[Elektra's idea of a greeting is simply to acknowledge his presence by looking at Miller and returning to her drink. She watches him with that tiny twinge of curiosity and envy as he pours his drink. That always looks cool to her. She kind of hates him for it!!] Show off.

[pampa]

Yeah, well, I have an unfair advantage. [ as well she knows. he takes a long sip to steady himself, closing his eyes for a moment but not reacting otherwise despite the burn. ] How long you been saving this seat for me, huh?

[blacksky]

At least an hour. I couldn't let one of those animals get it. [She flashes one of her charm school smiles even if she kind of means it. The others tend to annoy her. Shocker.]

[pampa]

I guess I should be flattered, right? That I'm not in that category. [ he smiles, a little sharky. he thinks they get each other pretty well by now just from drinking side by side. ] You missed me, didn't you?

[blacksky]

[Elektra nods, both eyebrows raised. Obviously everyone should be flattered to be in her good graces. She shrugs the rest. Like she's going to admit that!!! But, okay she kind of did.] You're decent entertainment. Besides if anything really interesting happens around here, you'd tell the class.

[pampa]

If only to see all the Earthers lose their shit, yeah. You got that right.

[blacksky]

[She snorts.] You're always picking on us. I think you're jealous of our Starbucks and fantastic skin.

[Elektra pauses thoughtfully.] Alright that last one only belongs to me. I really don't know what else we have going for us. Pie? I love that.

[pampa]

[ he snorts, she's always good for a laugh. also he has no idea what starbucks is so ??? ]

We have pie. We're not complete heathens. [ gesturing with his cup before a long sip. it's a terrible excuse for pie, don't listen to him. he just wouldn't know the difference. ]

[blacksky]

[She takes a long sip herself, pointing to him once it's down.] But, is it good pie? The pie on Earth is heavenly. I would consider killing you for a slice of it right now.

[pampa]

I like it. I wouldn't kill you for it, though. [ shruuug ] Mostly 'cause then who would I drink with?

[blacksky]

[Elektra looks so delighted by his response.] That's exactly why I wouldn't kill you too! It's endless entertainment versus a moment of pleasure. It's hardly worth it.

[pampa]

Mmm, smart and beautiful. What are you doing hanging around me again?

[blacksky]

I told you already. You're entertaining! [She chuckles in response.] Do you have any idea how mind numbingly boring everyone else is? I'll give you a hint. If I had to pick my favorite man on the ship, it'd be the dog. That's how much I like the rest of them.

[Apparently talking to another woman never crossed her mind.]

[pampa]

[ he has to snort ] Glad to be of service. [ he clinks their glasses together before taking another drink ]

I don't even like that dog and, same.

[blacksky]

[She looks at him like he's crazy once the drink is down on the table. Yes, that's what she finds odd after all this.] What? How can you not like him? He's a delightful little thing.

[pampa]

Little? He's the size of a house.

[blacksky]

Only if you're a child and even then you'd have such a good view of his stupid face you wouldn't even notice. [Her eyes narrow in curiosity.] Is this a space thing? Do you not have dogs?

[pampa]

[ a space thing. people really have to stop saying that to him. ]

What's a dog even supposed to do on a space station?

[blacksky]

I suppose rip the throat of whoever is doing this to us or causing trouble. [She smiles like it's funny.] Even you have to know it's only a matter of time before someone starts acting up.

[pampa]

Ohhh, okay, so he's the enforcer. Now I get it.

[ he takes a thoughtful sip. ]

In that case, I guess he can stay.

[blacksky]

[She chuckles.] How generous of you.

[pampa]

That girl? Uh, Karen. I see him with her, and she's my next-door neighbor. At least he's not a loud dog.

[ he thinks all dogs are loud and scary thanks american television ]

[blacksky]

Karen. [She repeats. What are the odds.... except actually quite good since that's Frank's dog. The way Karen went on about him that night made it clear she felt a strong connection to that man. Maybe it worked both ways.] Blond hair? Blue eyes? Strong opinions?

[pampa]

[ he chuckles. ] Yeah, that's the one. She has an affinity for the truth - I guess I can respect that.

[blacksky]

[She raises both eyebrows. That is worthy of respect in her opinion too.] The truth is hard to come by especially here. It's been a while since I didn't know the game I was playing.
