[Mikleo accepts the buds, squinting at them for a moment before lifting them to his ears to imitate the way Maglor had been wearing them. He listens for a bit, eyes widening, before offering them back again.]

It's... definitely a different sort of style than what I'm used to.

[bythewaves]

Me too. [ Maglor nods ]

But I find the "beat" to be quite infectious, even if the lyrics do not always make sense. I can see why Lady Misty likes them so - they really do make you want to dance.

[nerdeology]

I don't know about dancing, but I will agree it's quite catchy.

[bythewaves]

It's the beat to it, I think. [ Maglor hums softly along ]

It's an infectious rhtyhm. It reminds me of a good pub song, maybe, one to get your toes tapping.

[ He looks at Mikleo and sobers ]

I never apologised to you. I wanted to wait until you were less angry, and then you and the others slept....

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo's expression shifts, first to confusion, then an awkward realization; it's been months since then, not just the ones that have passed since the cause of their conflict, but those passed during his trip home. So much else has happened that it'd been almost too easy to just ignore it and carry on like normal- albeit more quietly, since they haven't really talked about it.

Looks like it's time.]

You did apologize... but I didn't accept it. It wasn't the kind of apology I wanted.

[bythewaves]

I know. Sorey explained - but I am sorry all the same, Mikleo, I did not want to hurt you.

[nerdeology]

...Yeah, I know. That's probably what made it so much harder to understand. Your intentions were good, even if the result wasn't.

[bythewaves]

I always seem to hurt people, sometimes by trying to protect them. That is why I acknowledge you as captain, Mikleo. Because I trust you to stop me.

[nerdeology]

Well, fine. Then check with me first if you get any bright ideas. And for the record, that doesn't mean I'd object to you protecting others, or... or killing to save someone, either, if there wasn't another way.

[bythewaves]

Thank you. [ Maglor smiles a little sadly ]

Let us hope it never has to come to that again.

[nerdeology]

I do hope for that, yes. We need to ensure that this ship is livable for everyone on board. That's rule number one.

[bythewaves]

That much I am glad to try and achieve.

[ He fiddles with the walkman shyly ]

I suppose that means I should 'turn it down', hm?

[nerdeology]

Seriously, it's fine. It doesn't bother me. Although if anyone asks you, you might have to extend that courtesy.

[bythewaves]

I will. [ Dryly he adds ] It will hardly be the first time someone has told me I am too loud.

And ... if you wish to borrow it, Mikleo, you have but to ask.

[nerdeology]

I'll... consider it, maybe. At the very least, Sorey might enjoy it.

[He wouldn't be caught dead singing and dancing in the hallway, and it's not exactly his music style, but the novelty of it is kind of fun.]

[bythewaves]

If you think he might you need but ask. [ Maglor promises ]
