Sixty-Seventh Mission [Accidental Audio // Common]

[shadesofeco]

[The comm clicks on and there's a long silence, followed by rustling sheets. A deep murmur, and a softer, higher-pitched response. A slight groan.]

Nnnnnnngh. What di-- ... Zelda?

Hm...? Jak...?

[A distinct pause.]

...! Jak! ...Ah...

Oh god ... did we ... I mean ...

[More rustling and scrabbling, then someone leans against the comm.]

[What does she do? What did her tutelage teach her? Oh. Right. Nothing. Because princesses do not wake up with handsome elves.

A hand lifts and she brings it to her forehead. The entire ship has heard this. The entire ship. And Zelda's worked so hard to keep it all a secret. And now... This is so terrible.

And she looks like a mess. In his clothes. His clothes.]

...I... am so sorry. I do not know what possibly possessed me to... to...

[To do what? Zelda doesn't even know. She just knows it had to have been her responsibility.]

[shadesofeco]

[Jak is mortified. He stares at the comm in his hand, then throws it across the room, as if getting it as far away as possible might somehow fix things.]

Zelda, I ...

[Oh god, what did he do? His head is pounding, he barely remembers what happened. They were at Sergei's, and they talked, and ... came back here. He holds his head in his hands, then looks up at her with a wince.]

Sorry ...

[oblique_wisdom]

Why are you apologizing to me, silly? Do you not realize what this is going t--?

[She straightens her posture and taps her chin thoughtfully. What to do... What should she do? What should he do? What should they do?

Zelda takes a deep breath and she draws her knees to her chest. She doesn't feel nearly as bad as Jak looks like he does. He had a lot to drink, though. She only had... What? Two? Two was apparently enough to make her think that it wasn't improper to stay the night with him.

Although nothing seems to have happened. After all, she's in clothes. And she still has an earring in... and... the seal.]

Jak... What... do we say? What do you want us to tell them? You are the one who is going to have the...

[She peers over to him. Does he understand what she's trying to say?]

[shadesofeco]

[They didn't really do anything ... right? He doesn't think so. Not that it would be bad ... would it? Oh god his head hurts, why doesn't he think this shit through.]

I don't ... I mean ...

[He scrunches his nose and looks at her sideways, ears drooping a little.]

Is this bad?

[shadesofeco]

Uh ... nothing.

[pimp_hat]

Notin'. Really? Den can joo tell me why I be hearin' my liddle sistahs voice in da background?

[He sounds calm and collected, but there's a deadly edge to his tone. Really though he's amused as hell.]

[shadesofeco]

[He sounds flustered and hungover and utterly confused.]

She ... uh ...
