It was nearly time for her shift around the planes. Well, thirty more minutes, technically, but Tear always liked to arrive a little earlier. After all, if someone managed to learn their schedule, it would make sabotage attempts much easier to plan. It was better to remain unpredictable and constantly alert. However, barely had she began making her way out of the ship that she happened to glance back at it ( ... )

"Mn?" Sara mumbled something that sounded like a name. She blinked slowly a few times and took in the scene.

...Why was Ms. Grants carrying her.

"What's going on?"

mysterious_aura June 30 2009, 05:40:37 UTC

Hearing Sara begin to mumble an indiscernible word -- one that resembled a name, she believed -- Tear warily halted, jerking her gaze down towards the girl. Seeing her begin to take in her surroundings, the quartermaster could feel a relieved smile briefly flicker past her face.

"Good, you're alright," she stated, before a vague hint of concern returned to her expression that was, more often than not, impassively neutral. "I found you lying on the deck. What happened? Are you injured in any way?"

dontkillmebro June 30 2009, 06:20:37 UTC

She'd been what? Sara blanched and looked away. "I just worked too hard, that's all. Training for the races."

mysterious_aura June 30 2009, 06:44:54 UTC

A frown curved Tear's lips. "I see...can you stand?" She would say more in regards to Sara's response, but first, she needed to see if the girl was capable of standing on her own.

She nodded. "I think so, if you put me down." The blonde moved to get out of Tear's arms and wobble onto the deck.

mysterious_aura July 2 2009, 03:50:42 UTC

Tear gingerly lowered Sara back down, but, seeing the girl wobble, she soon found herself wondering if that was such a good idea. "You ought to rest. If you work too hard, you'll exhaust both your strength and your health."

dontkillmebro July 2 2009, 04:08:09 UTC

"But..." She looked down with a sigh. The other woman was right, of course. "All right. I will. I've just... been trying hard."

mysterious_aura July 2 2009, 04:15:47 UTC

Tear's expression softened by a fraction at the girl's words. "It's understandable, and your diligence is indeed admirable...but you have to keep in mind that you also want to be in fit condition when the race actually arrives." She paused for a second, as if to take another matter into consideration. "Are you worried about the outcome of the race?"

dontkillmebro July 2 2009, 05:37:28 UTC

"...I know." She wobbled again and steadied herself against the wall. "A little, I guess. It... seems like everybody is counting on me to win."

mysterious_aura July 2 2009, 12:05:59 UTC

"I see." Tear fell silent for a moment, taking the girl's words into consideration before speaking again. "These races can make everyone a little competitive, with the Silvana as no exception. They're only counting on you because they hope to prove that our ship has the best pilot. So if you should lose, they'll be disappointed that they won't be able to boast about it. However, that doesn't mean they believe you're incompetent. After all, they aren't simply relying on you because of their pride. They're relying on you because they believe you possess the talent and skill." She mildly crossed her arms ( ... )

dontkillmebro July 3 2009, 03:22:32 UTC

Sara thought about this for a second. "...Maybe you're right, but I'm still going to do what I can to win." She absently held her musical pendant. "I'm just thinking about something that someone said once."

mysterious_aura July 3 2009, 04:48:28 UTC

Tear tilted her head slightly, giving her an inquisitive gaze as her voice softened again. "What was it?"

dontkillmebro July 3 2009, 04:50:10 UTC

"Oh, it's... something my brother said once." She didn't look at Tear. "'Only you can do what you've decided to do. If you feel that way, nothing is impossible.' That's what it was."

mysterious_aura July 3 2009, 04:58:27 UTC

The way Sara spoke about her brother, Tear couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong. Did she miss him? That would be understandable, if not reminiscent of her own brother. "That's a nice saying. Just...don't overdo it." A slight frown accompanied this, an indication that she really didn't want to see the girl fainting out of exhaustion again.

dontkillmebro July 3 2009, 05:08:43 UTC

She fought back another yawn. "I won't, then. I'll go to sleep if I have to." She didn't really want to stop working, but she hadn't slept in two days... and when was the last time she ate, anyway?
