[That was her first thought too! Vision told him about Jarvis the AI once upon a time.] He's new to the Tourist. He's a pilot, but he likes to cook. He was making me waffles when we met.

[arfvader]

[I mean, maybe not as cool as an A.I. system, but still pretty cool!]

Any chance he wants to transfer onto our ship instead?

[passingthrough]

How dare you, sir?

[arfvader]

It was worth a try!

[passingthrough]

It was scandalous and uncouth and I don't think I've ever actually said uncouth before so you know it's bad.

[arfvader]

How does he feel about visiting other ships and spreading joy like some kind of pancake-making-Father-Christmas?

[passingthrough]

Probably better than I'd feel about letting him even temporarily get away. Maybe you should just join us for breakfast someday.

Oooor maybe I could be nicer since I did come here to kind apologize. [Not that it's her place to pimp Jarvis out one way or the other.]

[arfvader]

What for? Unless I forgot something because of the head injury.

[He laughs a little because he is 100% joking.]

[passingthrough]

[She'll get to the what for, but...]

Are you joking about the head injury or the forgetting because of it?

[arfvader]

[Ravi is learning to just never talk about any injury ever again.]

It was just a minor bump to the head. I'm fine.

[passingthrough]

[She's been around too many people you have to bully into taking care of themselves, but since Ravi is a doctor she nods, letting it go.]

I was just very abrupt and a little harsh with you during the battle.

[arfvader]

Well we were kind of in a situation where our lives were possibly in danger, it's understandable. Besides, I don't really recall you saying anything completely out of line.

[passingthrough]

What about the part where I suggested we make sure we kill all the raiders so no one has to worry about their safety? [That was kind of dark.]

[arfvader]

We all say things in the heat of the moment, Kitty. Besides, we had our share of causing casualties in the raid. [Not Ravi personally, but still!] I'm not in a position to judge.

[passingthrough]

[She nods and gives him a soft smile.] In that case, thanks.

I just didn't want you to be afraid of me. [Which is kind of a thing for her.]

[arfvader]

I mean, I already know you're completely fallible in the game of Speed. What do I have to be afraid of?

[He purposely uses a reassuringly teasing tone of voice, hoping to set her completely at ease.]

[passingthrough]

Harsh. [But it might sound more like "thank you."] I should really examine what's happened to my reputation. I think it's the karaoke bringing it down.

[arfvader]

Please, we all know it is scientific fact that karaoke can only ever improve one's reputation.

[passingthrough]

You've been spending too much time with Winn. I can see the harmful side effects. Don't worry, there is help.

[arfvader]

Look, I think we're influencing each other for the better. You don't have to be jealous.

[passingthrough]

I don't get jealous. [Real talk, she gets a little jealous. Not in a romantic capacity oddly enough. It's more of wanting to also be the best friend and nerdbro which is just being greedy really. But it's light and don't amount to much and it's not something she's feeling at the moment. If it helps it runs the other way with Ravi too since she was friends with him first and now she figures he likes Winn better because who wouldn't really? Again, a minor, background thing she'd be annoyed at herself for feeling if she took the time to analyze it.]

Just be careful. I need to be able to tell you apart.

[arfvader]

[Ravi just lets it slide, because he's a good friend like that! Besides, he likes them both equally! His favourite Drift Fleet couple!]

I'm pretty sure any attempt Winn might make at a beard could never hold a candle to mine.

[passingthrough]

[Well, if they are his favorite couple then...]

Ooh. I hope he stays with the clean shaven. His face is so soft right afterward. [At least she managed not to mention he smells good too?]

[arfvader]

[Just giving her a look of complete judgement. Does he look like someone to have this kind of conversation with?]

[passingthrough]

[She sees that look.] I guess you don't touch his face a lot?
