[admiraltucker]

*saunters down corridor, heading to ready room to report progress on repairs to Mallos at end of shift*

*nods greeting to a few crewmen as passes*

*passes Fuller*

Wonder what's up with him.... seems a little more freaked than normal.

*arrives at ready room, chimes door*

[emperorreed]

::hears chime, stands and moves to front of desk, leaning on it, bringing dagger into hands and playing with it::

Enter!

::waits until door opens, eyes narrow in concentration::

::throws dagger::

::it lands in wall beside door, inches from Tucker's head::

[admiraltucker]

*turns head idly as dagger lands in wall*

*reaches up and yanks it out by the hilt, almost bored with the situation*

*walks over to Mallos, flips the dagger so is holding it by blade*

Your dagger, sir.

[emperorreed]

::voice low, almost a growl::

Thank you.

::puts dagger in mouth sideways as takes jacket off, then drops it onto hand before sheathing it in waist holster::

What do you want?

And if you're going to tell me bad news, it's almost welcome...

::rubs hands idly::

I'm almost itching to kill some more crewmembers...

Want to volunteer..

::moves closer to Charles, looking over his body::

I'd have fun breaking you..

:tilts head to examine closer::

[emperorreed]

::comes up quickly beside Charles::

:;whacks hand onto closed doors before Charles can open them, eyes wild, almost angry::

What's that supposed to mean, Admiral?

I do nothing that I'm not in control of...

You'd do best to remember that.

[admiraltucker]

*stares at door for a moment before looking at Mallos, eyes flashing anger*

What's that supposed to mean?

You know damn well what it means.

Tell me, sir, why is it I'm your fortunate victim instead of Archer? Why me and not your *spits the words* kept man?

Despite your 'rules', I've gotten to you, and you don't know what to do about it.

[emperorreed]

::moves closer again, can't help it::

Archer is flying my ship... you're the one who happened to come here when you did... coincidence... nothing more...

...

::puts hand on Charles' bare waist, watching own movement as it skirts round to his back::

...

I'm still relishing the kill... on a high.. that's all...

[admiraltucker]

*doesn't move as Mallos strokes his bare skin*

Just a case of me being in the right place at the wrong time?

*snorts softly*

Like hell.

*opens the door and walks out*
