[It's a mingle!  Please don't mind the narcoleptic captain or the comatose first mate.  Or the fact that one of our bunk rooms is full of giant wolf hair.  (Dammit, Bigby, couldn't you clean up before you left?)]

I will learn all that I can from you, then.

[She lowers her head in an appreciative bow.]

Though I will pray such skill never needs see use.

[namisan]

You and me both. But it helps, sometimes, knowing you can help even when the fighting is done.

[Or especially when. She pauses to yawn.]

...anyway. I'm really glad to see you're more with it now. I've been wanting to ask you something.

[foxpas]

It does... I will be happy to learn.

[She notes that yawn.]

I am also glad to be recovered and speak with you again, but you need not push yourself.. If you rest, I will still be here.

[namisan]

[She grins tiredly at that.] It might be a while. I'm glitching right now. Closing my eyes tends to mean being ambushed by sleep, so... especially because of that, I think I should ask now.

I'm the Captain of this ship, but there are some times I'm obviously not gonna be around-- whether it's because of a glitch or injury or cryosleep or whatever. It's a good idea to have someone to step up, in that case.

I mean-- ninety per cent of the time there's no call for having to do anything at all, but if we were attacked again, I wouldn't want some of the less experienced people on board not to have someone to look to for orders.

[foxpas]

... I understand.

[She nods.]

If you are asking that I be your second-in-command, I will accept, knowing the full meaning of the station.

[namisan]

That's definitely what I'm asking. [She grins widely.]

Great, then! When you're up to it, there's a way to apply for it on the computer system. You don't need to do that for me, though, so no rush. But if I end up leaving suddenly, it means the ship will recognise you as the next captain. It'll save grief if we get any, uh. Troublemakers on board.

[foxpas]

I shall do so soon, then.

But you need not worry. I am... rather accustomed to leading troublemakers.

[namisan]

Thought you might be. [With the conversations they had during the raid, at the very least.]

When you're out of bed and I'm no longer falling asleep all over the place, I'll go over some stuff with you. I'm going to install emergency procedures on ship for if this happens again.

And. [The smiles fades.] I'm sorry you got so hurt. But thank you.

[foxpas]

[She listens attentively, but at the last bit, shakes her head, a soft smile on her face.]

It is all right. My wounds were obtained in battle, for a just cause. I do not regret them.

[namisan]

As long as you recover from them fully. Which it seems you will; just... take it easy until you're better, okay?

[Captain's orders. Totally.]
