He had thought he had gotten over that. "Not unless you know a bunch about space travel and possibly genetics, depending on the range of 'help'." His eyes are burning again, and he wishes Reese could numb the nerves without sending him blind or insane. Well, more insane than he already likely is. Quote He's not insane, he just needs some help, to clarify.

Enter knows a lot about space travel, and I know enough about genetics."

Fox whispered incredulously, silent tears finding their way down her face. "I... but then... I..." Tears continue to fall from my right eye. I gently remove Ember's arm and lean forward. I allow my love and warmth flow through as I gently take Fox into my embrace. I allow the slight breeze that carried my voice to her to end. Silently I embrace her. I speak no words and simply allow my presence to say what I know she needs. Circestran removes her hand from Fox's shoulder and wraps her in an embrace of her own. @Channelknight Fadran Quote Happy? @Mist Edited October 14, 2020 by Nathrangking 3

He know he looks crazy right now, but it's not inaccurate, now is it? "I'm sorry. You don't... oh. I'm so sorry. My eyes got turned the wrong color. They shouldn't be this... shade." He gestures at his irises, an ice-blue almost white. "There was some unwanted gene manipulation, and while the other effects are just fine, I don't like seeing this in the mirror."

Circestran removes her hand from Fox's shoulder and wraps her in an embrace of her own. @Channelknight Fadran Fox's tears increased as Nath and Circe embraced her, and she smiled softly. Everything was going to be okay. For the first time in a very long time, Fox realized she had a love for the softness of these things called hugs. She should've given them a better chance. Two words escaped Fox's lips in something that could barely be called a whisper. Fox didn't know if Nath would hear her, and she didn't care. "Thank you." 3

He doesn't know, Martin thinks, breathing as steadily as possible. His ribs still hurt from Serbia, he notes idly. Fadran doesn't know what he's done. Fresh start. He can do this.
DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Queen slightly pushes Fadran to the side so she can see better. "I just want to know how all of these people are getting onto the ship. We're in the middle of the flicking ocean for twirl's sake!!"

"And your name is?" He hates this part of a mission. Being clueless is dangerous.

Who knew they had grown this close? From across the hallway, T watches as well, noticing Ember having stepped back.

Martin nods absently, wishing Jaya could have come on this mission. The doctor is the best at talking to people. Reese is good, but like Martin, she's blunt. "It's nice to meet you, Q. What ocean are we on?" Making conversation is how you get to know people. Right?
