Brig, walls closing in...

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::paces to brig doorway as footsteps echo approach outside, peering through slats of light, tensing::

::relaxes slightly in relief as a tiny figure topped with golden hair rounds the corner::

::moves gaze to her escort as they approach and pause just outside the door, forcing tones to level cool::

Open the door and let me see her.

Comments

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::watches as Renara is carried off down the corridor struggling, forcing down urge to go after her::

::turns back to mirrorlinnis, straightening::

Talk.

[mirrorlinnis]

::purses lips in consideration, then motions him out of brig::

Walk with me.

::arches brow::

Unless you like it in that cess pit.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

No fond memories for the old prison scrapbook as of yet, no.

::follows, glancing discretely around::

Rather empty. I take it I'm low priority to everyone but you?

[mirrorlinnis]

Don't be flattered. I hold none of the familial fealty my double may for you.

::spares a look back as they turn a corner::

I would hope that having been aboard the NX-Enterprise during the Emperor's games, you'd buy into the double nonsense without in depth explanation.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::snorts, running a hand through sweaty hair::

I had my run ins with that nightmare long before your Emperor came along.

And believe me, it didn't take long to tell you apart from my daughter.

At least her insanity is a little less grunge.

[mirrorlinnis]

::pauses when they reach lift, amused smile touching corners of lips::

It's an intriguing relationship, the one you seem to have with your Linnis.

[ltcmdrtomparis]

What's that supposed to mean?

::shrugs::

You could call it that.

::watches as she sequences destination into lift, frowning::

And uh. Your version...

Re:

[mirrorlinnis]

Of you?

::smiles sharply as lift descends::

I suppose he must have a few things in common with his counterparts, but I wouldn't know, only having seen him once...

Re:

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::considers briefly, grimacing at the possibility of hearing about more off kilter doubles, but seeking a way to draw her out::

Sounds like there's a story there you've been waiting to share with someone.

Re:

[mirrorlinnis]

Or maybe I prefer to let it fester.

::spares a sidelong glance, tapping nails on thigh impatiently as lift slows::

When I decide you need to know certain things I'll inform you.

Re:

[ltcmdrtomparis]

::lifts brow sharply but bites tongue::

All right then. But mind if I ask what this little stroll is about?

Re:

[mirrorlinnis]

::nods slightly as lift stops, preceding him out and leading the way down a short maintenance corridor::

I have something to show you.

::inputs code to open bay doors, nodding toward the sleek craft nestled within::
