II. Let's talk!
[ Kara's been away. Since her stunt running through cannibal-infested forests planetside, she's only been back on the Tourist a handful of times, mostly for clothes and a suncharge. It's not that she's outright avoiding anyone, but her priorities have lied elsewhere. However, through her conversation with Pavel—observing his anxious opinions of the ship—she's decided that some good old fact-finding is in order.

Despite her own guilt over neglecting her crewmates (and not really knowing the most recent additions), she's decided to seek out her crewmates that she doesn't know so well or hasn't talked to about everything. She tries to be super casual about it, but it's clear she wants to Talk. ]

Hey, so, how's it going? It's been a minute, huh?

Oh, like you've ever trusted me, Jim. You aren't my dad, you're my peer, captain or not, and you have never treated me that way. You assume I'm too stupid to recognize what is safe and unsafe on a spacecraft but you're not the only one with experience.

[ So this is not going the way she expected, but might as well get it out now. her voice isn't raised but it is cold ]

This isn’t about your experience Kara. It’s about whether or not I can count on you in a crisis, powers or no powers, and right now I don’t know if I can.

_{[ His voice isn’t chilly. It’s hard and hurt as he says the words because he hates them. He does. They scrape at his throat but damn if they weren’t coming out now. ]}

[ her eyebrows raise and her lips purse. she takes his lack of denial as having nothing to deny ]

Well, I'm glad we cleared up your opinion of me.

[universal_charm]

It’s not really an opinion. It’s a conclusion based on your actions. And until proven otherwise, it’s one I have to operate around should something happen again.

_{[ He drained his coffee and keyed open the door. ]}

I don’t want you to go Kara. I still think you’re needed here and have a place here. Go or stay - that decision is yours to make.

_{[ Not seeing any more value in a discussion that by now he saw as going in circles, he turned to go. ]}
