New muse... The newest.

[thatsmygirl]

Really? You're thinkin' of keepin' me around? Gee that's... That's kinda-really neat.

[Really, it's no trouble at all. She's just beaming away. First time for everything, right?]

Comments

[fantastically]

Ahhh! A captain.

You make a habit of lying to your crew, then?

[useofaswhat]

I make a habit of watchin' out for 'em.

[fantastically]

[He pulls back and folds his arms over his chest.]

Fair enough. But don't say I didn't warn you when she gets stuck somewhere with no way home.

[useofaswhat]

Right. The day that happens, you come back to say I told you so.

[fantastically]

[His arms drop and he flashes and amazingly arrogant smile.]

Oh you can count on it.

[useofaswhat]

You do that and we'll be about even on the black eye.

[fantastically]

Is that a threat?

[He actually seems tickled by the idea.]

[useofaswhat]

Call it a promise.

[fantastically]

You might want to rethink that, Captain.

Just a suggestion.

[useofaswhat]

And you might wanna think about turnin' around and walking out of here.

[fantastically]

Seems I've struck a nerve. [And he's not in the least concerned.]

[useofaswhat]

Seems you ain't got much in the way of manners either. You make a habit of tryin' to scare everyone you run across?

[fantastically]

[He just shrugs] All I said is that she may come to regret her enthusiasm.

If I was really trying to scare her off, I could have gone into much greater detail. I've got some first hand experience on the subject matter.

[useofaswhat]

I'm willin' to bet she's a lot readier'n you think she is.

[fantastically]

Seems to me you're more caught up on your own selfish hopes that she'll be around for your sake.

Lonely, Captain?

[LIKE HE HAS ROOM TO TALK]

[thatsmygirl]

I think the cap'n can say what he likes about it, considerin' he's about right as rain. I think I can take care'f myself just fine, no matter if I get sent somewheres or no.

But thank's for the warnin'. It's appreciated.

[fantastically]

Well, since the two of you have it all sorted... [He flashes another smile.]

Best of luck.

[thatsmygirl]

[A flash of smile she returns whole-heartedly.]

Hey, that doesn't mean I'm sendin' you off. You seem to know more about this place than I've got figured out.

I didn't even get you're name.

[fantastically]

[Well, she's certainly nicer than her bossy friend.]

I didn't get yours either.

[thatsmygirl]

[She is m u c h nicer than her dear old, grumpy Captain.]

That you didn't. Kaylee Frye, pleased t'be making your acquaintance. [Hand out? Shake shake?]

[fantastically]

Pleasure's mine, Kaylee. [shakey shakey] I'm the Doctor.

[thatsmygirl]

[Excellent shaking, mister. Even if she's got a bit of a grease-palm.]

You're a doctor, too? You guys are just all kinds've useful. And all mighty pretty, from the looks of it!
