First Breath mingle!

[gifted_witch]

Who: Lily Evans and the crew of the First Breath and whoever else shows up.
Broadcast: Fleetwide but Action in the galley
Action: Dinner is served! With a special treat for the Captain.
When: May 22nd


Hello! [Lily waved to the screen, there seemed to be some smoke..no steam rising to occasionally fog the lense. She was dusting her hands off on a towel before she tossed it onto her shoulder.]

Well, exciting month last month eh? Parties, dances and meeting all sorts of new friends. I didn't want to do anything until all that fun had worn off; but I may have managed to obtain some things to help ease the space travel after such lavish offerings. [And with that the camera pans down and around, hey she's gotten good at this since her arrival! And there is food, not as grand as the tables at the party but still quite a spread of breads, pastries, cheese and real meat.]

And as a special gift, Captain Furiosa, [She raised a small fruit in her hand. A peach, three others were on the table next to a plate of grilled peaches and popovers.] All food is available in the galley, stop on by when you get a chance.

Action

[tallasaking]

For Lily

Tyrion enters the kitchen, pulls up a stool to be next to Lily herself, climbs up on it and kisses her fondly and warmly on the cheek.

"Have I mentioned today that I adore you, my very best friend, Lily Evans? Because I absolutely do."

For Everyone else

Tyrion has contributed to the small feast with a bottle or two of wine, and some fruit juice as well. How he got that? You may never know. Or just may never want to ask him.

Either way, he is happily eating a plate with a book in front of him, a glass of wine before him. Today is an Excellent Day.

Action

[takeabow]

[ she has a plate of food as well ]

Thinking of sharing the wine?

Re: Action

[tallasaking]

[In answer to that - he pulls over another cup and pours Nova a generous amount, before nudging it over to the seat right across from him.]

So ... I met someone the other day who looks exactly like you, right down to the scowl. Different coloring, however. [Is his opening statement.]

[takeabow]

[ sits and takes a drink of the wine ]

That's unsettling.

[tallasaking]

Even more so when she told me that she was making sure that I was not another person who apparently looks just like me - with different coloring and with the lack of scars.

[He gestured to her with his cup.]

This is an odd place we are in, my dear Nova.

[takeabow]

It is. I don't really like it.

Who is she?

[tallasaking]

Raven Darkholme. She is quite beautiful, and quite dangerous.

[Rather like the young woman in front of him.]

She did give me some ideas for your bow, however. As did the others.

[takeabow]

I haven't met her, but I haven't really been out looking around.

What kinds of ideas?

[tallasaking]

I am finding it wiser to do so ... it keeps me so better informed.

Changing out the bow from wood to metal - it will give it more strength and versatility as a weapon, and give you the accuracy you desire.

[gifted_witch]

She leaned to make that kiss a bit easier and then grinned.

"Not until just now, so you are clearly behind quota." Lily tugged a cloth off a plate of meat (she really isn't sure what but it smells something like beef) and a starchy sort of tuber that passed for potatoes if you squinted, green and violet color aside.

"Thought you might like something more like home."

[tallasaking]

He looks down at that plate, with meat and potatoes, and very nearly bites his own fist. Then he looks up at her.

"You really do love me, don't you?"

[gifted_witch]

"If only I were older or you were younger or perhaps if I liked you a bit less." She snickered and took the liberty of pouring herself some of the wine he so graciously brought and adding food to her own plate.

[tallasaking]

"Always my curse, right there." He gave her a wry little smile, as he went to grab a fork and begin to cut up his food. "I am always too well liked to be lusted and loved for. Admiration for my wisdom and my ... wiles."

[gifted_witch]

"It is with no shame that I admit you are too much man for me. But as a friend I could never ask for better. And your judgement is sometimes better than my own." In this place it has been at any rate.

[tallasaking]

He looks over at her at that statement, before he snorts out a laugh, "You had me until you said 'too much of a man', Lily. But well done otherwise." He smiles as he takes a bite, and then lets out a happy noise. "... You are an amazing friend as well, and cook. The Seven bless you."

[gifted_witch]

"At this point I am thinking all men are too much man for me." She shrugged. "But I'd like to find one like you I think." She was glad to see him enjoy the food, maybe it was her way to let people know someone cared about them without all the awkwardness of talking about it. She thought briefly about cooking something for Alistair, she hadn't talked to him recently, so she put her mind to doing that later.

"Seven? I'm not familiar with that phrase."

[tallasaking]

"Oh really? Now what brought this on?" He arched an eyebrow at her, as he went to sit down and gestured for her to join him. He did give her a crooked smile for the compliment, and bowed from his seated position. "As I would like to find someone like you, Lily. Older though. And who does not think of me as an older brother."

He puts his plate down so he can continue to eat, pausing to explain. "That is what we call our gods when we wish to invoke all of them at the same time."

Action

[kill_switch]

[She's there - with peaches, and watches Tyrion with a small bit of apprehension. She is at least trying to make an effort not to be so intimidating, but of course that's always a struggle.]

What are you reading?

Re: Action

[tallasaking]

[He looks up when Furiosa speaks, and offers her a mild smile, before he flips the book up for her perusal. It is, of all things, a book of poetry by Robert Frost. Someone he has not heard of before today, but he is trying to broaden his horizons.]

Re: Action

[kill_switch]

[She takes the book carefully and flips through it, keeping a finger in place so she won't lose Tyrion's spot. It's been a while since she's read something like this, but some of the little phrases and verses sound vaguely familiar. She flips it back open to his spot and slides it across the table to him.]

Good stuff.

Re: Action

[tallasaking]

[He takes a sip of wine, comfortable and relaxed as he can be. A little smile as he takes the book back from her, and flips the page back to where it belongs.]

He speaks to me. I had forgotten how words could do that.

Action

[kill_switch]

[She remembered books. She remembered reading. She can't say he's wrong in his assessment, that she hadn't lost herself in words before.]

It's been a while since I've enjoyed a good book. I should get back into it since I've actually got time to relax now.

Re: Action

[tallasaking]

[He looked at her, eyebrows raised in surprise. Then that sparked into quiet interest.]

Well, I have plenty of books that I parse out through the library. Feel free to borrow any of mine.

Re: Action

[kill_switch]

[Yes, Tyrion, she is full of surprises. She's also trying to be nicer, is it working?]

[She looks at him, allows herself a small smile.]

Thank you, I'd like that.

Re: Action

[tallasaking]

[She certainly is. And ... mostly? He has this feeling like she is trying to possibly lower his defenses to murder him.

Or not.]

[He crooks a smile at her in turn.]

You are welcome. Feel free to take whatever catches your eye.
