Even bolder than I anticipated. But I don't believe you've done anything to earn my attentions.
You're about to have a very rude wake up call, but I'm not the person you should hear it from.
[ the laughter does't bother him, actually. it's the final line--that acts as a lance piercing through the enormous gaps in nodd's mental armor. he's not good with cryptic. ]
No, go ahead. Let's say I'm fine hearing it from you.
I bet if I beat the crap out of you, not only would it be easy, but nobody on this ship would care. I bet nobody would even be that mad at me. They'd accept it as another one of my li'l fits of rage and I'd feel so much better.

Great.
[ frowns, although not at scien specifically. in general. ]
Well. None of that--I'm not ashamed of it. Or hiding it. That was all a long time ago for me.
no subject
[as far as scien is considered, history happens. no point in looking away or hiding from things.]
But I dislike the idea of people knowing things about someone without their awareness.
That's all.
no subject
So you aren't a total asshole.
[ :) ]
I appreciate the head's up. Guess I owe you one. A small one.
no subject
I have my principles. This wasn't for you.
So don't owe me anything.

Whatever you say, Mister Scientist Sir.

no subject
two saturdays in a row, nodd has said some out of pocket shit.
is it saturday three? is it time?

I can think of a few things. But I don't get the sense you'd be a lot of fun.
[ waving a hand ]
So you're probably right.

scien looks back at him and tilts his head.]
I wouldn't. For your sake more than mine.
