Okay, I left an evil little prompt to
pumpkinchao in an e-mail a few hours ago, and here is what I came up with. If any of you would like to steal this prompt and write on it, go right ahead...I daresay we can all come up with something...interesting...::snicker::
Ramirez/Galcian - doing things
(Warning: slight OOC here, but it's worth it)
Galcian merely stared at the diminuitive Silvite for many long moments, mouth slightly agape and trying to pinpoint an emotion in the numb haze that now comprised his train of thought. Ramirez, for his part, gazed calmly back as though nothing of significance had occurred. This made the Grand Admiral absolutely furious.
"What do you mean, you did not tend to the Ixa'taka ordeal?! Did I not specifically request that the slaves within Moon Stone Mountain be dealt with accordingly?! Were you not adequately informed of my wishes the moment the Air Pirates started to get out of hand?! What were you DOING all this time?!"
"It merely...slipped my mind," Ramirez responded quietly, his slightly bemused gaze now fixed carefully on the tiled floor underfoot.
"THESE THINGS WILL NOT CONTINUE TO SLIP YOUR MIND!!!" Galcian roared, livid yet still puzzled by the Silvite's reaction. Normally Ramirez would have already berated himself a thousand times over, and would succumb without complaint to his lord's tirade, but this behavior...it did not suit Ramirez at all. Galcian could not find a reason for it. "You are my Sixth Admiral, and as such, you will show responsibility and discipline at all times! Now, I shall only ask you once more, and then I will begin to be forceful...what were you doing?!"
"I was busy," Ramirez replied, now hiding the shadow of a wicked smile.
"BUSY DOING WHAT?!"
"Busy doing my lord," was the strained reply, and the Silvite burst into uncontrollable peals of laughter.
Galcian stood stunned on the dias, aghast, and watched his most trustworthy subordinate laugh long and loud without a single word of dissent. The atrocity...the absurdity...the Grand Admiral forced his jaw together with an audible snap. He was speechless.
Ramirez straightened his black jacket and cleared his throat, only to say, "If my lord protests to the nature of my important tasks, I will of course cease to perform them and deal with the Ixa'takan campaign straightaway!" And then there was the hysterical laughter again, and this time the Silvite doubled over, clutching his stomach.
"I did not say that I disapprove..." Galcian protested weakly, at a loss.
"Thusly doing my lord and keeping him satisfied are full-time jobs! Not just anyone could be entrusted with something so important!"
"Ramirez..."
"I apologize! I did not intend to make my lord so uncomfortable! Forgive me!"
