vartex: axiality (the one word I couldn't say)

[He falls in line to walk with her, half a step behind her- at her side, but following her lead.]

Whichever you like. If I don't see the ship in full now, I'll scout it later.

[Gotta make sure the place she and Freyja are living is safe, after all, but he doesn't have to force her into handholding him through the process if she'd rather get moving. She seemed really intent on checking out the planet again.]

Hm, well, it is about lunch time, so let's just go ahead and eat. I know I'm hungry.

[Kaname leads him from the cargo bay to a door a little ways down the hall. Inside is her office, complete with desk, couch, and a couple chairs. There's a shelf lined with odds and ends: a few pictures, a glass sculpture or two, a puzzle. She tries to make it welcoming.

Sitting on her desk are two plates, each with a sandwich and a thermos of what might be tea. Space tea. With a glance back at him, she looks sort of sheepish.]

It's not much, but please make yourself at home.

[Messer ventures into the office after her, peering around to take in every detail. It's quaint and quirky, obviously far more lived-in than his current quarters- more even than his usual room back home, truth be told. His gaze lingers on the pictures, even as he sits down at the desk where she's set everything up. He doesn't recognize the people in them, but Kaname looks very comfortable around them.]

You really have been here for a long time. It's hard to imagine, considering...

[Considering just a few days ago he saw her on Al Shahal? Yeah, it's weird.]

I know what you mean. [She smiles at him as he looks over the pictures, taking in the small details of her life on board the fleet. Kaname sits on the arm of his current seat, letting her toes touch the floor.]

Freyja and I've been here for about six months now. We've been to a few systems, but nothing's familiar. Not all of it was easy going, either. [She points to a picture of the two singing in what appears to be a ship's cargo bay.] We found out that our singing can have different effects here as well. On this one, they stunned the alien species, like a paralytic. Luckily, nothing's come up since then.

[Looking at him, she shrugs a shoulder.] A lot's happened, but I'd like to tell you about it, if you're willing to listen.

[He shifts a bit in his seat, not used to her (or anyone for that matter) being so close, but he doesn't move away. Six months... it's genuinely startling to be given an actual time frame. "A long time" is nebulous, it could mean anything. Six months is significant. If it was anyone but Kaname saying it he'd assume it must be an exaggeration.

And for their singing to be affected by this place as well- to have different effects... does that mean they've been enhanced, or are they no longer able to affect the Var? He really doesn't want to think about that, especially with him being the only one of the Delta team to be brought here, nor does he want to test the issue, so he shoves it aside for now. There's more important things to deal with.]

Of course.

[She knows she can tell him anything. At least, he hopes she does.]
