Iskaulit mingle

[lord_wizard]

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: No
Action: Iskaulit
When: Feb. Drift Week (and beyond?)

[The fleet, more or less patched up after their battle, has once again left civilization behind for empty space. Maybe it's a good time to distract yourself and get away from the endless repairs and nothingness, though there might still be cleaning up that needs to be done here too.

Whether you're grabbing a broom or grabbing a drink, this is a fleetwide mingle for the Iskaulit.]

[She nods.] And here we are all going through it to some degree. [Back home he was alone with that. She doesn't say it, but it's all over her expression.]

[uprightness]

We are.

[ he reaches over, places a hand on her shoulder, a steady form of comfort. ]

Are you worried?

[passingthrough]

[She manages not to think, "Captain America is touching my shoulder" and just smiles at him instead.] About you? I have pretty much every confidence I could have in you.

[uprightness]

[ he huffs out a breath that turns into laughter, looks at his hands for a moment - the gesture is almost shy. ]

I hope I'll be wise enough to keep it this way.

[ or good enough, or worthy enough. lately, all he feels is doubt. ]

[Hey, that's her look to be giving him! It's rather sweet coming from Steve though.] I believe you will. I mean, you're human. There could be mistakes, but those don't define who you are.

[uprightness]

[ he gives her a funny little look before shaking his head with a small, fond smile. ]

You're one of the smartest people I know, I hope you realize it.

[Do you want her to cry? What are you doing, Steve Rogers? Deflect. Deflect.] You should meet more of Winn's friends.

[uprightness]

You think it'd change my mind?

[ ever-amused. ]

[passingthrough]

Well, not if you're going to say it like that. [Why are you the best, Steve?] Thank you. [Is this a better response to a compliment?] That means a lot to me. [And she seriously might cry if she thinks about it too hard right now because it really does mean a lot to her.]
