Ship - Tranquility - I have a bit of a crisis-
So I need everyone to stop a moment and think very hard, and I mean incredibly hard, about this, because forget the bloody temperature and the mess with all that and everything else because, well.
...I've run out of tea.
Proper tea, not the space tea that tastes like the stuff you get from the blank boxes that they sell at the Co-op. Or worse, the off-stuff from Tescos.
Does anyone have real tea?

Come on, Annie. Own it. You're looting. This is dangerous, this is exciting--you're like one step away from vadalising a wall or something.

Mitchell, focus!

Meet you in the gardens?

Annie?
[Looting dates! Why can't they ever do anything normal. Wait, obvious answer...]
action;
Mitchell, I can't find it-
[Basically an admission - yes, she's been looking already!]
action;
Well, the gardens are a big place, yeah?
[He reaches to grip at her arms, bracing and gentle all at once.]
Come on. It's bound t' be around here somewhere--and if everyone's forgotten about it, they won't have raided it for emergency teas. We just have to find it.

action;
No one drank all the tea. If anyone did, it was us. All right? Now come on, let's have a look.
action;
I should have been more cautious, I should have saved more-
action;
[He squeezes her hand.]
You didn't think about it. Who would? People don't think, about conservation, when it's something everyday, like tea. It's nothing you did or didn't do.

Because it's important. It's your-- thing. It's what you do. You make tea for people, you help people. But it's not just tea, Annie. You're much more than that.
Re: action;
But it's how...I'm useful.
action;
[He grips at her hand in turn, squeezing back.]
You're so much more than mugs of tea. It's you, it's not the tea--and that's the other thing, you don't have to be useful, to anyone. You don't live your life for other people like that.
action;
Without you and George, I feel like I'll just disappear.
action;
And you mean so much to me. Jesus, I'd go back to purgatory a hundred times for you. You aren't going anywhere, and neither are we.
action;
Kisses him.
Spontaneously, on the edge of his mouth.]
Hush. No worrying.
action;
Hey, who's worrying-- I'm not the one worried about tea. What was that for?
action;
[And a smile]
For you.
action;
[But he mutters that to himself; he can't even pretend to be angry or irritated when she's just kissed him and said something like that.]
For me? But you missed.
