::runs to the door, Porthos barking... is only one in quarters, dad running the ship, Lottie's off with Aunt Maddy... pop... well, pop, yeah::

::could be someone with news::

::opens the door fast--::

...

Aw. Hey, Nara...

::Porthos wags his tail, sniffs her legs, Henry spins on heels, slumping back into the room::

C'mon in.

Don't look too happy to see me... What happened to your eye?

::turns, walks backward a few steps, arms swinging out a little::

What, you didn't hear? I thought everyone knew...

::stops up against the desk, glancing around at the things on the shelf, picking at a couple of the pictures there::

Nothing. I'm fine.

You know I don't pay much attention to gossip.

*comes in, sits down casually*

And I didn't ask if you were fine. I asked what happened to your eye. *looks at him pointedly*

*shrugs*

But, if you don't want to talk about it...

July 27 2005, 04:05:08 UTC 6 years ago

No, not... really... ::sighs, is a half-hearted reply anyway::

::thumbs through a book, avoiding looking at her::

'Course I'm happy to see you... whatcha doing?

Well... I need to practise flying some, and using the controls in the shuttlepod. But we can't leave the ship, so... I was thinking I was going to try some simulations on one of the shuttlepods.

I was thinking you might like to come with me. *smiles*

::looks up, biting lip as thinks about it... really likes the shuttles, isn't allowed around them hardly at all, but Nara does have special permission::

::smiles a little in spite of himself::

You're not afraid I'll push something I'm not supposed to?

[info]renara_paris

July 27 2005, 04:13:15 UTC 6 years ago

Well, if I'm watching you, it shouldn't be a problem, now, should it?

::wrinkles nose at her, poking around the controls but NOT touching anything::

Gah, why don't you just kiss it and get it over with.

::swivels the seat around just behind her::

::smiles back::

::plops into the seat, checking out the sides and back::

They making these smaller? I used to get swallowed up in it.

[info]renara_paris

July 27 2005, 06:16:51 UTC 6 years ago

*snorts* Yes. They've decided to start making them smaller to confuse you.

::shoots her a look::

What'd they do-- ::eyes narrow, kicks at her chair::

You better start your similating.

::buckles the restraint, head bending back as looks around the controls::

This is so neat. What's it like to fly? I mean, to actually be the one to fly?

[info]renara_paris

July 27 2005, 06:23:06 UTC 6 years ago

It's... freeing.

[info]henry_reed

July 27 2005, 06:24:21 UTC 6 years ago

::eyes keep scanning everything around::

Yeah? Free from what?

[info]renara_paris

July 27 2005, 06:27:39 UTC 6 years ago

Everything. Thoughts... voices... influence.

It's like... I'm in complete control. I don't have to be anyone but myself, I don't have to feel anything but what I feel on the inside.

::leans forward, elbows on knees so can see her better::

Yeah... must be kinda hard for you, hearing everyone. Dad doesn't pop in much any more... my sister's okay about it, we talk now and then but... I used to want to hear more, but now... dunno.

::shrugs::

So it gets quiet out there for you?

I don't know exactly. It's like a giant resort. There's beaches there, and people who'll bring you funny drinks or something. One time, while I was doing a training exercise, Travis told me about when they all went to Risa, and he even saw moving rocks.

[info]henry_reed

July 28 2005, 07:44:55 UTC 6 years ago

::looks at Nara funny, then smiles::

No way... rocks don't move. He had to be joking with you...

::traces finger along the edge of the console::

So you'd wanna go to Risa? ::chews on lip a second:: I think I'd like to go to Earth.

[info]renara_paris

July 28 2005, 07:52:52 UTC 6 years ago

I think he was telling the truth. He said he broke his leg.

Risa sounds interesting, but I know I'd like to go to Earth. *smiles*

July 28 2005, 08:01:44 UTC 6 years ago

Really? Howcome?

Me and Lottie, we're supposed to be there, you know... being human and all that. Well, all human.

Is it because of your grandfather?

[info]renara_paris

July 28 2005, 08:03:46 UTC 6 years ago

Just in general. Everyone talks about it. It's not like it appeals only to humans- it's just really important to everyone, so I want to see it. I want to experience it.

[info]henry_reed

July 28 2005, 08:07:36 UTC 6 years ago

...

You wouldn't be, like, scared? Because you're... different? Like, you grow different and all?

[info]renara_paris

July 28 2005, 08:08:33 UTC 6 years ago

Why should I be?

[info]henry_reed

July 28 2005, 08:12:26 UTC 6 years ago

::shrugs a little, looks at her::

I think my parents are scared about us. Me and Charlotte. They don't talk about it in front of us, but we hear them talking sometimes when they think we're asleep.

...

You grow fast too, I just thought maybe... you should be careful.
