[ oh, she will ]

[ they head over to her room, which is decorated really cutely and even has photographs of people hung up around the space. she floats up to a ceiling panel and moves it aside, pulling out some sweets ]

Don't tell anyone about my secret stash.

Though I'm not sure who could get to it.

[candothat]

[The homey look of her room makes him smile and the floating doesn't get so much as a blink.]

I would never. You might need to share it with people other than me if I told.

[She probably wasn't looking for a list, but.] Kitty could. I think that Kirk could, if he was sufficiently determined.

[takingkarabusiness]

Mon-El could, too. But it's the principle of the thing.

[candothat]

Oh, well. No one else would get into it because, from what I have seen, everyone in this fleet is too kind and considerate to steal something as precious as sweets.

[takingkarabusiness]

You're still new, and I have some very rude friends.

[candothat]

I look forward to meeting these rude friends and not revealing sensitive information to them.

[takingkarabusiness]

Good, because they're really good people.

I really haven't found a lot of people here to have issues with. Not that I'm full of drama or anything, but you know. You wouldn't expect people who are in such a confined space to get along, but everyone's really nice.

[candothat]

I'm glad to hear that. It's much easier to argue and fight, I think, with nowhere to escape to, even without the strain of a possible unseen audience. You must know good people if you can all avoid being annoyed with each other.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I definitely didn't say we don't get annoyed.

[candothat]

Then I take that back.

[Speaking of annoyed people, maybe?] I'm sorry if talking with me will make things uncomfortable with Winn.

[takingkarabusiness]

We're all adults, and I pressured you into talking with me. Winn and I will work out things between Winn and I.

[candothat]

[He nods. She's right, they are all adults who should be able to talk to each other regardless of what drama is going down.]

Encouraged, maybe... and I'm glad that you did.

[takingkarabusiness]

Me too. Hey, I wouldn't be good at being a counseling personnel if I didn't.

[candothat]

I thought you claimed that you aren't a real counselor. You may be too good at this job to say that truthfully.

[takingkarabusiness]

I also mentioned that I have a sister. I have field experience, just no certification.

[candothat]

This was mostly true for me when I became the head navigator on the Enterprise as well--field experience with no certification, obviously, not having a sister. Sisters likely do little to help build navigatory skills. Or maybe they do, you would know better than I would.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe some sisters, but not mine.

So you just somehow became navigator? How?

[candothat]

Luck and exceptionally good grades in all of my classes.

[Plus a major planet-destroying crisis and the majority of the Academy's other students being blown to bits by time-traveling Romulans, but he likes his explanation better.]

The same way that Kirk became captain at home, essentially, only his grades weren't as good as mine.

[takingkarabusiness]

You know, I never asked him about that. Was he a poor student?

[candothat]

No, not at all. He was a much better student than I would have anticipated if you disregard the cheating.

[takingkarabusiness]

Wait, hold on, cheating?

[candothat]

Technically it was cheating. There is a simulation that all command-track Academy students take... there is no way to beat the scenario, so we are graded on our handling of a bad situation. Kirk reprogrammed the simulation so that he could win.

[takingkarabusiness]

Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

[candothat]

It does, yes, but I think that it was ultimately decided that creativity and an unwillingness to accept that some situations cannot be won should be rewarded.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, it's a kind of strategic problem solving, to be sure.
