[He laughs a little] Quite a bit, really. The last place I was was a magic castle with little to do and unlimited amounts of alcohol. Things...escalated a lot.

[A lot a lot]

That sounds serious. You seemed like you were having a good time at the masquerade when I talked to you. [But that was early in the evening, before him and Clay skipped out]

[bryces_pup]

Magic and alcohol? Now that's... pretty dangerous.

[Two wonderful things that had the ability to cause untold destruction.]

I was. It just... a conversation happened, and I did not handle it as I should have.

[save_the_souls]

...I see.

[Okay guess she's gonna keep that pent up. Alright]

Oh yeah, it certainly was. [He gives a nod] I remember my sixteenth birthday. There was someone holding some...blind date event. And my friend thought it'd be funny to put my name in.

Well my date turned out to be...another comrade that he had also put in! This very angry, unfriendly guy. And he wanted to do it even less than I did, so he decided to get pissed drunk beforehand. And then some girls decided to help him get ready and...

[And awkward gesture]

Let's just say when I met up with my blind date, he pulled a sword on me while wearing a very pink, very puffy ballgown.

[bryces_pup]

[Yeah, she is done talking about that. Her feelings just explode and it makes a mess and what good does it do?

Not the healthiest attitude, admittedly...]

A-

[The mental image, even though she has no idea what this guy looks like, is enough to earn a few giggles out of her. It's probably the first time she's laughed in a few days.]

They managed to fit him into such a thing?

[save_the_souls]

[oh yeah, he was hoping it'd get some laughter out of her]

Somehow. Heels and a bow in his hair too.

[bryces_pup]

Impressive! Maker, he must have been drunk out of his mind.

[save_the_souls]

I'd imagine so. We never talked about it again, so I don't know if he choose to forget about it, or was too drunk to remember.

[It's a mystery, really]

Needless to say, there wasn't a second date.

[bryces_pup]

If fate was kind to him, it was the latter. Alcohol is usually good for that at least.

[She would know. BA DUM TISH]

No? What a pity. I'm sure he would have looked just as lovely for your next date.

[save_the_souls]

[He snorts]

No way. I think he actually would've killed me if it happened again.

[bryces_pup]

Seems a bit harsh, especially considering the first time was hardly your fault. Speaking of dates, though...

[Uh oh.]

I've seen you with a particular man quite often on the ship.

[save_the_souls]

That wouldn't matter to him.

[Kanda is what Kanda is. No changing that. But anyway, following the subject change-!]

Ah- have you?

[bryces_pup]

Mmhmmm. [Look her love life is an AU clusterfuck, at best. She's just gonna live vicariously through others now.] He seems rather handsome, and you two seem... close.

[save_the_souls]

[Go ahead Riona, god knows it's what Sokka does.]

Ah. I think I know who you mean. He is rather handsome, isn't he?

That'd be Clay. He's my boyfriend.

[bryces_pup]

[CALLED IT. Not that it wasn't fairly obvious.]

It seems our medics have been lucky in love. You do realize now you must tell me all about him?

[save_the_souls]

Ha, it sure seems that way.

[He sure knows Beverly is head over heels for Daneel. And he smiles. Sure, if it helps Riona get distracted from what's bugging her]

Alright. He's an astronaut- er, he studies space for a living. He's also the captain of the Vanquish. It's been about....eight or nine months now?

[bryces_pup]

Oh, so he knows all about how these ships work? [Fascinating! Someone who actually knows what all of this space nonsense does?] That's a good amount of time to be together. And clearly things are going well if it's been that long. How did it start?

[save_the_souls]

Mm! He knows a lot! Maybe not about Atroma specifically, but- he's a very useful guy to have around!

[Aw yeah, boyfriend is smart and competent and relevant it's great]

Ah-well, it was a bit of a blind date. My best friend really wanted to get me dating again. So she set me up on a few dates and- well, Clay and I really hit it off! [...Yeah! A surprisingly normal story coming from an anime-looking dude]

[bryces_pup]

[It's damn adorable is what it is.]

At least that blind date went well! [Unlike the one with the guy in the pink poofy dress.] Your friend apparently knows you pretty well, too.

[save_the_souls]

I'd hope so! We've known each other for about...eight years now?

Just be careful. She's really nice, but she's got a real matchmaker streak to her.

[bryces_pup]

[She smiles at his "warning" but it doesn't quite reach her eyes.]

Duly noted, but I think I'll be all right. What's her name?

[save_the_souls]

Ino. She's the captain of the Three Twins- she visits sometimes. You haven't met her yet?

[He smiles]

I guess I need to get better at introducing people.

[bryces_pup]

I may have seen her, but no, I don't think we've met. Feel free to practice your introductions on me.

[save_the_souls]

I will. You'd like Ino. Clay too. They're really good people. I'm lucky to have them.

[He offers her a kind smile] Though I'm also lucky to know this crew too.

[bryces_pup]

I'm looking forward to meeting them, then. [She always likes meeting new people. One never knows what they'll found out when they talk to a stranger.]

As am I. I'm not sure how I would have fared without all of you here, especially in the beginning.

[save_the_souls]

Ah, you weren't so bad when you got here. When I first got here? I was fashioning every usable object I could find to be a weapon and stashing them all over the place, just in case.

[And now he just has more weapons in his bedroom than possibly the armory! Progress!!]
