Four Men and a Little Lady???

[got_it_memorized]

Who: The crew of the Tourist and potential visitors
Broadcast: probably not
Action: on the Tourist!
When: The week of April 12-18

[So the Tourist finally gets a female crew member! Hurray for representation! Or something. This is going to make quarters kind of awkward, but at least they have shields now, right?]

I doubt sending Atroma a threatening message will do any good in that regard.

[So rude, not being around to threaten death to. ]

Perhaps you could hang up a curtain for her?

[got_it_memorized]

Yeah, somehow I don't think a strongly-worded letter will get me too far.

[He rubs his chin.] There's a thought. We've got some extra blankets now that we got the upgrade, maybe one'a those'll work.

[wolfuncaged]

It's only a temporary measure, but I doubt we have many other options. Unless someone wishes to sleep on the bridge.

[He shakes his head.]

I don't wanna kick anybody out. It's not the penthouse, but they're still beds. [He gives Fenris a bit of a frown.] You know you don't have to sleep in the armory...

[wolfuncaged]

I am aware.

[He crosses his arms, giving a shrug of his shoulders, a gesture of self-preservation.]

It is for as much your benefit as it is my own. I...do not sleep well.

[He'd rather not disrupt everyone with his nightly nightmares.]

[Axel regards Fenris a moment, then gives him a tired sort of half-grin.]

You too, huh? [Axel's nightmares are less frequent, but he still rarely sleeps for more than three hours at a time. This is why he naps. He glances back at the cots then at Fenris again.] You know, I wonder if you could drag your cot into the armory. S'gotta be better than sleeping on the floor, right?

[Fenris turns his head, surprised, but not really showing it. ] Hmm.

I tried, once. It doesn't quite fit through the door. It is fine, though. I have slept in worse places.

[At least he has blankets and pillows here.]

[got_it_memorized]

[He thumps his fist against his palm.]

Rats, it's always something.

[He hefts a sigh, then gives Fenris a sidelong look. He was really prepared to hate him, after what happened with Robin. Axel didn't even really know Robin very well, but the thought of someone just killing him that way didn't sit right at all, and especially given Fenris' terse and stubborn response to his suggestion to keep his violence away from certain people, Axel was ready to just hate this guy's guts. Somehow, though, he can't quite do it. He gets this weird vibe from Fenris, like maybe they've got something in common that neither of them wants to acknowledge. Like maybe Fenris is just as lonely as he tries to convince himself he's not.]

Well. If you find you need anything...

[He leaves it open ended, moving through the doorway and sitting down on the edge of his bed. He doesn't quite trust Fenris, and he's sure he doesn't get him, but he can tolerate him. Fenris is part of his crew, and if these attacks are going to become part of their routine from here on out, having some solidarity among the ranks is going to be paramount.]

[wolfuncaged]

I will keep that in mind, thank you.

[And Fenris will just slink off to some quiet corner of the ship. He has to admit, Axel is slowly winning his respect. It's not the big things that gets Fenris' attention in such matters, but the little ones. Focusing on his crew, on their safety and comfort. They speak volumes for him.]
