[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.

[pampa]

[ if that isn't the most damn relateable thing he's heard since he got here. ]

The game's always rigged, but it wouldn't suck to know how.

[blacksky]

[She lets out a breath of amusement. God doesn't she know as someone who sided with the Chaste who were basically born to lose.] That's what makes it so fun. I'm almost tempted to figure it out just for the sake of having more than one source of entertainment.

[pampa]

Well, if you ever wanna help with The Big Case, you know where to find me. [ he gestures all around them. ] Welcome to my office.

[blacksky]

[She grins.] I love what you've done with the place.

[pampa]

Pretty good, right. On such short notice too.

[blacksky]

More reasons to admire my favorite drinking buddy. [Elektra downs the rest of her drink and goes to stand.] I better run. If Max fails as the local enforcer, I assume I am going to be back up with my fancy ballet moves.

[She actually has the audacity to wink at him before taking off. Great breakfast. See you in like 6 hours for lunch!!!]

[pampa]

I'll let you borrow my gun if it gets that serious. [ no he has no idea what he's done ] Later, Earther.
