Who: Kai Gracen and Open
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Caprine
When: Now

You're speaking to the First Mate on the Caprine now, I guess. If any other first mates want to give me advice on my duties, that sounds grand.

[ A wink, yeah, he's already figured out about how much a first mate does (or does not) do. Mostly he figured McCoy might not mind what help he could give. ]

And for everyone new or new-ish on the Caprine, which might even include me, welcome.

Maybe we can have a party when we leave this system. It can double as a 'thank Morrígan no one expects us to be fish anymore' party.

If anyone wants to fetch alcohol from this planet while you're out, we can probably find a way to drink it.

[ Kai's mostly wandering through the Caprine now, trying to at least inventory what they already have. What previous crew members might have left behind and still hasn't been claimed. He knows McCoy is going to be on the planet, helping. It's just that Kai would be useless on two counts if he'd gone with, and he does feel a bit bad about it. ]

You can find a way to drink it? I did not know alcohol was difficult to imbibe. (Yes, Kai, this is a familiar Elf. Yes, he is looking amused.)

[ Kai can match the amusement easily enough. ]

You'd be surprised how many people have difficulty, but I consider myself quite good at this particular skill set.

I am too, but that comes naturally to all of my kind. (He does not usually partake of alcohol, but he knows he can withstand large amounts.)

[ Kai purses his lips, because physiologically he's as elfin as any other. He lets it go, though. ]

I suppose that means we'd better get a lot, to keep up with you.

I did not believe I was issuing a challenge. (Frankly he worries over the health of anyone who tries!)

However you want to play it.

But if you want to get good and drunk, I don't want to be the one responsible for keeping you from it.

I...could try? I am not a crew member of Caprine, however. Is that a problem?

It's not a good party if it's exclusive.

You're welcome.

The more the merrier, then? I can agree with the sentiment.

Shall I bring anything?

Booze if you have it. Food or a date if you want to. Otherwise just yourself.

[ There's a part of Kai that can't believe he's making this specific invite, but it probably won't end in disaster. ]

The first and the second are easily done. The third... (He looks a little perplexed.) ...is outside of my right to acquire.

It's not my thing either.

[ Which may not be the point the other elfin is making, but it's a casual remark, not something Kai is overly concerning himself with. ]

That does seem a shame for your sake. (But he will not press.)

It's how I prefer to do it.

[ Dating is way too complicated, and Kai's not exactly the sort someone brings home to meet their parents. He knows that, and he's fine with it. ]

At least it is by preference. (And not forced upon him by a questionable, troublesome past.)

[ That's the thing about questionable, troublesome pasts. They can have all sorts of effects that aren't necessarily forced, but also aren't choices freely made. ]

Yeah, well. Come alone if you prefer, I don't care either way.

I may bring my brother, cousin and grandfather if they are not opposed. (Kai, you might see an Elven family.)

The more the merrier.

[ It's not exactly said enthusiastically, but hopefully elven families are different from elfin ones. Because even if Kai likes Ryder and his cousin well enough now, he can't stand the man's sister or grandmother. Especially not his grandmother. ]

Thank you for your kindness. (They will behave themselves. Mostly. But they are Finwëans and Fëanorians. Nothing good can come of that combination - for two of them, at least.)
