Jhett is bringing Kes some food. [5:20:16 PM] Kali: She's in her room. [5:21:04 PM] Jhett: Jhett knocks on her door. "Hey, Kestrel?  Breakfast was made.  I brought you some to make sure you didn't miss out." [5:21:40 PM] Kali: Kestrel opens the door, cautiously at first, just a crack. She opens it a bit further when she sees who it is. [5:22:19 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I am not certain I should leave this room. [5:22:28 PM] Jhett: You were fine yesterday, right? [5:24:19 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Yes. He was inebriated and she did not see me. [5:24:45 PM] Jhett: She doesn't seem the smite first/ask questions later type. [5:26:21 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I have never been smitten. [5:26:35 PM] Jhett: Jhett smiles. "Well.  Eat at least." [5:28:42 PM] Jhett: Jhett hands her a plate. "It looks like they're sticking around, anyway.  You'll have to meet them.  I don't know whey're the're from, but they seem a bit more... worldly.  Maybe they'll recognize your blacks." [5:30:44 PM] Kali: Kestrel takes it. "... that is not necessarily helpful." [5:31:34 PM] Jhett: If they know you're from the Academy, and they're law and order types, they know you're no threat to them. [5:35:49 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I am not a threat. [5:35:55 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... I have killed. [5:36:50 PM] Jhett: So have I. [5:37:27 PM] Jhett: I can't make you do anything, of course. But you'll have to meet them eventually as it looks like they're staying. [5:41:11 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods. "... perhaps later." [5:41:22 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Thank you for the fruit. [5:41:33 PM] Jhett: Of course. [5:41:51 PM] Kali: Kestrel: It reminds me of home. [5:42:02 PM] Jhett: Home? Where's home? [5:42:23 PM] Kali: Kestrel: St. Benedict. [5:42:44 PM] Jhett: I don't really associate fruit with St. Benedict. What do you mean? [5:42:53 PM] Kali: Kestrel: My mother sells fruit there. [5:43:02 PM] Jhett: Ahhh, I see. [5:43:26 PM] Jhett: Well, I'll get you some different fruit next time. Until then, these pancakes are pretty good. [5:44:55 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Thank you. [5:45:06 PM] Jhett: Jhett nods. [5:46:15 PM] Jhett: ... if you need anything, let me know. Or, let Nation know. [5:46:33 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... why? [5:47:28 PM] Jhett: Jhett shrugs. "Because." [5:48:33 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... inadequate. [5:49:07 PM] Jhett: Because I think you're a decent person. And we're all stuck here and you shouldn't have to hide. [5:50:05 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Very well. ... thank you. [5:51:22 PM] Jhett: Jhett smiles. "Just... let me know.  If you want me there when you meet them, I'll be there." [5:52:19 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... that might be advisable. However, I would not advocate unnecessary violence. [5:52:33 PM] Jhett: I don't think it will get violent. [5:53:29 PM] Jhett: The woman is overbearing and rigid, but seems smart. And the other one didn't do anything while already drunk and belligerant. [5:55:03 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods. [5:55:56 PM] Jhett: Jhett smiles a little. "You should eat before it gets cold.  Pancakes don't hold their heat that long." [5:56:14 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods, and starts nibbling on them, awkwardly. [5:57:24 PM] Jhett: ... you don't have to eat it if you don't want to. Maybe you don't like pancakes. [5:57:47 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I like pancakes. However, you have no food; it is considered rude to eat when someone else has nothing. [5:58:17 PM] Jhett: I already ate. But... [5:58:29 PM] Jhett: Jhett reaches over and grabs a piece of bacon. "There." [5:59:32 PM] Jhett: ((We don't have to rp out eating. I know you're dividing your attention a lot.)) [5:59:35 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Thank you. [5:59:56 PM] Jhett: Jhett nods. [6:00:14 PM] Jhett: You're welcome. [6:03:15 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... you are assisting me. [6:03:35 PM] Jhett: Yes. I like you. I'd like to be your friend. [6:04:01 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Without stabbing. [6:04:17 PM] Jhett: Jhett smiles. "No stabbing required, I hope." [6:05:49 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I would prefer not. [6:07:54 PM] Jhett: ...we were all tossed onto this ship at random. I'd like at least one friend out of the whole experience. And you're trustworthy. [6:08:48 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... that is correct, but I am uncertain as to how you formed the hypothesis. [6:10:07 PM] Jhett: Jhett shrugs. "I'm not a bad judge of character." [6:11:08 PM | Edited 6:11:42 PM] Jhett: Alternately, I'm a horrible judge of character. But I'm willing to take the chance. [6:12:02 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Why? [6:12:34 PM] Jhett: I don't do well with solitude. [6:12:59 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Solitude is safety. [6:13:25 PM] Jhett: Not for me. [6:13:59 PM] Kali: Kestrel: No? [6:14:49 PM] Jhett: No. I can't take it for very long. It drives me batty. Music helps, but I can't just keep playing. [6:15:11 PM] Kali: Kestrel: One's arms get tired eventually. [6:15:15 PM] Jhett: YEah. [6:16:15 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I would like to play for you at a later time. [6:16:45 PM] Jhett: I would like that. [6:18:45 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods. [6:21:56 PM] Jhett: And then maybe we can play together. I'm glad someone here is musically inclined. [6:36:13 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I am also. [6:36:37 PM] Jhett: Jhett smiles. "At least she makes decent pancakes." [6:37:01 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Yes. [6:38:00 PM] Jhett: I'm going to go... check on the others. When I left, Allys was berating us for not properly educating Janis. I should make sure no fights have broken out. [6:38:14 PM] Kali: Kestrel: That would be helpful. [6:38:30 PM] Jhett: You want to come with me? [6:39:10 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Not at present. Later. [6:39:42 PM] Jhett: All right. [6:40:01 PM] Jhett: I'll... talk to you later, then, okay? [6:40:29 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods. [6:40:43 PM] Jhett: Jhett smiles, and heads back to the Galley.
