[55.00] Going hungry in 3... 2...

Jul 17, 2009 22:41

[Erol is a light sleeper. And it's been a few days since his beating, so he isn't resting quite as heavily as he was. So the bump and scuffle that turns his comm on is the same that wake him up.

His hand is on the knife beneath his pillow before he's even fully awake, though his guard eases when he sees it's no threat. Just an annoyance.]

...Oh...!
You got one as well...

[Zelda's laughing. It's soft, though. Gurgling children need to stay resting.]

This is a ship-wide issue, then?

Perfect.

Do not mistreat it. Children need care and tenderness. Otherwise they grow up bitter.

... Ah. Yes. Naturally.

[Erol's only pretending to know what she's talking about, and as he's hurting and sleepy, the act isn't as water-tight as normal - hesitation betraying his reserve.

He thinks he turned out fine.]

I must confess, I'm... not a particularly good match for either trait.

[Dammit, if the little beast ends up dead he'll have to hide it from her if he wants to keep this thing going. Of all the inconveniences.]

Erol? Are you alright? Is there a baby in your room, too?

[That's right, he'd been holed up in his room - more or less - since Praxis beat him for an intel flub. She hadn't seen. He was still limping and the Baron had re-opened his stomach wounds - which was pretty impressive, considering how old they'd been - so he couldn't in all honesty answer that he was fine. He was still a little too sleepy to lie to Christine, so he just doesn't answer that question.]

There is. And a rat - Daxter's here.

[If ever there was a name spat with more contempt and loathing...]

[Don't think she didn't miss that, Erol. When it comes to the health of her boyfriend, Christine is the most attentive person there ever was. Still, for now she'll leave it be. Perhaps she can go and check on him when everything has settled down.]

Daxter? Oh dear, that's not good at all.

[She's now fully expecting the captain to announce Erol has been thrown in the brig for murder any time now. Even though she doesn't hate Daxter quite as much as the others who captured Erol (hey, he's small, fuzzy, and charming okay?), she knows that Erol himself absolutely hates him. And a little rodent-person like Daxter can't look after a baby... oh dear, she might have to do a little adopting.]

[Erol needs someone attentive. God knows HE doesn't always take care of himself.]

No, it isn't.

It'll be a miracle if any one of us survives this, frankly.

[He's partially joking. After all, neither Daxter nor the baby are equipped to kill Erol.]

[Daxter's having a panic attack at the mo'.]

I don't know, okay?! I don't even know.

[Commentlog] That icon is so cute, I love his ickle back legs psychoticracer July 18 2009, 18:26:17 UTC
[This is an appropriate reaction.]

You didn't bring it with you?

... How did you get in here.

[For the moment, he's not moving to kill either one of them. This may or may not be influenced by the well-developed bruises that are visible on bare skin. There's a REALLY nice one that stretches from cheek to jaw on one side of his face, though he's somehow managed to avoid a black eye.]

I woke up in here! [Daxter stays crouched, eyes darting about to find the nearest exit. He can make a dash if he has to.]

[At least the little weasel's terrified of him. This satisfies Erol, but seems to upset the baby, which whimpers and reaches for the ottsel for comfort.

This entire situation stinks of boat madness. Erol scowls and reaches for his comm.

Yes, there's a video post from Redd, and confused posts from several other passengers. Lovely.]

Bloody hell. Captain's doing.
