Who: Rey
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bloodsport.
When: Friday - late at night when good souls should be sleeping.

[She doesn't know when it began or what started it. Oh she has dealt with glitches before - she was a child for a few weeks - but this one is so different! It can't be a glitch, right? She has never had so much energy in her life!]

I don't think I've ever gotten so much done in a few hours! I wonder what was stopping me before? I don't even feel like I need to sleep!

[Whoa, Rey, slow down. How many cups of coffee have you had?]

I'm tired of being cooped up, though. Would anyone like to take a shuttle with me to Iskaulit or one of the other ships? I know the Bloodsport needs a lot of repairs and I've finished some minor ones, but I need move more.

[She is already pacing, stray strands of hair falling from her customary buns to touch her face.]

[leftonjakku]

Then I'll meet you on the Iskaulit? [She smiles hopefully and grabs her staff and her bag.] Be careful anyway? I don't want your family mad at me.

[valiantfire]

I will be there! I may have to bring a cousin along, if that is well with you? My family can be protective. {To put it extremely mildly!} But I will do my best not to keep you waiting long!

[leftonjakku]

Everyone is welcome! As long as they can keep up! [She is trying not to be too jealous of the bond he shares with them. That isn't fair of her.] I'll wait near the docks.

[valiantfire]

{A grin!} I doubt that will be a problem!

I will see you soon.

{Fingon arrives alone not long after, and approaches at a sedate pace. He's promised not to overtax himself!}

I have been turned loose for the rest of the night!

[leftonjakku]

Do you swear? [She grins playfully.] Alright, then!

[The journey to the Iskaulit is uneventful - much to her disappointment. However once aboard the bigger ship, she has far more room to pace and breathe and -]

Fingon! [She hurries up to him, beaming.] Then we should make the most of it!

[valiantfire]

{Fingon just laughs.

He's grateful for a peaceful shuttle ride to the Iskaulit. Rey's smile is mirrored.}

I agree! What do you have in mind?

[leftonjakku]

First, you're going to show me where you were injured. [No ifs, ands or buts about it!]

[valiantfire]

{Fingon sighs but pulls the top of his robes open enough to show the healing wound. The stitches have been removed, leaving pink skin behind and a fading bruise.}

[leftonjakku]

[She examines it critically, understanding almost immediately how he was injured.]

Someone stabbed you. [Rey has a strong distaste for such wounds and all evidence of her giddiness disappears.] I should have gone to you and your family.

[valiantfire]

It was hardly the first time I have been struck by a sword. I was careless and paid the price.

{Fingon closes his robe and lightly touches her shoulder with a gentle smile.} You were where you were needed, I had plenty of defenders as my cousin Maitimo found me soon after. I was not left alone.

[leftonjakku]

Really? Do Elves fight a lot? [She peers up at his features, trying to see beyond the smile.] That's good. I'm glad you have them. We're such a small crew on Bloodsport and it didn't feel right to leave.

[valiantfire]

More than I would like. {The smile dims briefly.} I left a war when I was brought here.

The Huntress is a fair size. But I will not leave my family to danger by choice. {It's enough that Finrod lives on another ship that Fingon's thankful the rest are all on one ship.}

[leftonjakku]

I'm sorry. [She feels like she might be in the center of a war when she returns. It's inevitable.]

I don't blame you. [Part of the reason she hadn't transferred ships to be with Finn and Poe (as well as Pinkie Pie) had been because the Bloodsport was such a small crew. Rey doesn't abandon anyone in need if she can help it.] I mean, I don't really remember what it's like to have a family, but it seems nice.

[valiantfire]

Don't be. I simply dislike battle. {Though Fingon's good in a fight.} We all do what we must.

I'm fortunate with my immediate family, though there are...individuals... {A certain uncle.} Chosen family can be just as precious, do not discount those you decide for yourself to be family.

[leftonjakku]

If you liked them, I would be worried about you. [Rey isn't bad. Even with a light-saber, she isn't exactly a beginner if she relies on the Force to guide her.] What else can we do?

I really don't have many of those either.
