I'm glad the ship is back in one piece.

[And... that's all he has to say about that. There are a lot of people that left. Whether or not it was Flagg's fault, it still bothers him. He doesn't think the proper Admiral could tell him where anyone goes when they leave, either.

So that's all he can come up with at the moment.]

Mister Kay?

[There is somehow something really sweet in introducing herself like that. He's not talked to her since she's been back though, so he's going to take a moment.]

Yes ma'am.

["Ma'am" is a much better form of address than some of what she's been getting since she's been here. So that's nice, at least.

Not that she doubts Arthur's judgment.]

Arthur said you might be able to help me. You see, I'd like to learn some self-defense. Arthur's showed me a couple of things, but I think it's a good idea to get, uh. Multiple opinions.

[Private]

[most_feared]

Oh. Yeah. I could do that.

[He remembers that she doesn't remember.] For a while I was offering to help people make non-lethal defensive weapons. Of course, most of it's not going to do much for something without eyes or a mouth.

What were you thinking of?

[Arya's only passed through the gym once or twice, but she always reminds herself to come back. Today she's poking at one of the mats lined up against the wall, completely boggled the material. But she watched Kay from the corner of her eye, and when he finished, she ventured toward him.]

What were you doing? [She'd never seen real martial arts before.]

[most_feared]

[He raises his brows at her when she comes over, and then leans forward with his elbows on his knees.] Just practicin'. [He doesn't really know what in particular that was strange that he was doing.] What were you doin'?

[Spam]

[dont_tell_sansa]

Practicing what? [She doesn't want to admit she really doesn't know what he was doing, but she might. Grudgingly. His question just gets a shrug.] Looking.

Combat techniques. Cephalopoid. Hard to do if you don't have tentacles. [Delivered dryly.] Generally stuff that makes punches and kicks count for more if you're disarmed.

[Narvin is in the cabin, working on the Matrix mock-up for CLU and drinking tea.]

[Kay is... looking bored as he goes through older network posts and writes things down.] How's it comin'?

It's a challenging project, but it's coming along quite well if I do say so myself. [Narvin, as usual, so humble.]

I should be finished with it relatively soon. And now that the Barge has returned to normal, I'm going to push forward to get Drake graduated. He's close, I know it. Then perhaps a wedding? [This is Narvin's To Do List: 1) Build supercomputer. 2) Trick powerful sorcerer into redemption. 3) Get married.]

[So humble, Narvin. So humble.]

Maybe. Might be better to wait until the clone protocol. [Because he doesn't want to go through with it and then it screw up. His luck with relationships hasn't been particularly good.]

I actually had an idea I wanted to run by you.

You're alright?

[Private]

[most_feared]

Absolutely. Thanks to people draggin' my unconscious ass around the CES. Fuckin' great time for a coma.

How were you and Olive?

[Private]

[result_of_war]

Fine. We were in her cabin when it was jettisoned from the Barge. We just watched movies and waited for it to be over, honestly.

[Private]

[most_feared]

No offense to you, cause I know you can handle yourself, but I'm glad. She's the sort of person people like us oughta be lookin' out for.

[strangehstorian]

[So conflicted :/]

Yes. Do I have your permission to supervise him while he is there and take any actions I feel are necessary to prevent violence against other inhabitants or damage to the books? He will not be harmed in either of these instances.

Private

[most_feared]

Absolutely.

Private

[strangehstorian]

[All perky now!:] Well! That is excellent, thank you. What other questions did you have?

Private

[most_feared]

Well, I'm still needing to talk to Dick a bit more on the Barge log front, but I was wondering if you would be willing to help with that or with working on a record of events that occurred before they started loggin' everything.
