[ jax is leaned back in one of the seats on the gunnery observation deck, twisting his heavy rings round his finger. the comm is propped ostensibly on his monitor while jax slouches back, ill at ease. ]

While we're chewing over Odessa's offer, I got something else to put on the table.

[ more like a heads up. jax's expression is serious, the twist of his rings a more clear show of anxiety than he's displayed on comms in his entire stretch on the ship. ]

Our rescuers've got us surrounded. Sensors are picking up a mess of ships out there. I figured that's about as worthy of discussion as everything else she and her new best friend are puttin' on the table.

Might have some people, but I think Rey'd have her hands full with SEC stuff.

...I'd like to keep any kids outta danger, but I'd bet they'll be in a whole lot more trouble if we don't get everybody workin'?

[kutte]

Better keep the kids where we can see them. You know if we tell them to sit tight they're just gonna up and do what they want anyway.

[He manages something like an amused snort to cover up his worry.]

Right. They're good where it counts, at least.

I'll see if Muscovy's not too wrapped up in Medical, then.

[kutte]

Medical's not a bad spot for him. I'm guessing we're gonna be needing all hands on deck there too.

[foundafamily]

Yeah, I guess.

...Actually, I was kinda wonderin' if anybody who got hurt by weapons like the kinds on ships like these would be screwed anyway.

[He tries to sound relieved, as if Jax has convinced him that that's not the case. He's still not entirely sure, though.]

[kutte]

I've seen guys pull through worse shit before. We got a good team down in medical. They'll handle it.

[foundafamily]

Glad to hear it.

I'll be there in a jiffy.
