[Felix didn't directly acknowledge the summons mostly out of principle as well as sheer stubbornness. It wasn't as if he'd chosen his particular place on the ship. Nevermind his lack of actual skills in pretty much anything. But he also can't resist giving her a hard time about it and after waiting long enough to make her think he'd simply ignored her completely, he takes a short stroll to find her.

Finding her jumping on the bed wasn't quite what he expected though]

I hope I'm not interrupting anything important.

[ She doesn't actually notice him until he speaks.

Once he does, the surprise makes her startle and flail in midair. Some catlike reflex has her spinning and landing, solidly, on all fours.

She stands immediately, clasping her hands behind her back. ]

You wouldn't have been, if you'd responded earlier.

[lord_wizard]

I didn't see any particular hurry, given that I've been on this ship as long as you have.

[He smirks a little, unable to restrain himself after having caught his serious captain in the midst of something that looked suspiciously like having fun]

Don't tell me you moved onto testing the competence of the furniture.

[pocketpal]

What if I have? It should be able to support my weight.

[ AND THAT WOULD BE A TOTALLY LEGITIMATE USE OF HER TIME, THANK YOU ]

...all right, I know your qualifications. But there are new crew members I've hardly met.

[lord_wizard]

[Well, at least she knows he's useless and accepts it]

It seems we've been assigned another cook. I wonder if they distribute us via dart board.

[pocketpal]

More likely something random, not determined by manual dexterity and innate understanding of physics.

[lord_wizard]

[It takes him to realized how she'd defined darts]

That isn't exactly what I'd meant, but I suppose the randomness of darts depends heavily on the skill of the hand guiding them.

[He makes an amused sound] You make it sound far less fun when you say it like that.

[pocketpal]

Oh. You mean randomness in slight mistakes of motor skills.

I understand, now.

[lord_wizard]

You do realize that most people are hardly as precise as machines?

[pocketpal]

But such precision is the ideal to be attained, is it not?
