Meanwhile on the loveboat (mingle log)

[destinyembrace]

Who: Crew of the Blue Fish, anyone who's been invited, and any visitors! So basically everyone
Broadcast: Nope
Action: On the Blue Fish, mostly probably in the kitchen and the mess hall because PARTY
When: Today~

[If there's anything this freaking ship loves, it's food. Somehow, a dinner got planned to welcome the new member. And then other people got invited. And then the dinner pretty much turned into a party with a lot of food. Needless to say, Kairi has been very busy preparing food all the day for this.

There's a lot of meat, per the captain's request. But there's also veggies, some fruit, pasta, and even brownies! There are also two pizza pies. Basically, Kairi just cooked a bunch of food and hoped it would be enough, as she had no idea how many people were coming.

SO DIG IN, BLUE FISH AND GUESTS. Also mingle and be social and all that jazz!]

I don't think I'm kind. It's just... what I am. I want to help people. I can't do that unless I'm near them.

No, not magic. It's part of what I am.

[destinyembrace]

That might be true, but to those who've you helped, I'm sure they think differently. The motivation doesn't always matter, so much as the action.

[She nods, a lengthy pause following before she asks:] What are you, exactly?

[killedwithlove]

They usually don't think about me. If I did it right, they don't know I ever helped.

[He's quiet, contemplates the question and her and decides she won't be angry.]

I'm a spirit. But I have a real body, all of my own.

[destinyembrace]

They don't... know?

[The question hangs, but somehow it makes a little more sense after he explains what he is. Or at least, she's sure his being a spirit has something to do with it.]

Wow, a spirit? With your own body... [She has so many questions, but she realizes she's been asking him a lot of stuff, and she feels bad.] Obviously you're a good spirit, then. At least, the cats certainly think you are. I've never seen both of them hang around someone at the same time, except for Hawke.

[killedwithlove]

I'm Compassion. Animals usually like me. Alicia's getting used to me more than liking me.

In Skyhold, most of the animals would come to me. Except a couple of the rats, because I took Cassandra's locket back from them and they remembered.

[destinyembrace]

You're still doing better with her than most of us on the ship have. I think this is the first time I've actually seen her and not have her run away in five seconds.

[Compassion... it certainly fits him.]

Huh. I didn't think a lot of animals had such a long memory.

[killedwithlove]

Rats do.

They remember the locket and that I took it from them. But Cassandra needed it more than they did. It had a picture of her brother inside.

[destinyembrace]

If only they could understand that.

[In the distance, she hears someone calling for her. She sighs, getting to her feet and smiling apologetically at Cole.]

Sorry, sounds like someone needs me. It was nice meeting you, though. Feel free to stop by the ship whenever to see the cats. I'm sure Hawke would like the break, and it might be the only time I'll ever get to see Alicia out. [The last part is said teasingly as she wiggles her fingers at Alicia. Who promptly ignores her. Rude.]

[killedwithlove]

[Cole waves softly and gives an almost smile.]

Goodbye, Kairi.
