[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda seems to have come to terms finally with the events as of recent. Reluctantly--if her tone is of any indication.

She sounds as professional as ever. In the background some form of running water can be heard. It would seem she's chosen to pay a visit to that lovely forest on deck three.]Fickle

Some things can't be given back, girl.

[oblique_wisdom]

...

[Are they talking about the same thing?]

What use is it to you?

[shenghuanzhe]

What use was it t'you?

[oblique_wisdom]

It's... It is important to me. I would like it back.

[shenghuanzhe]

Hah. Girl--

[Locked to Zelda // Unhackable]

I ain't a surgeon.

[oblique_wisdom]

[......... WOT.

Zelda locks her reply.]

[Locked to Kage // 30% Unhackable]

What are you talking about?!

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT HER VIRGINITY FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T COTTONED ON YET

[Locked to Zelda // Unhackable]

Do I look like a surgeon? AMU can help y'get it back if you want it that badly.

[He's heard of girls having the morning-after regret, but Zelda is taking it pretty hard.]

Was it that bad, girl? Y'seemed happy enough.

[Locked to Kage // 30% Unhackable] -- ...... /brick'd

[oblique_wisdom]

......

I-I am not talking about that!

I...

[She's reddening. Oh, gods.]

Kage! S-stop misinterpreting me!

[Locked to Zelda // Unhackable]

[shenghuanzhe]

Ahhh-- Zeshat and Her Holy demons, girlie, I told you I ain't that smart. Y'mean this Seal of Mar thing, yeah?

[Locked to Kage // 30% Unhackable]

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda scoffs. So he's good for looks and the bedroom.]

Yes. That is what I am talking about. May I please have it back?

[And yes, Kage, she's living in utter denial that anything happened. Or trying to.]

[Locked to Zelda // Unhackable]

[shenghuanzhe]

[Zelda, you are an adorable, precious jewel if you think Redd keeps him around just for his looks and his ability to pull a trigger.]

Sure, sure. I'll drop it off at your place now.

[Click.

Well, Zelda, are you going to go and pick it up?]

[Locked to Kage // 30% Unhackable]

[oblique_wisdom]

...!

[Really? Just like that? She better get down to her room then. And she's hasty to do exactly that.]

Coming, coming.

...Really, I am.

...You are making this awfully easy on me.

[shenghuanzhe]

[Her door is ajar when she arrives there, and Kage's inside, looking through her window onto the ocean.]

[oblique_wisdom]

[She might look prim and proper, but Zelda's been forced into common clothing again. People seem to like it more anyway... right?

She pauses in her doorway.]

...Do you not see enough of the never-ending ocean from the other parts of the ship?

[Not that she hasn't spent lots of time looking out her own window.]

[shenghuanzhe]

[He glances over his shoulder and smiles when she addresses him, then turns his face back to the view.]

It ain't never ending'. There's islands and the Shore out there. That's th'end, at least for your passengers.

[oblique_wisdom]

[Hesitantly, she joins him at her window. She doesn't respond immediately. Zelda keeps to her words when she says them, even for people who are less than deserving.]

You do not remember, do you? No. I suppose you would not...

It is all right.

[Then she offers to him her right hand. Seal of Mar please, First Mate.]
