oh my goodness, yes

[onsilksheets]

A spaceship.

[ Look how helpful Bela is. But she's eying those swords of his carefully, hoping that he didn't plan on using them anytime soon.]

why hello

[asis]

[ very helpful. in the same way someone pointing out that he was stuck on an island before would be helpful - except that was actually believable. this? not so much.

he's going to use the swords if he deems it necessary. ]

You're kidding me.

hi~

[onsilksheets]

Afraid not, honey.

[Is this the type of face that would lie to you? Well, yes. It is.

But Bela is being helpful, if a little blunt. Just please don't use those swords on her.]

[asis]

[ his grip on the sword doesn't tighten in any way, that would be too obvious. he isn't trying to threaten her (yet) and he's got too good a grip on his emotions for that kind of tell. ]

You've got proof?

[onsilksheets]

If you want proof, you're going to have to come with me.

[Perhaps it's a good thing that she has her handgun on her but it's tucked away and out of sight. Not difficult to take out quickly if necessary.]

[asis]

Go where? [ he isn't just going to follow her into some dark corridor. ]

[onsilksheets]

To the shuttlebay. [ which is completely understandable of course.]

[asis]

[ ... if by completely understandable you mean making him want to ask if you're out of your mind then yes. ]

After you.

[onsilksheets]

[ if she wanted to hurt him, she would have done it already..or got someone else to do it.]

This way.

[A gesture to her left.]

[asis]

[ she could have tried, at any rate. he doesn't move just yet, instead just watching her. he's not going to leave his back unprotected. ]

[onsilksheets]

Are you coming or not? [ she gets it, he's being cautious. Bela was the same when she first arrived.] I'm not going to hold your hand.

[asis]

I wouldn't want you to, lady. [ it's not entirely unfriendly, but mostly. he is following, though, grip on his swords deceptively relaxed. ]

[onsilksheets]

Glad we can agree on something. [ she leads them slowly, occasionally glancing at him, just in case.] Nice swords by the way.

[asis]

Thanks. [ it's dry, not aggressive anymore. he loves those swords, they're his favourites. ]

[onsilksheets]

[ dry is a step-up from aggression.]

You a mercenary for hire?

[asis]

Australian Secret Intelligence Service. [ not a mercenary. ] Are you?

[onsilksheets]

I dabble. [ Like an Aussie Bond, right?] People hire me to do stuff and I do it. Acquiring rare items and the like.

[asis]

[ pretty much like an aussie bond only with more bdus and swords and less tuxedos and old cars. ] Kill many people to get those items?

[ idle conversation, is all. ]

[onsilksheets]

Only if it's necessary. [ idle conversation about killing people, yep.

she makes a right, they're almost there.] Does your job pay well?

[asis]

Worth it? [ the most idle of conversations. or perhaps it would be if he were any less on edge. ]

Well enough.

[onsilksheets]

It is. [ even if she can't make much of a living on board the ship.]

Do you enjoy the work?

[asis]

[ does he enjoy the work? sometimes. some days are worse than others, and sometimes you get stuck on an island for weeks and it's not enjoyable at all. before billy's betrayal, he used to think it didn't matter at all whether he enjoyed it or not because he was doing a good thing. he's not so sure anymore whether anyone is really in it just for doing good. billy's taught him otherwise. ]

It's varied. [ that, he likes. it doesn't get boring. ]

[onsilksheets]

Nice to have a bit of variety I've found. It's why I chose my career path.

[ not the only reason but she is keeping that piece of information to herself because it's personal and she doesn't know him.

and now they're at the shuttlebay with a bunch of shuttles that don't work and a few that do. they look quite high tech.]

[asis]

Nice movie set. [ no, he isn't going to believe her just yet. people in her line of work are rarely trustworthy. ]

[onsilksheets]

Not a set. [ he's right, she isn't trustworthy. but bela is being honest with this one. surprisingly enough.

she sighs.] You're not going to believe me, are you?
