I hope Sokka talks to him about it then... Though these past few weeks.

He's hurting, isn't he? [ ... ] I would be, were I him.

[ and yet she also suspects she's far weaker than their captain. ]
dancingmd: (he has to wake up)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-07-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Beverly nods.]

I think he's hurting more than he lets on.

[ that makes sense. and yet, she must ask: ] What makes you believe so?
dancingmd: (he has to wake up)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-07-16 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Have you tried to talk to him directly about it? He is quick to deflect it on another member of the crew - that you should worry about them instead, that they're having a hard time.

Which is not in itself a bad thing. It's good he is always thinking of our well-being, but he must think of himself too.

Have you told him so?
dancingmd: (sad smile)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-07-20 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I have in the past, yes... but perhaps it is time to remind him again.

[personal profile] steeledskin 2016-07-27 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mayhaps we could remind him together.

[She smiles softly.]

Maybe. He won't be able to stand against two determined redheads, now will he?

[ her laughter is wry -- tickled, but hollow. ]

What has the colour of our hair to do with it, my lady?
dancingmd: (puck)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-08-10 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs too, short and slightly apologetic.]

Ah - it's a... stereotype in my world, that redheads are feisty and stubborn - not someone you want to argue with.

Like fire. [ her smile is small -- she understands the impression, then, even if she doesn't adhere to it. ] I fear I am less like fire and more like copper.

[ cool and almost-reflective. there is little flame left to her. ]
dancingmd: (talk to me)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-08-13 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
No doubt copper has its own means of persuasion.

[personal profile] steeledskin 2016-08-14 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it? [ her chin tilts. ] If so, I have not found it yet.

[ she lies. she knows half-routes to persuasion. she uses them even now, feigning innocence in order to ingratiate herself. ]
dancingmd: (smile)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-08-19 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're an intelligent young woman. I'm sure you'll find a way.
steeledskin: (# la belle evangeline)

Mayhaps, I would. Back in Westeros. But the ways are all different, here.
dancingmd: (Default)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-08-25 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

[Her smile comes with a hint of embarrassment.]

No doubt you have heard Robb and I argue about such things before.
steeledskin: (# and i move fast)

-- He has a bold tongue. [ it's almost an apology, but not quite. ] And he's proud. And he has a bit of fire in his hair, too, I suppose.

[ not as much as sansa, but it's there in the highlights. ]
dancingmd: (smile)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2016-08-31 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beverly doesn't expect an apology, nor does she need one. No crew is ever going to get along perfectly, but that doesn't mean she's upset with Robb.]

Maybe just a little. Nonetheless, I'm glad he is on our ship.
