As Grumpy As She Ever Gets

[therewerefifty]

Who: Makie
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Twin Roses, Iskaulit
When: 3rd Sept

-----

[Makie hardly left her room before she fell asleep in it, after Calibrations.  She shuffles out now, though, sleepy and a little unsteady, which is all the giveaway for her to realise she's overslept again.  Seems to be a habit.  She makes herself a cup of tea, checks on her belongings to make sure they don't need maintenance.  When she finds out how much time has passed from her crew, well... that's enough for her to finally leave the ship.  Even mopey depressives can feel the need to stretch their legs.

She'll visit the gardens, check on the memory tree.  And finally, she finds the swimming pool.  Because it happens to have set up shop in the place she used to go to practice in private.  Huh. 

Well, nobody can complain about her swimming now, can they?  One small problem, though...]

-----

I'm looking for someone to teach me how to swim.  In exchange, I offer lessons either in music or swordsmanship.

[Take your pick.  There isn't likely to be a flood here; no children to save from the water.  But she'll return to Adstring eventually, won't she?]

Have I missed anything important...?

[ parker can swim - she never taught anyone much of anything, but how hard could it be? she's been learning stuff from people, it doesn't look that hard!

and swordsmanship sounds useful. as eliot would say, you never know when you have to fight with a sword. he's not here to fight whoever it is for her, and there are some weirdos on this fleet. can't hurt to learn, right? especially when it doesn't cost money! ]

how good are you?

[ oh, you mean she needs to specify which lesson she's interested in? it isn't instantly obvious which one is the more practical and enticing? ]

I can teach you, if you like. No lessons in return necessary.

[willynilly]

Oh! I love swimming, if you need more help or just some company, I can come with you!

I don't think you missed anything too important, though... were you asleep? For how long?

[did you hear about the freaky-deaky dreams because apparently thats a thing]

[ Maglor is, of course, babying the little memory tree, and he looks up when Makie comes by, lighting up in pleasure to see her ]

Milady Makie! You are awake!

[Vash's sharp ears pick up the sound of a room door opening. He leaves the pilot seat to investigate and he is not disappointed in the slightest.]

Makie! You're awake! Good morning!

[As of course excited shouting is exactly what the quiet Japanese woman was hoping for right after waking up. Or Vash seems to think so.]
