First off, there's nothing wrong with getting a little attached to somethin' you've spent a lot of time with, so don't think you can make me feel bad with this journal name.

Secondly... you sure you're up to this? You've said it yourself, you aren't even sure if you like me.

Thirdly- wait. Wait. Why wouldn't you like me?

[Isabel is going to raise an eyebrow while she examines his journal name. Well, she was going to but she just has to say something now.]

Do you really name the weapons that you use in battle?

[nameshisweapons]

Aw, come on. Everyone's got their quirks, right?

Besides, something as special as Torchy, she needs a name. Something to set her apart. Just calling her "a blaster" is just... just...- well, it ain't right.

[isabelneville]

I suppose you are right, yes. Though this is not one I have heard of before. It must be a very special weapon if you are referring to her as 'she' as well as giving her a name.

[Isabel comes from a time when women aren't exactly thought of as useful in any way so it surprises her.]

[nameshisweapons]

Well, all the good ones have enough personality they let you know what to call 'em. Torchy's got a hair trigger and a hell of a kick, and can be a little temperamental if you don't handle her right-

Uh. Not that I'm saying women are by nature temperamental or anything. I mean, I'd never imply that- [and now he's awkwardly trailing off because this is usually when the Captain would normally verbally smack some sense into him, and Risha laughs at him]

[isabelneville]

I've never heard of such a weapon before in my life...they do not have them where I'm from.

[Isabel smiles a little at that. Hey, she would be the first to admit that she's got a bit of a temper herself and she knows plenty others who are exactly the same.] We can be. But then so can men.

You're a soldier, I take it, but what does that mean for you? To whom does a soldier owe his allegience: is it government or conscience?
