[adapt_or_die]

[Right after Marissa's message:]

Please-

[Her voice is soft, almost desperate, and for once she looks like a vulnerable teenage girl.]

Please don't listen to her.

[She just wanted some peace on the ship and now this.]

(ooc: even if you've only talked to her once, if it was friendly, you count.)

Comments

[onemistress]

[ She hums a moment, because she can hear that. ]

No one shall. As far as I can tell there is some rule of justice, and no action will be taken by her.

[ she sighs, a little hesitant. ] If you worry to sleep or stay alone, you are welcome to come to me anytime you please.

[adapt_or_die]

I hope you're right.

[Because she got tired of running and fighting back home, she doesn't want to do it here too.

She looks up though, surprised.] Thank you but I don't want to bother you. I don't think I'll sleep much anyway.

[onemistress]

So do I.

[ There's a sympathy there that is not just for Hanna, but for herself. She is tired of blood, of violence. But it's gone in a minute, and instead she laughs quietly. ] It is not as generous sounds, I am rather unused to being so alone. [ a relief in some ways, lonely in others. ]

[adapt_or_die]

[Hanna can understand that. A lot of people never realize how that wears on someone.

So the laugh and admission brings a small smile to Hanna's lips.] I'll come by then. Whenever you want me to.

[onemistress]

[ It didn't take long to make you feel ancient in some regards. ]

I should like that. We could read, if you like. Or simply talk. I would enjoy your company either way.

[adapt_or_die]

Whichever you like best, I wouldn't mind either. [Hanna's really easy to get along with in some respects.]

[onemistress]

Then we shall do both. And dance if you think to learn. I miss that of home too. [ Elizabeth will happily encourage it all. ]

[adapt_or_die]

Dance? [That's a pretty foreign idea for Hanna too. But yes, encourage all you can Elizabeth. Show Hanna everything she's been missing.]

[onemistress]

[ she nods, finding a topic she's comfortable with. ] Yes, dance, to music if I could find some way to have it, but that might take some more work.

[adapt_or_die]

Robin has some music. He played it when he showed me the holodeck.

[She could ask and find some way to get music to Elizabeth.]

[onemistress]

[ excuse her and the twinge she feels when she hears the name Robin, but it's faint now. ]

And did you enjoy it?

[adapt_or_die]

[She notices but something tells her not to pry.]

I did. I've only heard music a couple of times before, I like it a lot so far.

[onemistress]

[ she tsks, a low click pressed careful against her teeth. ]

That is a shame, it is pity you cannot attend to court, we have music every night near.

[adapt_or_die]

I wish I could see it. It must be amazing, hearing music every night.

[onemistress]

I would show you, if I could. Court is a beautiful thing, and I am sure many would compose you a song of your own, if you wished that too.

[ Rather Elizabeth would tell them too and they would scramble to do what she wished, because Queen. ]

[adapt_or_die]

[Hanna's cheeks turn a little pink and she shakes her head.]

I'm not so sure about that.

[onemistress]

[ She laughs with her, quietly, of course. ]

Oh I am quite sure of it.

[adapt_or_die]

I'm nothing special.

[Well, maybe a few things but nothing song-worthy.]
