Comments

[grandstanding]

I don't like guns either. Humans are altogether too fond of them.

[He smirks slightly, amused by her evident interest.] I'll be sure to keep an eye out for one at the next place we land.

[aigue]

Excluding yourself, apparently.

[Her toes are metaphorically crossed that this can be pulled off.] Excellent! I wouldn't be much help in getting one, but let me know how that goes.

[grandstanding]

I'm not human. [The correction comes quick and calm.]

You can owe me a favour, if you prefer.

[aigue]

No? What are you? [You smell human, boy.]

Oh, I don't think that's necessary. This is obviously for the good of the entire ship.

[And she also doesn't want to owe any favours if she can help it.]

[grandstanding]

[That's so rude, foxy.]

I'm a mutant. Many of us look human, but not all do.

Obviously. [He sees that evasion. Were it something else, that he had no inclination of doing for his own sake, this would be the end of the conversation.] In the meantime, there is the existing fridge.

[aigue]

Oh, like the other one here? [Charles, she means Charles.] What can you do?

Sadly. [Sigh, it is so tiny.] I doubt any of you would like to see some dead vermin in there, would you?

[grandstanding]

If you mean Charles, yes. We're not the only two on the Fleet. My mutation is control over metal and magnetic fields.

The ones running around this ship?

[aigue]

That must come in handy when we're surrounded by metal.

Yes, I do. They're very tasty.

[grandstanding]

It does indeed. [It may have its artificial limits on the ships, but it's more than enough to make him secure. He doesn't need to carry weapons. He can weaponize everything around him.]

Considering how small the fridge is, not the best idea. But if we get the larger one, you can reserve a space for them.

[aigue]

[Someone is actually telling her putting gross dead ratthings in the place they store food is A-OK. That's a first.]

I'll keep that in mind, then.
