To the Captain, other higher officers, and those concerned with rules: What's the policy on dueling aboard this ship? I understand you have arms trainers and weapons masters, but what about formal duels

I wouldn't say no to another fencing partner.

[destinybreaking]

A true fencer. Wonderful. I'd be more than happy to exchange blows with you, then.

[elegantrapier]

It would be my pleasure as well.

[destinybreaking]

Forgive me forgetting, but could I ask your name?

[As if she doesn't have the entire roster memorized. Well, what she could get her hands on, anyway.]

[elegantrapier]

Mitsuru Kirijo. I'm one of the Quartermasters on this vessel. You are Ms. Armstrong, correct?

[destinybreaking]

I am. [There's a small hesitation. She's used to being called Captain, and everything else still feels foreign.]

Mitsuru. I'm surprised we haven't met yet.

[elegantrapier]

A pleasure to speak with you, then.

My duties on the ship unfortunately take much of my time.

[destinybreaking]

Likewise.

...Mine don't seem to take up that much, as yet. I wonder if I've missed something.

[elegantrapier]

[She sound rather decidedly amused at that.]

Likely not - being a senior officer involves more day-to-day duties than Strategist does.

[destinybreaking]

Perhaps someday I won't be relegated to the tiny closet I've been trapped in for this job.

[elegantrapier]

You could take it up with the captain, once the repairs are finished.

[destinybreaking]

Oh, i intend to. I can be much more useful than this.

[elegantrapier]

The help would be appreciated, as well.

[destinybreaking]

After a life of hard work, I find it difficult to settle into retirement. I'm a bit young for it, anyway.

I'll speak with the captain, definitely.
