Give or take. [She doesn't necessarily seem optimistic he'll have better luck this time.] If they do, maybe you could get someone to smuggle supplies off the ship for you? So you ddn't have to come back so often.

[canofmanji]

This is my ship too until I get a transfer. I'm not going to let her stop me from takin' what's mine. [He really isn't taking much. Just a few of the supplies that automatically refill anyway.]

I'm not afraid of her. [Which is why he's avoiding her and not sleeping on the ship.]

[outstandingbalance]

[Yeah, she noticed that. And she's wondering if she should not point it out.

Probably she should not.]

Just seemed like you wanted to avoid her.

[canofmanji]

Yeah, well, I figure these people that stuck me here on this ship put me here to fight her. I'm not going to give them that satisfaction. [That's at least what he was going to tell himself.]

[outstandingbalance]

Suppose that can't be ruled out. But... [Pausing as she follows his argument to its logical conclusion.] If that's the case, I doubt they'd be keen to let you trade ships.

[canofmanji]

[...]

Well, yeah! I knew that!

[Did he though? Did he?]

[outstandingbalance]

[Like. Half a smirk. She won't point any more out.]

I just hope it doesn't get in the way.

[canofmanji]

I suppose we'll see. Either way I'm perfectly fine staying on the Iskaulit.

[outstandingbalance]

If you're perfectly fine with it...

Maybe I'll see you around.

[canofmanji]

Until my transfer actually works? Probably will. The name's Manji.

[Might as well give her his name at least.]

[outstandingbalance]

[That does seem like the kind of thing they ought to know. Formally, not from sleuthing through the ship rolls.]

Natasha.

[canofmanji]

Well thanks then, Natasha for proving that there is some sense and decent people among this crew.

[outstandingbalance]

[That gets a laugh out of her.]

That seems to be my job most of the time. The one with the sense.

[canofmanji]

[That gives him a moment of pause.] So why aren't you the captain of this thing?

[outstandingbalance]

[She gives a shrug at that.]

Didn't really figure we needed one. Plus, a bunch of my friends are captains. I didn't want it to look like we were taking over.

[canofmanji]

Well if you ever decide to kick Katie out of being captain let me know. Until then I'll see you later.

[outstandingbalance]

I'll take that under advisement. [With a little wave:] Later.

[canofmanji]

[Manji gives a lazy wave as he leaves.]
