hand against his eye. ]

I didn't. I didn't until he told me why someone killed him.

But I know this much: I looked in his heart, sensed everything. He's not a bad person--he's not evil. He said he was doing it because the person he was keeping couldn't take care of himself.

I don't think keeping a... [ riku's voice just falters, and his shoulders hunch. god, he hates that word. ] I don't think keeping him was right, but I've met him. I don't know if he could take care of himself with someone around.

[Fenris has been, by and large, avoiding his crewmates. He is fine with this, truly. He is not a sociable creature, and is well used to being a ghost, wherever he sets up residence. Usually, he is in his armory, sitting on the make-shift bed he has made for himself, alone with his thoughts. He wishes he had a book, so he could at least work on his reading a little. But he doesn't, so for now he will content himself with silence.

Of course, he has to eat, so his crew might be fortunate enough to see him head to the kitchens when he's hungry, to try and make a meal of the not-food they have. He eats in silence, making no attempt to start any conversation. He's not winning any camaraderie points right now, and he doesn't much care.]

You looked... into his heart. [Axel just stares into the feed a moment, ala Jim from the Office. Then,] Huh. You don't say.

I don't really think it's right either, but I don't think it's worth killing somebody over, especially if they can't really take care of themselves in the first place. I didn't think Robin was a particularly bad guy, for what it's worth, I'm just tryin' to get the facts straight.

Fenris, though, the guy that ki-- [Record scratch.] Wait. You said he wasn't dead. How can someone have killed him if he's not dead?

[That startles Tsuna right out of his prior fear.]

Wha--? Something like that, on the Fleet?

[Slavery... well, there were probably some mafia families that did human trafficking, but he never thought something like this would come up and hit him in the face. Not so soon.

Tsuna will get off the floor... eventually.]

[ riku groans lightly. ]

He came back to life. Don't ask me.

I don't think he should've killed anyone, but I'm not so sure Robin should've kept him, either. This is a big mess.

Right. Came back to life. [He sort of scratches his head, then shrugs.] I guess whatever works. [Captain Zombie.]

This Fenris guy gives me the heebie jeebies, though. I talked to him--doesn't say much, listens even less, I think. He says he's got no quarrel with anybody else, but the truth is I don't like him on my ship. [He doesn't like him on any ship. He just plain doesn't really like him. But that is neither here nor there.] Do you know if they talked about anything else? Him and Robin, I mean. Before he went all Temple of Doom on him.
