Ugh!

[The burst of confetti goes completely unappreciated once Cassandra is moved to the bridge of the Red Fish. She brushes it off her shoulders and bends over a little to brush it out of her hair. Just when she thinks this couldn't get more absurd, she's proven immediately wrong. No one mentioned confetti to her when they said she'd be transferred to another ship soon. They also didn't mention the teleporting either, but the confetti is easier to be annoyed with because it's concrete.]

[Once she's fairly certain she's managed to get the confetti off her, she's doesn't hang around on the bridge for long. She completely ignores the music and the dessert. Someone else can have it. She'd rather get her bearings and inspect parts of the ship. Like the armory.]

[Maybe especially the armory.]

[Cassandra won't say that she's sorry that Syeira had to suffer like that. It's just not an experience in which you say sorry and have it hold any significant meaning.]

And the mage who did this to you, you said you defeated him. Does that mean he is dead or simply trapped?

[child_of_bhaal]

I'm not sure the distinction matters. Where he is...

[She almost said she wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy, but.]

He's certainly earned it, in any case.

[openhands]

[The distinction could matter, Cassandra thinks. No matter how bad the realm he was left behind in was. Individuals like that, those that would do anything to advance their own power, sometimes are only truly able to be stopped by death. (Provided they haven't found a way to cheat it, of course.) They can survive conditions like Hell; perhaps even come to thrive within it.]

Then I pray that is the last you will see of him. A man like that would be impossible to bring to justice through any other means.

I have no doubt his fate is what he deserves.

[child_of_bhaal]

[This is not really something a person says 'thank you' for, so she just nods.]

Well, anyway, see? I'm not very normal at all.

[openhands]

I would say not. I...

[No, it's weird to say you appreciate her sharing, Cassandra. Don't say that.]

I should like to hear some of the details another time. If there is time and you would like to.

[Smoooooooooooooth.]

[child_of_bhaal]

[It wouldn't be so weird. To Sye, anyway.]

Well, I imagine once we get this thing up and moving, I'll have a lot of time on my hands again.

[Oh right, she's holding a repair part still.]

Oddly enough there's not a lot to do in space. I'd enjoy chatting with you again any time you like.

[c:]

[openhands]

I would like that. [But she does stand aside.] Do not let me keep you from your duties, however.

[child_of_bhaal]

Yeah, I should probably get this where it's going. Glad to have you aboard, Madam Seeker.

[With a smile and a nod, she goes to drop off her cargo.]
