[Private to the Mistress crew:

Alex writes it first and then continues on with her message. It's just for her crew, just in case anyone else is awake at this hour. If not, they'll see it in the morning.]

So, if we're going to this Navy thing? I'll stay with the ship.

Probably a bad idea for me to be around that many people after dark. Just in case.

[If anyone's actually up, well.

The dhampir is in the fighting top of the foremast.]

[Not private:]

I think I'm getting used to this place. Jury's still out on whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Definitely learned a few things from that Navy captain and all.

It's strange. The rules aren't the same here as the world I know, and sometimes I worry about that. That I'm going to forget how I'm supposed to act back home and do a lot of damage when I get back.

I don't have to like it though.

[He says it like he's being forced to make that choice: either enjoy murdering people and keep your friends safe, or don't and.... well, don't.]

No, you definitely don't.

[A pause and a sigh.]

Probably a really, really good thing, actually, that you don't.

I'm worried I might start to.

[Honey has a second to think about how that sounds to his ears and quickly adds on:]

Not now or anything! But...someday.

...I know what you mean.

[She's starting to enjoy the taste of blood. Starting to forget why she needs to be so careful.]

Just... stick with your friends. They'll remind you.

[While it makes Honey nervous to actually be talking about this with someone - let alone a stranger - it makes him feel better to have someone say that they understood. Whether or not it was the truth was inconsequential to him.[

You too.

[It occurs to him then that he hasn't even bothered to ask about her friends. Or if they're even there. It might be a new found comradery but there was no such thing as a new friend to Honey.]

...Are your friends here?

Not the ones I knew at home...

But I'm making new ones.

[She smiles a little as she says it, and it comes through in her voice.]

I've... met some pretty cool people here.

[He's sort of thankful for the subject change. Even if it is attached to what they were talking about.]

Oh? Like who?

Most of the people of my crew are pretty cool. I've got a good captain and three really good fighters. They've been looking out of me since I joined up with them.
