Comments

[outstandingbalance]

[Not the most reassuring, no. But Natasha isn't too worried about it—not invested in the cargo bay as it is?]

That is a very tactful way to put it.

[hollystrike]

I thought so. Tact is very useful in my line of work, I use it often.

[...well. Only with small children. Sometimes. She's never getting promoted.]

[outstandingbalance]

Is it? [Maybe they never grew close, but it's somehow not a word Natasha would use for her broadly. In specific? Sure. Ironically? Absolutely.]

In most lines of work, really.

[hollystrike]

[Katie very rarely says what she means. It's one of those things people pick up on after a while.]

Oh, I suppose that's a fair point. I wonder what sort of professions would pay you to be brutally honest at all times.

[outstandingbalance]

Not many. Especially not if you're being brutally honest to everyone.

Most of us have a boss to answer to.

[hollystrike]

[She makes a face.] Bosses. Perhaps I should be a boss. [...Katie, you're a captain.] Though I suppose it's no fun being rude to everyone you're ordering around, either. They'd all leave. Not very efficient.

[outstandingbalance]

Seems a little late to wonder that, all things considered. Captain.

[Pointedly.]

Is that why you're keeping such a low profile?

[hollystrike]

[Grin.] Whoever said anything about keeping a low profile? I just keep a sideways one.

Besides, it's not too late if I've never been rude to any of my crew. I'm the gentlest of souls.

[outstandingbalance]

I'll take your word for that. I'd hate to disrespect our captain with skepticism.

[hollystrike]

Disrespect away. [She waves a hand.] I'm extremely honest, after all. It would be a shame if others felt they couldn't be the same.

[outstandingbalance]

I can respect honesty in a person. [It's a good look. On other people.] If I come up with something, I'll let you know.
