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?

Well, I'd love to do that but apparently I'm the bad guy.

[candothat]

You aren't. I think that you and the captain are similar in some ways, and those similarities have put you at odds. Neither of you are the bad guy.

[takingkarabusiness]

You know that I love being on the Tourist, right? I wouldn't have left if I didn't think everyone could handle themselves.

[candothat]

I know that you would have stayed if you thought that we were in danger.

[It's the first part he's not so sure of.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Good. Because that's important to me.

[candothat]

I don't doubt you, Kara, whatever anyone--even the captain--says or thinks.

Just please always come back.

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't want to put in for a transfer, Pavel. I just need some time.

[candothat]

Yes, of course. Probably all of us need that to some degree after the last two systems.

[takingkarabusiness]

But you could always call or stop by on the Goldstone if you need anything, okay?

[candothat]

Thank you. I should do that anyway so that I can get to know Mon-El better, yes?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, exactly.

[candothat]

And you can call if you need anything or would like to talk about the captain behind his back, of course.

[takingkarabusiness]

Of course, though I don't want to put you in an awkward situation. A more awkward situation.

[candothat]

For you, I would brave more awkwardness.

[takingkarabusiness]

Be that as it may, I am capable of considering others' feelings from time to time.

[candothat]

Only one of many qualities that make you an excellent friend.

[takingkarabusiness]

Thank you Pavel. You're a really good friend.

[candothat]

[She's cool with another hug, right? Hopefully she is because here's another one.]

No better than you deserve.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ of course. hugs always ]

You're very sweet. I'm just not sure I could be as level-headed in your position.

[candothat]

Being anything but level-headed would serve no one right now. It's a necessity, not a virtue.

[takingkarabusiness]

You say that, but maybe it's both.
