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.

[He looked over at her, before he put a hand to his chest.]

Nova, I consider you a friend. I would never send you off to battle with sub-par weaponry. I want you to live.

[takeabow]

Well, obviously. But there's a difference between serviceable and perfect.

You consider me a friend?

[tallasaking]

That I cannot deny -- but I at least want it to shoot the arrows somewhere nearer to the target.

[One eyebrow raises.]

I do not make weapons for my enemies, Nova.

[takeabow]

I'm not saying we're not.

[ which is probably the best he'll get from her ]

[tallasaking]

Mm. Good.

[And he'll just be smiling around the edge of his cup here, Nova.]

[takeabow]

Thanks for all the work you're putting into this.

[tallasaking]

You are quite welcome. Just do me a favor.

[Pause.]

Do not die.

[takeabow]

[ she's sincere when she responds ]

Turns out I'm especially good at not dying.

[tallasaking]

I am glad to hear it.

[takeabow]

Have you lost anyone here?

[tallasaking]

Just one friend, so far. [He is quiet for a moment.] Another has asked me to kill him if he becomes evil. I am not entirely certain how I feel about that - but he's a kind ... person. I would hate to see him any other way.

[takeabow]

Sometimes they're not who you know anymore.

[tallasaking]

Yes, I suppose sometimes they are. [He sighed softly.]

[takeabow]

Well, I hope you don't have to do anything like that. Does he think it's a high likelihood?

[tallasaking]

I have the feeling he is simply being ... overprotective? [He swirled the wine around in his cup.] But he is an odd fellow, so I will guess he knows himself better than I know him.

[takeabow]

Fair enough.

Well, like I said, not getting killed is the thing I'm known best for at home.

[tallasaking]

How very odd - so am I. [He smirked at her knowingly.] I doubt you talk yourself out of those situations however.

[takeabow]

[ actually... that's intriguing ]

No, I'm more of an action-taker.

What's your story?

[tallasaking]

I remain unsurprised by that answer.

[His lips curve up.]

A number of variations on - 'I am innocent.' It has worked more times than I can count.

[takeabow]

Unfortunately, where I'm from, no one cares if you're innocent or not.

[tallasaking]

Oh they didn't care either. That is why I had to poke holes in their arguments and convince one person of my innocence. That person usually stepped forward to save my miserable hide.

[takeabow]

More than once?

[tallasaking]

[He tips his head.] You have seen how I frustrate people... naturally, more than once.

[takeabow]

Well, I'm glad you managed to escape those situations.

[tallasaking]

My dear Nova, no one can be more glad than I that I did.
