[ Furrows his brow a little as he also takes a bite of fish. ]

It seemed liked you were fairly convinced that it would take at least a little of the edge off.

I was, but after talking with you, I think I realize it's more hassle than it's worth.

I offered to one person. If they accept I'll go with it. Otherwise, I'll just have to hope someone new that shows up is an old fling.

Then I will hope that either of those things come to pass for you.

[ Sam nods. ]

So, how are you since we last talked?

[ Raises an eyebrow and reaches over to poke Sam lightly in the forehead. ]

Since last time we talked? So formal.

[ puffs cheeks. ]

Well I mean, you let me take that nap, which was amazing by the way and I can't thank you enough for it.

[ because he can't imagine how much worse his last couple days would have been without it, to be honest. ]

I wasn't fishing for a compliment.

But since you asked, I'm doing as well as can be expected. This afternoon I plan to start working on some of the criteria for restoring the library.

I known you weren't!

Ahh, that'll be nice.

Not gonna lie that the fact the rest of this ship sounds like it's in disrepair is really creepy, though. Yikes.

Are you concerned for its structural integrity?

Yes, especially if Forge starts trying to take it apart.

Ships are decommissioned and retired for a good reason.

. . . Would we perpetually drown in such a scenario?

Yes.

[ Picks at his fish. How dreadful. ]

I did not to bring up such a morbid topic. We've had more than enough of that in the past few days.

Is there any location you would like to see added to the ship?

Don't worry, I think it's a pretty valid concern.

A seafood buffet, a designer shopping strip, a zen type of place to watch the stars, something where I can practice archery and other things.

I did not know you were a fan of stargazing.

Yeah. My favorite. Hard to do in the city.

Have you had any luck here? It's fairly dark and quiet up on deck after hours. Though I don't know if the ship itself would cause too much light pollution for you to see the stars.

Haven't actually... usually do it with my pets and Virga back home, but feels like too much to bother here by myself. I have Virga, but she's not functioning correctly and so far Forge hasn't been able to help me figure out why. She can still take pictures and things but her telephoto lens are not swapping. I'm not even sure if there's a good comfy spot on deck to camp out. There should be definitely dark enough parts of the ship, in theory, though ...

Also, not gonna lie, this ship kinda creeps me out at night.

[ Just at night? Jun is slowly sliding into being creeped out 24/7. ]

There are suitable places up on deck though they require you to bring your own blankets and such. I could show you a few sometime and you can see if any of them seem suitable for what you would like to do.

[ Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows my sorrow

Sam is both used to being alone and I'm creepy as hell places alone. this makes him a relatively low maintenance friend, luckily, for people like Jun. ]

Sure, thanks. Appreciate it.

[ he'll finish his fish finally before just starting quietly at the dish as he waits for Jun to finish, too. He probably should do something nice in return for Jun for doing this since he's already inconvenienced him more than once on this ship, he's just not sure what. He'll offer to take June plate once the other is finished and get up to go bring them to the sink unless Jun takes the initiative. Despite it not bring his cabin, he feels the last he can do is offer to do the dishes. ]

Did I say something wrong?

Hm? No, why?

I am known to be dense sometimes. Affectionately, a blockhead I am called.

And you are normally a very animated individual. So if you are quiet, I hope that it is because you are comfortable and not because I have unintentionally shut down what you wish to say.

[ he laughs gently. ] You didn't do anything. I'm comfortable, thanks. Besides, I said enough, I get too excited sometimes when I actually talk to people that listen. I shouldn't be talking to you about such weird things like my sex life to the point you feel a need to offer your help finding me someone. That's just... hmm ... not sure the word I'd use beyond unnecessary. Maybe rude, too.

I shouldn't be talking about my insecurities on this boat, either. Everyone is going through such a time on this boat, and I've been really lucky.

Thanks for always being willing to go out of your way for me, though.
