[ Cara looks scandalized. ]

I don't need help.

[kill_switch]

Okay.

[She's going to sit back and watch.]

How are you settling in?

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ She turns her head, perplexed. ]

Why would I settle?

[kill_switch]

You don't have much of a choice. It's not like you get to leave anytime soon.

[revengeofthemordsith]

There's always a choice. I will make do, but I will not settle for anything less than my departure from this place.

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa shrugs.] Suit yourself.

[She is just as ready to go back as the day she arrived, but having a place to call her own? That was something she wanted to take advantage of.]

You sure you don't need any help with that gun?

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Cara already has a place: with Richard. She's not going to trade that for the Fleet. ]

No. I've already been taught the basics. The rest, I must master.

[kill_switch]

As long as you're not mastering it wrong. You get in the middle of a firefight, it's nice if the gun fires.

[There's certainly something to be said for figuring it out yourself, but given the luxury of time and relative peacefulness they have here, Furiosa figures she's got some useful knowledge on the subject.]

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Hm. She nods, considering that. ]

Does that happen often?

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa shrugs.]

Only if you put it together wrong. Or, run out of ammo. Or if it gets sand in between the pieces.

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Her eyebrows furrow. ]

Why would it get sand?

[kill_switch]

Desert planet. We've visited one before, could visit another in the future.

[revengeofthemordsith]

The planet is only sand? How does one survive?

[kill_switch]

You get creative.

[She gives Cara a wry, crooked smile.]

[revengeofthemordsith]

You'd have to be very creative to manage that. I doubt I could.

[kill_switch]

You'd be surprised what you're capable when survival is on the line.

[revengeofthemordsith]

Oh, I don't doubt that. I am a survivor.

[kill_switch]

Well. You're in good company.

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Cara blinks in confusion before slowly absorbing that. ]

I . . . guess I am.
