video;;
[ When the broadcast opens up, it is to a dimly lit room with very little decoration. Pietro has been in the fleet for a few months, but he's not collected much to show for it. His expression is pensive, and he takes a moment before he begins speaking. ]

I have been thinking about this for quite some time, watching others come and go.. [ He sighs, rubbing at his cheek. ]

What has this place done to you or your memories? Have you gained anything from being here that you could not have wherever home is meant to be?

[ After his broadcast, Pietro can be found sitting in the kitchen with a mug of hot tea if anyone would rather address him in person. ]

[ -- is someone making tea? because peggy seems prepared to almost breeze by the kitchen door, but the scent of something steeping slows her steps and she hangs by the threshold for a moment. ]

Pietro. [ gentle-ish. his given name, too, because he is a part of this little tied-together family. she'd caught his broadcast earlier, and it had struck a nerve. an emotion. ] You're awfully pensive today.

[ she approaches the table. ]

[ He's busy browsing the network, one hand wrapped around his still-steaming mug when he hears his name. Pietro looks up. Ah, he's summoned the tea hound. He offers her a slow, crooked grin. ]

Captain. [ He takes a sip of his tea, humming. ]

It doesn't do well to keep things inside, lest they fester.

[mucked]

[ she grabs a mug of her own, and begins the process of boiling water all over again. ]

So I've been told. [ but some days she feels more fester than anything else. she grabs a thin tea-bag filled with some weak atroma offering, and drops it into her as-yet empty mug. ] What festering are you trying to avoid, hm?

[silvercast]

[ Undoubtedly, Peggy has been able to detect a change in the atmosphere of the ship, particularly with the twins since their last stop. ]

Wondering if others have been tampered with. [ He's quiet for a moment, spinning his mug idly between his hands. ]

I have my sister. I shouldn't complain..but things feel different.

[ He feels lost. ]

[mucked]

To tamper with us is the Atroma's modus operandi. Simply being here opens us up to such unexpected cruelties -- equal, in measure, to our unexpected joys.

[ she leans against the counter. thoughtful, for a moment, and then: ] Wanda has had more lessons in that fact than many of us here on the Starstruck.

[silvercast]

I wish they would find another scapegoat. My sister does not deserve any of this.

[mucked]

I agree wholeheartedly. [ her sincerity is complete. a little raw, as well, because she does find herself caring more for wanda than she ever intended. ]

[silvercast]

My sister is the much better half. [ It's a completely honest statement. In Pietro's mind, there is no him without her. Even if he was twelve minutes older than her. ]

[mucked]

And I'd imagine she would say much the same about you.

[silvercast]

I would like to fight her on that if that is truly what she thinks.

[mucked]

Now, there's a sort of sibling rivalry I can easily recognize. [ ... ] The pair of you are quite stubborn, you know that?
