Me? You're -- you're actually considering me?

Well, I'm... [He takes a pause to think about this.] ...mmmostly confused. A bit concerned.

I mean I'm not actually certain what you'd expect me to do there. Been ages since I've gone camping, and, well... I don't wanna be obvious, but they haven't exactly got airlines. Unless I got to fly one of those -- levitating submarine things...

[And just there, for a second, he's thinking that sounds sort of fun.]

Hm... "levitating" and "submarine" aren't two words you usually hear together. Sounds like a blimp. They're sort of sub-shaped, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone'd made one that can go in the water. There's enough of the bloody things floating about...

[Somewhere in adjacent headspace, a journal-less!Arthur muse is torn between finding the whole concept of Skip piloting a levitating submarine to be brilliant and worrying that GERTI is being left out.]

[finefinefinefinefine]

[OOPS PRETTY GIRL ALERT. Cue the sudden involuntary grin and temporary dip in IQ.] Yeah, a blimp -- of course -- 'course I knew that...

[Pull it together, Crieff.] Although they are sort of, um. More metal-y than an actual blimp or, or, dirigible. From what I've heard. Which is why I went with flying submarine. It just seemed more...

[He tries to think of a word that ends that sentence, but gets lost on the way.

Arthur, by the way, would likely find the Nysgod realm to be really brilliant. Except possibly for the kidnapping bit. And the part where, at least so far, there haven't been any polar bear sightings.]

[His adorable flusteredness garners an amused little smile.] ...accurate? Appropriate? Makes sense. Zeppelins are basically balloons, where you need to keep the weight down. If you don't need to worry about that, making it out of something sturdier sounds like a smart way to go.

So... airplane pilot, I'm guessing? Don't see a lot of those around here.

[There's a very real possibility that the kidnapping would be overlooked in favour of everything else's brilliance. Polar bears would be the proverbial cherry on top, though.]

[finefinefinefinefine]

A captain, actually.

[Oh yeah. Playing it cool.]

[jeopardyfriendly]

Mm... a captain. That's impressive. Got a uniform and everything? I'm sure you'd look sharp in one.
