Nowhere else on the ship has a usual guarantee that nobody's going to fucking bother me while I'm reading.
[ Rolls her eyes and scrunches her face up at the words. The book advertised something about Zen Buddhism but this dude won't shut up about his fucking motorbike. She's reading it out of spite at this point. ]
It was quiet until you showed up and started talking at me with your- [ Scoffs, throws her head back, bad impression of his accent, ] I'm not an elf, how daaaare you bring me something that I'm very clearly enjoying.
[ Another eyeroll. ]
If you know everything, what am I not saying to you then, ehn?
Remember the last time you wrongly assumed you could outlast me. [because he does.] It ought to be fine, this time. As long as you don't throw another little snit.
And yet, how many times have I purposefully attracted your attention out of some clearly pressing need to discuss something, only to then pretend that isn't what I was doing out of some pathological need to be contrary.
[shakes head] Sounds like too much work. I'd much rather kill somebody.
I was genuinely expecting that you were just going to take the fucking tea and keep hiding in the bridge. You know, like the other times I've brought shit. Why- do you want to talk to me? You honestly having a good time right now?
[ And the letter, which apparently he felt the need to pass on. But she can't exactly bitch about that without inviting being dunked on. Or mentioning Skulduggery. Which is, without exaggeration, the last thing she wants to be doing right now. ]
Okay, well, I really did just want you to take the fucking thing and leave me alone this time. So.
To give her full credit, it's at least 50 minutes before she starts entertaining the idea that actually he might have been right and she just argued with him out of reflex. The Captain could say the sky is blue and she'd still probably sink too much time into arguing that it isn't. God she hates when he's right about her. ]
This is unrelated to why I came up here, but Skulduggery told me about that whole situation. With you. That's all I have to say about it, I just thought you should know that I know.
[ Apparently even his boyfriend doesn't get immunity from the Captain's incessant need for superiority. Christ, she cannot fathom what Skully sees in him. ]
Okay, Izzy also told me. That's not really important.
[ Nope. He might be very good at setting down rakes in front of her for her to step on but this time, just once, she's not taking the bait. Nope. Not even engaging, just looking directly at her book. She's not getting Lucius'd again. ]
It would all depend on what factors you're taking into consideration when making the judgement, of course. Perhaps the natural distaste of having to recognize a paternal figure as, well... capable of intimacy, is enough to cancel out all my more positive features...

It's quiet and nice up here, that's all.

That's what she said.]Oh and you're the dictionary definition of maturity. Right. Forgot about that.

You do realize that's the exact opposite of how the now multiple occasions you've done this have gone, right.

"That whole situation."
Funny. I had assumed Captain Hands would have spilled long before he actually got up the courage to tell you.
