[Mordecai's unhappy growl sounds a little more pissed off than usual. However, he keeps his voice even as he speaks his request.]

I need a medic. Deck 11, Room 2458.

what a talented pair we are!

[He raises his eyebrows at that. Once upon a time, he might of called bullshit and probably mocked her claims. Now? Mordecai has seen and done enough crazy stuff in the past twelve or so years to know better.]

So two guys had to be saved by a girl. I bet that went down well.

its a mark of brilliance

Not the first time I've ever had to save Sam's ass.

[She shakes her head. Memories of Sam were good ones, even if they were full of robots trying to murder them.]

|D

[He's watching her with a new found curiosity now that Mikaela's talking about a guy. And one that she's saved countless times. Still, he won't jump to conclusions.

But he will tease.]

'Sam' huh? What's he, your partner?

:3

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[She gets a faraway look in her eyes for a moment before refocusing on him.]

Kinda. He was my boyfriend back home. We sorta discovered an alien race together and...went through everything I was telling you about together. He's shown up here twice.

[And each time he'd disappeared had torn a hole in her.]

[bastardbytrade.livejournal.com]

[Mordecai's got a feeling he's hit a touchy topic. Best he tread carefully and at least make some effort not to be a dick.]

Twice? And then what, died? Or was he one of the people who just vanished overnight?

[...Clearly, Mordecai fails at not being a dick.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[...He gets a bit of a dirty look/]

He was one of the ones that vanished in the middle of the night. Seems like a lot of people I get close to do that.

[Oh Mordecai. Thank you for being you.]

[bastardbytrade.livejournal.com]

[The look she gives him is enough to tell him he's teetering on the edge of the line, assuming he hasn't already stepped right over it.

Mordecai nods. He won't say he's sorry. He's simply not a sentimental guy like that, but his expression hints that he understands.]

Sounds like a dick for leaving you behind like that.

[Comfort isn't exactly something he's good at. But he's trying.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[She's kind of glad he doesn't apologize, because him doing that would mean she had to admit it bothered her. Because it totally didn't at all.]

Well, I'm not really sure what choice he had. I don't think that the captain really takes into consideration what we want. He just...vanished.

[bastardbytrade.livejournal.com]

[Denial is fast becoming one of his specialties.]

Hm.

[His brow creases a little in thought. If the one person on his team vanished overnight without a trace, it would bother him more than he'd like to admit.

He refocuses on Mikaela. Mordecai's only met her properly this day, but she's been good conversation. If she left he'd be a little bored.

Just a little.]

Captain does as Captain wants. It's bullshit, but the game isn't in our favor right now.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

It's frustrating to have people you like just poof like that.

[She nods, rolling her shoulders a little.]

Is it ever really in our favor? I'm not so sure if it is.

[bastardbytrade.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess.

[He's never really let himself get attached to people. Mordecai's not sentimental like that. The few that he does get attached to, he does an amazing job at ignoring.

Or so he thinks.]

I'd be hesitant to get close to anyone in this place. [Mordecai smiles.]

You sure you wanna keep talkin' to me?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

I kind of am.

[She grins at him.]

Eeeeh, I'm pretty sure, I guess.

[bastardbytrade.livejournal.com]

[Whatever he's about to say next is interrupted by a distinct raise in Lilith's tone. Mordecai casts the door a grim look.]

Sounds like they're about done. I'd advise avoiding Lilith for a bit. Knowing her, she'll be looking for someone to take out her bad mood on.

[Just imagine the reaction from Lilith if she opened the door and Mordecai was gone.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[She nods and gives him a grin.]

Will do. Sounds like she's gettin' irritated. May wanna go and mediate or something.

[bastardbytrade.livejournal.com]

[He snickers at that.]

If only it were that easy.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

[She pats his arm, giving him a grin.]

Well, good luck with that. I'm headin' out, gonna try and snag something to eat then maybe hit the pool.
