... I want to ask you something. Might take a minute, might take an hour. You got time?

Yes...?

[dovehearted]

You said ask you for anything if I needed it, right?

[fanged_aleera]

What is it?

perma-audio

[dovehearted]

I don't feel safe around here.

[fanged_aleera]

Someone threatens you?

[dovehearted]

[quickly] It's nothing you should get into.

I just need something to take care of it with, if I need it.

[fanged_aleera]

It is my duty.

Who was this and what was done?

[dovehearted]

[pointedly not answering the question; she doesn't want to admit she was stupid enough to keep talking to the guy] No, it'll just make it worse if one of you guys gets into it. I just want to make sure I can finish it if he starts something.

[fanged_aleera]

Answer first... Then I allow you something.

[dovehearted]

I don't even know his name. I just said too much to him earlier and he didn't like it.

But I've been needing this since everyone went nuts that one time with the other ship.

[fanged_aleera]

Then describe this man. If they are warden, it is for me to speak with them. If they are not, then their warden now must.

That is the way of it, girl.

[dovehearted]

No. 'm not running to you to make you take care of it. It's the kind of thing that doesn't look like much, and it was my fault.

If it's a problem, it's my problem. But I need your help.

[fanged_aleera]

I can make you tell me...

[dovehearted]

Told you it's nothing.

You'll do something crazy and no one will trust me.

[fanged_aleera]

You will be allowed toothpick.

When you tell me, you shall be given knife.

[dovehearted]

...that's not going to help me.
