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.]

[Gemini feels him stiffen and laughs darkly, her tongue flicking out to lick his ear.]

All me. [She confirms, smirking.]Aren't you just so very lucky to still be alive?

[bi_otic]

Get away from me.

[There's that now-familiar low pulse of energy in the air, the dark energy rippling over his body for a moment before he reaches out and shoves her away. Not violent, just enough to distance himself from her. It takes everything not to throw her at the same time, but he has to make sense of this. Has to be certain.]

What's lucky about it? Those were good men. Honest men...who were only trying to make a living, and you killed them. Why?

[stretchy_girl]

[Gemini stumbles back at the shove, fear creeping into her body language for the consumption of everyone else at the bar, whilst the blonde hair framing her false face hides a taunting licking of her lips. It's plain that she's enjoying his anger.]

They made a living killing things, what goes around comes around don't you agree?

[There's not even the slightest hint of remorse in her borrowed voice, as she shrugs slightly.]

Where are your manners Kaidan? You're making a scene.

[bi_otic]

[Kaidan's fists are clenched, his posture stiff and angry but deadly still for the moment. Dark energy flickers around his fingers but hums almost softly.]

They were hunters. They were providing for themselves. Protecting their people and their families. It wasn't pointless. But it was...fun for you. Wasn't it?

[stretchy_girl]

[There's an almost taunting edge to Gemini's smile, as if she's daring him to do to something reckless by deliberately toying with him.]

Mmm pretty much. Tell me, did you think you were going to die? Did the fear choke you, or were you too busy trying and failing to protect them?

[bi_otic]

[Reckless is not a word easily ascribed to Kaidan. It's not the kind of thing a man with power can be and look himself in the mirror later. Or maybe that's just him. Still, it would be therapeutic to shoot her right now but he knows it won't do much. His frustration with her is visible in the deep swallow he takes before speaking]

It wouldn't be the first time. So why not try again?

[stretchy_girl]

[His frustration only made her smile widen, and she pouts mockingly in reply before answering him.]

Try again to kill you? Well I could, but I'm really not in the mood.
