( 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--!

I'm no stranger to the type. ( wryly. )

[ Still horribly amused: ] I seem to remember something like that.

[ Though her gaze flickers down to the cat in her lap, slight grin turning down into a pensive frown. ]

Though if this animal belongs to Riddick, maybe more things have changed than I thought.

He seems an independent creature, to my eye, but very much-- expectant?

( nuala thinks companionship in the sense she's accustomed to seems more likely than a pet, per se, but maybe that's just personal bias and her own immediately-stirred affection.

she's just leaving aside the oblique references - which she started - to her brother. it's funny if she lets it be; it will go too quickly somewhere less amusing if she allows herself frankness on the topic, especially when she's still holding balor's silver hand in her lap. )

Still.

[ The creature is not like some of the animals she's seen on the ship -- not even like her cats, which are quite independent in their own right. ]

Even that much is a change. But if it's true-- a good one, I hope.

[ Carolyn shakes her head suddenly; Nuala hardly needs her to babble on about Riddick and things like feelings. ]

I suppose I'll have to make sure he doesn't try to chew on any shuttles.

He'll need exercise and occupation-- he seems an intelligent beast, I'd think the worst danger would be allowing him to grow bored or lonely.

( let her take him on walks, carolyn and riddick!!!! )

[ look she's not taking any responsibility for this thing but she will ]

As long as he doesn't try to eat my cats.

( the faintly concerned glance nuala casts towards him is-- comforting, surely. )

Some precaution may be wise.

( just in case. )
