driftfleet | First Breath Mingle

[Navigating this place with ships is not as hard as one would think. It reminds her of the crannogs in the Neck, man made floating island that made their way through the thick swamps. In a way this is similar save there is the vastness of space in the place of the marshy waters she is familiar with. It is her first trip from SS Paisley, though in her heart she is an adventurer.

She's standing next to the shuttle, inspecting the outside and going through a checklist to make sure it's safe. Being so new to the concept of technology, the young engineer is familiarizing herself more and more with it. She may not be a pilot, but she can at least learn how to make sure this thing stays in working condition.]

[As Captain (though still easing back into her duties and sharing the weight with Tyrion), she tried to keep up on visitors, and knew when Meera had arrived. She had an idea why the other woman was here, and waited until she had gone back to the hangar to approach her.]

You're Meera, Jojen's sister, I take it?

[While looking over the copy of the blueprints she has, Meera stops when the older woman approaches. She bows slightly in greeting before nodding her head.]

I am. My thanks for allowing me on board, Captain.

Not a problem. How's he doing?

[Lowering the checklist she is looking at, Meera looks back at him. He certainly isn't well, but far better off than how he was in the cave.] Better than last I saw him. I got him to eat at least.

Good. Good. I do what I can but it'll be good having family around.

Thank you for looking after him. [She bows her head just a bit. Worrying about Jojen is sort of a constant in her life, but it's good to know there are good people here, like Lady Sansa had said.]

I think something worries him. He is not as ill as he was back home, but I believe home worries him. [Actually she's pretty sure she knows it, but she refuses to play into the idea that he's going to die. Of course she knows it will happen, and someday, but Meera won't think about the details.]

[She waves off the thanks. It's her crew, her responsibility.]

His home isn't exactly full of hope and promise either, I take it? Got a lot of people on this Fleet from rough places.

[He's in good company.]

[Tyrion is walking through the shuttle bay, arching an eyebrow at the young woman visitor. Seeing how she is going through the mechanics of the shuttle - he knows she must be one of the new engineers. He himself is going through the docking bay, making sure everything is up to snuff, but he does take a moment to call out.]

Make sure to check out your hydraulics levels.

[Having already met enough people outside of Westeros and having never met Tyrion himself, the Reed girl does not realize whose company she stands in. Instead she smiles lightly as she looks from him to her checklist.]

I've only just learned what those are, but my thanks.

[Tyrion slipped over to where the woman was, with her shuttle.]

You are quite welcome. I myself was rather clueless on how such mechanisms worked when I first arrived -- and I am happy to share my experience.

That is kind of you. [She gives him a soft smile.] I've only just arrived myself. My captain showed me the autopilot, but it's best if I learn what I can.

I have a generous nature. [He dipped down into a bow, before he hobbled over to her, offering a crooked smile.] So, tell me what you've found, and let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

From what I can see, it all check out. I'm still learning all the parts-- [She gestures to the stack of blueprints in her hands.]

But I wouldn't mind a second pair of eyes. You seem to know what you're doing far better than I. We don't have ships like these back home. Admittedly I'm a novice. So you'll have to pardon me.

[ Jojen's tired, worn out and sick, but it's nothing compared to what he was feeling in the cave, or even before. Furiosa had been checking on him, brought him tea and soup and a lady maester has assisted him. He didn't eat much more than a bird would, but Meera has lifted his spirits enough that he's out of bed and waiting at the hangar. He leans against the wall as he awaits his sister's arrival.

He's anxious, the thought of her on another ship makes him nervous. The thought of her on another ship with the Greyjoy makes him even more nervous. So when he sees her, it isn't her imagination that he relaxes just a skosh. ]

[The ship lands easily and without any hitch. There isn't a reason it would, but that doesn't mean Meera is any more used to the entire principle of this. Space after all. But it's another adventure. Exciting and nearly limitless. Best of all everyone she cares about is safe. It's with a rather large smile she bounds out of the shuttle. Her clothes are somewhat different, but she looks much the same as the last time Jojen had seen her, only in olive coveralls, a light t-shirt, and a jacket.

It's a relief to see him as well. And it's without words that she barrels up to him to give him the most sisterly hug she absolutely could muster without breaking him. He's alive and well and in person. It's all she could ask for really.]

[ The teen doesn't fuss, instead he wraps his arms around her, his grip soft but still there. Very much Jojen -- the sullen brother that is far older than he should be. He's still dressed from head to toe in green although the clothing is more modern and soft. He managed to make enough money to get some nicer clothes catching fish and frogs at one of the last stops. The deep greens of the fabrics match the mossy eyes that close when he leans ever so gently into the hug. ]

Has he given you any trouble? [ So much for a well met or a hello. They're the words he speaks as he pulls back from the hug to stare into her eyes, watching her with a gloomy look, like he's expecting the worst. It's not that he doesn't know his sister cannot protect herself, but that does not mean one does not worry. It's even more nerve-wracking when he knows he can do little to protect her. ]

[Despite the embrace, she isn't surprised at his reaction. It means he cares, and she understands why. Though Meera and Theon haven't had much contact. They're civil, and he seems to have kept his word. Whatever has happened to him has seemed to effect him. At the very least he's less of a threat than what he was. Meera places a calming hand on her brother, giving a warm smile.]

It's good to see you, too. [She teases.] I am well and safe, and there have been no issues between Theon Greyjoy and I-- if you're still worried on that.
