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.]

The thing about having an edge is that you can't have too much of one.

[spacebro]

Now that just sounds greedy. [He's not judging.]

[outstandingbalance]

Greedy, huh? Is that what you think?

[spacebro]

No. I don't think that about you at all.

[outstandingbalance]

[She laughs at that, as though it's a joke. Not enthusiastic, but still amused.]

Good. I'd hate to think I'd made a bad impression.

[spacebro]

That is the last kind of impression you made. [He tilts his head, looking at her sincerely. Still so clearly hung up on Kara, but it doesn't mean he isn't fond.]

[outstandingbalance]

[It's fair. Natasha might admit a little fondness in return. Though in the end, as a friend.]

Still a charmer.

[spacebro]

The powers don't erase that. [Smiling.]

[outstandingbalance]

No, I don't suppose they would.

[spacebro]

You're very charming yourself.

[outstandingbalance]

You know, I'd say we're already friends. You don't have to win me over.

[For values of friend. But certainly on good terms.]

[spacebro]

You would say that, but you're not because you like the compliments?

[outstandingbalance]

I just start wondering if I deserve them.

[spacebro]

Do I seem that insincere?

[outstandingbalance]

No, I wouldn't say that. I think you mean it.

[spacebro]

Then why wouldn't you deserve it?

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe I've given you unrealistic expectations.

[spacebro]

I don't have expectations about doing what we did again if that's what you're worried about. I mean not that it wasn't great, because...obviously.

[outstandingbalance]

[That gets a laugh out of her.]

No, that's not what I thought or what I was worried about. What happened was a lot of fun, but I don't think either of us were looking to make it a thing.

Don't worry about it. I'm not sure why I even said that.

[She knows why. Because he hadn't known she was an assassin before, and she sort of wishes she could take it back now even if it isn't a secret.]

[spacebro]

[He can't really disagree with her there. Or at least she isn't who he is looking for more of a thing with right now. He doesn't want to mess that up.]

Maybe you have something on your mind.

[outstandingbalance]

I suppose it's not impossible.

[spacebro]

Minds are notorious for having thoughts.

[outstandingbalance]

Sometimes more than we'd like. Better than the alternative though?

[spacebro]

I like to call that sleep and I am a huge fan of it.

[outstandingbalance]

Not sure I even stop when I sleep.
