[Video] [Public and Private]

To The Fleet

[Tyrion is looking a little ... frazzled today. He's as neat as always, but his expression sort of has the range of 'shit shit shit shit shit' on it. Still, he kept a very straight face and a pleasant tone as he speaks.] Just to let everyone know, Captain Furiosa appears to be ... missing. Altogether. I will be stepping up as First Mate with Captain duties until she returns.

[Please, please let her return soon. Tyrion was always leery of leadership positions. He preferred to be the voice behind the throne.]

So, any questions, problems, captain meetings that should be attended? Let me know.

[And end feed...]

Private to SS First Breath

Well. All right. I'm in charge. So ... keep doing what you were doing before. all right?

[He smiled tightly.] And we'll just keep on as always until she returns. Good. Status, ah, reports?

[Tyrion would have, if Kitty had been a spiteful sort of person to bring that it should have been worse, stated that these men wore gauntlets, that they would have used clubs, that he would have been crippled worse than he already was or would have died. That he had to be watched to make sure that he dropped his pants, that he did the deed ... that he had been limp the entire time. That he sobbed in his room, over the lie that she never loved him and over the truth of his crime.

Kitty wasn't spiteful, and Tyrion wasn't going to spit all the vitrol he had for his father over on her. So he shook his head.

You wanted to make sure I wasn't a monster. Now you know I am one, and what a sad little monster I am. [He looked at her, straight on, his expression grim.] What I have fought against to become, for fifteen years, because the bigger monster was always my father.

[passingthrough]

[She scoots over to him because at the moment it makes more sense to her than standing and walking the few steps to where he sits. When she reaches him she leans the side of her head against his knee.] You're not a monster.

[tallasaking]

[He sighs, for a moment, before he put his hand on the side of her hair.] No, perhaps I am worse. Perhaps I was a coward for too many years.

[passingthrough]

[She closes her eyes, staying put for now.] Because you didn't stop your father sooner?

[tallasaking]

[He nods his head grimly.] I should have killed him when I was thirteen. Even if I wasn't so damned weak.

[passingthrough]

[She opens her heavy-feeling eyes and looks up at him.] Hey. [She takes a moment to gather her thoughts, wanting to get this right.] You were a kid. He was your father. You did it when you were ready. Don't be mad at yourself for giving life a chance even if it didn't end well.

[tallasaking]

[He looks down at her, and then pats her head awkwardly but with affection.] Can I have regret, or is that something I have to hold out on as well?

[passingthrough]

...You can feel anything you feel. Even things I told you that you shouldn't feel. [She tucks her chin on his knee.]

[tallasaking]

...Now that, Kitty, covers an entire category of sins that I do not want to get near. [It isn't much, but he is smiling a little bit. He's fuzzy, no lie, but he's not going to walk down this road. Even as he strokes her cheek gently.]

[passingthrough]

[She jerks back at that touch. It feels a little too intimate and she's not sure if it bothers her more that it happened or that it took her a moment to realize it shouldn't.] Umm... I'm hungry. We should get snacks. [Getting to her feet. What he said and did probably didn't mean what she thought they might mean anyway, right? It's not like she's entirely clear here right now. Getting a snack and a walk is just a good idea and if it means not being alone with him in his room that's just an extra.]

[tallasaking]

[He leaned back as she jerked back, and then cleared his throat.] Yes, yes, I think that would be the best idea.

[passingthrough]

[She bumps into the door she meant to phase through and then pulls it open like some kind of normal, non-phasing person which is the worst! She starts walking, not even sure if it's toward the kitchen before blurting out.] You weren't hitting on me, right? You said I'm not a woman. You wouldn't hit on not a woman.

[tallasaking]

[Here he paused for just a moment, before arching an eyebrow at her.] If I am not going to hit on James Kirk for not being a woman, I certainly am not going to try some sort of untoward move to you.

[passingthrough]

...I'm not sure that made sense. [Possibly because of how she started the question. Possibly because of how he finished it. Maybe just the weed.] But we're okay, right? You know I'm with Winn. You're not into me. You're into Daenerys?

[tallasaking]

...I'm not sure how much that makes sense either. [He wobbled on his feet a little bit, before stating a little crossly.] Kitty, you know very well all of that is true and we've said it to one another more than once. Why would any of those answers change now?

[passingthrough]

I... Winn worries about it and you touched my cheek... [She shakes her head which makes her feel a little dizzy.] I'm sorry. I've never been high before. [Maybe it's just that?]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion stopped, altogether, rubbing his face because really? He did not have the mental capacity for this.] Kitty are you afraid that I am going to break my word, or that you are?

[passingthrough]

[She looks down at him, considering that.] I'm afraid of losing you because something doesn't feel right to him.

[tallasaking]

[He looks back up at her, and sighs.] Kitty, you and I are impossible, because you are in love with Winn, and I ... am infatuated with a Queen who wants nothing from me but my friendship. At this point, the most fear Winn should have is that I am about to come and cry on him, for a change.

[passingthrough]

When did Winn... [Despite the somber moment she has to giggle at that.] When did Winn. It sounds the same.

[Clearing her throat] When did W...he cry on you?

[tallasaking]

[He chortles at that for a moment, before he shakes his head.] Because he did not think he was strong enough for you.

[passingthrough]

He didn't? [There is such an "awww!" look on her face.] But he is. You told him he is, right?

[tallasaking]

Well of course ... I certainly didn't threaten him with death. That was the first time we talked. [Tyrion said placidly, as he wobbled to his feet and moved towards the kitchen once more.]

[passingthrough]

Those are wildly different things with lots of in between options. [Following to the kitchen.] But thank you.

I really wish he liked you. [Probably not a thing she'd say not high.] I guess I don't really get along that well with Cisco though. Or Jim? Is it more like Jim? But I get along better with him. I think Kara is Kurt. [This is all making sense, right?]

[tallasaking]

I have very ... optional conversation. [He paused before he frowned though.] Winn likes me. He wants me to go home with him. He just wants you all to himself which makes sense ... and considering how he talks about Jim? I can see why that would ruffle your feathers.
