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?
::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.
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.
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.
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.

::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.

July 27 2005, 03:52:38 UTC 6 years ago
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.
July 27 2005, 03:58:49 UTC 6 years ago
*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
::thumbs through a book, avoiding looking at her::
'Course I'm happy to see you... whatcha doing?
July 27 2005, 04:08:09 UTC 6 years ago
I was thinking you might like to come with me. *smiles*

Gah, why don't you just kiss it and get it over with.
::swivels the seat around just behind her::
July 27 2005, 06:13:41 UTC 6 years ago
July 27 2005, 06:15:39 UTC 6 years ago
::plops into the seat, checking out the sides and back::
They making these smaller? I used to get swallowed up in it.

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

July 27 2005, 06:24:21 UTC 6 years ago
Yeah? Free from what?
July 27 2005, 06:27:39 UTC 6 years ago
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.
July 27 2005, 06:35:08 UTC 6 years ago
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?

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.
July 28 2005, 07:52:52 UTC 6 years ago
Risa sounds interesting, but I know I'd like to go to Earth. *smiles*
July 28 2005, 08:01:44 UTC 6 years ago
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?
July 28 2005, 08:03:46 UTC 6 years ago
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?
