[ You in danger, girl. ] Has anyone ever told you that you have a very charming personality.
[ That's a joke. Charming doesn't mean what you think it means, though he does sound slightly amused. It's easy to catch onto her point, and he'd rather be honest about contacting her than... well, caring about Emma. Priorities. ]
We were both concerned, then. I wouldn't read too deeply into it.
totally lost this in the poll post insanity, sorry!
Other than making charming conversation? [ Isn't that enough!! Also he's drinking alone so he's not sharing that one, sorry. ] Not a great deal. The jumps haven't been particularly kind, of late.
[ Shhh there's nothing wrong with drinking alone when it's on a horrorship. Right? Of course right. ] Yeah, they were going better for a couple months there, but this one pretty much sucked all around. I assume it's the ship punishing us.
I don't know. [ But it's clearly a question she's considered, not something she's brushing off. ] But I don't think it wanted us to find whatever Shepard found. I think it killed her and Javik for it.
[ Not give up, of course; just try not to make the same mistakes. There's a noticeable delay, then: ] I'll be at the bar in an hour. If I'm going to suffer a hangover, I'm going to suffer it for the right reasons.
[ Does hair of the dog apply for jump sickness?? It does now. It's not an invitation in so many words, but the offer's there if she's game. ]
Might as well, a hangover without the fun that comes before it is so unfair. I'd join you, but I've got-- a thing. I'm meeting-- somebody.
[ She is game, but Aidan is supposed to come over and as much as she'd like to get drunk she'd rather get laid, sorry Hook. Normally she'd be smoother with the excuse and the cover, but exhausted and caught off-guard she fumbles it enough to probably give herself away. ]
Is that right. [ Slyly, like he's totally getting the gist of that vague "somebody" remark. ]
Perhaps another time, then. Best of luck with your— [ Hard to say which of her words is the best to mock, here, but in the end he goes for the marginally more tasteful one. ] Meeting.
Yeah, yeah. [ The sarcastic reply doesn't really bother trying to deny it because sadly the trolly default tease is true this time, but he can probably hear the eyerolling. ] Save some rum for the rest of us.
