( nuala isn't often in the room given to her by the tranquility - so rarely, in fact, she hasn't been there since that very first broadcast that brought her to the ship's wider attention. she's there now, though, her hair still damp but tied low at the back of her neck, pulled out of her way, dressed in a simple gown of pale blue.

it's a bit more rumpled than she usually appears, but then, she's not alone, either. the beast periodically visible in the background of this broadcast may explain the slightly rueful pleasantness of her expression, and the fact she hasn't even bothered trying to straighten fabric she knows is likely to just get rumpled again the second her new friend decides she hasn't been paying enough attention to him (eg ALL OF HER ATTENTION). )

This fine gentleman's demeanor leads me to believe that he expects particular companionship. If that companionship is yours, you may collect him from the room number listed in this broadcast within the next hour, or from the elven flets any time after that.

Thank you.

--oh, no, no, my dear, it isn't a toy--!

[ wow, that looks way less like a dog than it does her world's brand of werewolf. the only reason sally believes otherwise is the fact that nobody's being eviscerated, but it still has her curious. ]

Probably a stupid question, but humor me here - what exactly is that?

( nuala is actually holding the gauntlet in her lap when she responds to this, to ensure no further incidents of playfulness. )

I'm afraid I don't know; he's unlike anything I've encountered.

( which takes some doing. )

[unmakes]

Fantastic, totally reassuring. [ except not so much. ]

text. because he may never video again.

[forgodssake]

Likely a product of the latest jump unless we weren't terribly vigilant in barring strays from our return from Arima.
I'll trust you've ascertained it's not a person in disguise.

text. because lol.

[favouring]

He's terribly boisterous; I couldn't have mistaken.

( because he jumped all over her as soon as he realized she was being nice to him. )

[askedtobe]

Looks can be deceiving, huh.

[favouring]

( amused-- )

I think him very handsome, Peter.

[askedtobe]

[ he's not even surprised. ]

You're sure the fact that he's a gentleman doesn't help?

[elvenking]

Please do not bring it into the flets unless you are confident that you can bring it back down.

( nuala laughs, briefly-- ) It is much quicker to simply say 'the flets', Thranduil, than it is to specify that I speak of the ground beneath them; they will see, after all, when they come.

( few people outside of the elves themselves can even reach the flets-- but more than several know which trees to come to. ergo. )

[Not what Riddick was expecting on looking through the network, but it wasn't the first time the ship had dragged something out of his past that was meant to be dead, and it probably won't be the last.

It's still a long while before he decides on answering at all.]

He can find his way.

[favouring]

( a pause, and then, reasonably: ) From the gardens, then.

voice;

[20mentholkools]

[The gardens is an even worse option, and Riddick's tone sets slightly harder.]

Let him loose. He can find his way.

[it's just a small little boy of vaguely european and asian heritage staring quietly at the dog with wide eyes and a hesitantly yearning demeanor. you have found damian's one weakness nuala and it is fluffy things.]

[favouring]

Hello, there, young one.

[born_this_wayne]

[damian gives her a faintly wary look, mouth downturned because it's basically always frowning okay even a weird jackadog isn't going to change that.

the gentleness behind nuala's address is strange and unfamiliar to him, but the elegance of her speech and manner reminds him vaguely of his mother, so he'll settle for viewing her from that lens for now.

carefully, that is.]

... hi.

[ For once, Carolyn is in her own room as well. There's an orange tabby on her lap, suspiciously eyeing the proceedings. ]

If he belongs to Riddick and he's not going to go and get him, I can make sure he gets to him.

[ She knows why Riddick won't go get the creature, even if she doesn't know the whole story there. ]

Carolyn Fry, yes? From the flight crew?

( nuala is trying to stay appraised of the ship, especially since she's the member of xenogen most likely to have to coordinate with other divisions. )

I'd be happy to give him into your hands, for that-- perhaps from the gardens? I don't linger on this deck.

[wolfchild]

[ since she can't see carolyn-- ] I know whose it is. He'll be in the shuttle bay. If it won't attack Nymeria, I can walk it there, my lady.

[favouring]

I thank you, Arya; Carolyn Fry has stepped forward to do so.

[nightblogs]

Damn, girl, where'd you get that alien dog?

[favouring]

( the pause is. ...well, there is such a pause. )

He was on the floor of my designated quarters.

[northerner]

Has someone claimed him, Nuala?

[favouring]

Several someones, though I gather the second and third on behalf of the first.

( she tucks her disappointment at not being able to keep him away, but it's-- there. )
