[It's his first time talking to everyone, and he's actually sleepy for once but he's not really acting it. Except to you know, be a little more grumpy then normal not that you can tell because he has his helmet on.]

Whoever taught a certain person how to only make green gelatin can you please teach her something else? She's smart, she can handle something more complex then that.

Or you know maybe things you can do with it. At least if you can't sleep it's something to do and I'll even see if I can do something for you in return for teaching her.

[Wait a minute he's forgetting something here...]

And if you've dealt with a woman who says she's a goddess I'm sorry.

[No he's not going to expand on why he's sorry he just is.]

[SPUTTER SPUTTER. SHE IS DISPLEASED.]

Excuse me, Spartan.

[CRAP.]

Yes, Juliana?

[Have a long, firm look.]

Why are you apologizing?

[Just his usual flat tone of voice here, nothing to give him away.]

Because you're [Crazy. Rampant.] not what they're used to I expect, being a goddess.

[Shut up she is already putting her clothes on BY THE WAY hope he enjoys that eyeful of half-naked goddess thank you very much.]

I'm unique. Wholly original. They need me.

[Does she sound desperate and angry? Yes, she does. Insomnia does funny things to a person.]

[BEING NAKED DOESN'T BOTHER HIM, YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG HALO. Plz see the other one I play for sputtering kthx.

He moves to almost rub at his head because of his hair then stops because he has his helmet on.]

I didn't claim they didn't. Just apologizing for how you can be.

[Fine, fine. She'll just look at him sternly and pout. She will pout so hard it will go straight through his armor, right to his cold, hardened heart. Or something.]

You need me, too.

[Uhuh, right whatever you say. He's just going to pull his helmet off and give her a look.]

I wouldn't have asked for cooking lessons for you if I didn't.

[And he's even offering to do things to get her those lessons. That's true Spartan love.]

[Once the helmet comes off, she smiles somewhat sleepily.]

You want me to cook for you.

[His head is itchy, okay?]

Well if you want to cook for me, I just think you should make something more then what you know now.

[She's pulling on a flowy blouse and a jacket and heading his way!]

Can I cook for you later? I'll try to learn to make something else.

[He's just staying still and shrugging.]

If you want to you can. Just don't push it if you're sleepy.

Mm.

[She stops.]

I am sleepy. Have you slept in a while?

[And she sways a bit.]

[...Standing up now to go looking for her if she falls.]

No, I haven't but I don't sleep a lot. Have you?

[No, no, she'll be fine! She just kind of leans on the wall for a second and fusses with her hair.]

I can't remember. I have something to show you, so I'm going to come do that.

[UHUH. Just watching her like a hawk now.]

Sounds good, I have something to show you too. Maybe you'll recognize it.

[Ah, that lights her up, and she pushes away from the wall, teetering a bit oddly before she makes for his room. Just a door or two more, really.]

I know you'll recognize this. But I won't let you touch it unless you apologize.

[Yeah he's really not too far away from her is he?]

What do I have to apologize for?

[Convenience! She's almost there, but she stops.]

Apologizing.

[Does not compute. He actually looks a little confused.]

You want me to apologize to you, for apologizing for you?

Correct.

[Walking again... Shuffling. Stopping. Leaning on a door. Happens to be his.]

You're undermining my status.

[Staring at the door wondering if it's her, but he's got a hand on his knife off screen.]

I am? I thought I was showing how benevolent you are by apologizing for you without being punished. That you're followers can relate to you.

[Juliana quirks her lips to the side, then frowns.]

You're manipulating my emotions.

[AND HOW DARE YOU DO SO, SIR?]

[HE DOES IT ALL THE TIME!!!]

No, I'm not. Just saying that's what I meant. [BIG FAT LIE.]

Besides if I didn't like you I wouldn't do it.

[So maybe he's teasing her a smidge?? Maybe watching out for her, showing everyone that she has him around to protect her. Or something. Man he's sleepy.]

[LOOK. OKAY. Just because she's so taken with her Spartan, he's just going to play on her emotions? How will she ever regain her dignity??

But that's a good point. It pretty clearly shows everyone that he cares about her... Even if it's in an antagonistic fashion. Yes, if she bends it just so, it's nothing more than teasing. Like schoolchildren. If he pulls her hair, she might give him a juice box.

Juliana giggles and shuts off the feed before turning around and leaning on the door again.]

Spartan.

[It's just shy of sing-song.]

[Look he doesn't even know how to show affection in a proper way, going from the streets where he looked out for everyone, to Reach and the Spartan Program left a lot of that out of his life. So really this is how he shows he cares, no real bending needed you just have to know him.

And he'd totally take her juice box if she gave it to him and pretend he didn't want it.

So he's just going to shut his feed off and open the door.]

Get in here before you fall over.

[But... what if she wants a knight in shining armor? She kinda does...

She'll settle for tumbling on in, reaching out to him jovially and grabbing his arm if he doesn't properly cach her.]

Too late. Hello, Jai.

What's wrong with green jello?

[ the things you'll talk about when massively deprived of sleep, man. ]

Buddy, don't take this the wrong way. But I think you're a droid.

Is that an open call for help, or are you actually wanting the person who, er, taught that recipe to, to remedy their mistake?

Oh, but green gelatin is the best!

[Pause.]

There's actually a woman here who believes she's a goddess? Is she, er, very unstable..?

You responsible for her?

[Why the hell are you apologizing, dude.]

[...yeah that was totally Delta's fault.]

If I have caused you difficulty, I do apologize.
