>‘I could house them somewhere more suitable to their needs, if you’d like.’ (SCION)
‘I could arrange for more adequate housing if you’d prefer.’
Your offer is sincere.
Morrigan, however, <span class="mu-r">appears to decline with a slow shake of her head.</span> She does offer you a small half-smile of amusement, however, crossing her arms and raising her head to meet your gaze. ‘Delta would probably take that offer in a heartbeat, but I’m afraid that I’m going to have to decline that offer. I’m not very fond of being in someone’s debt … and regardless of <span class="mu-i">your</span> standing, the last thing that I’d like in my logs tomorrow is a <span class="mu-i">barricade</span> of transfer forms and declaration notices to fill out as … <span class="mu-i">implicated.</span>’
Her words end on a cryptic note, her rejection is highlighted by a quick tilt and a shrug, a non-verbal indicator that <span class="mu-g">it was a topic that she wasn’t, at least at present, keen on pursuing under current circumstances.</span> You have to check yourself for a moment, but end up giving a series of quick head-bobbles, a silent bout of communication struck as you both come to an agreement to, at least, discuss it later. The thought of Delta and Iona being in cramped temporary arrangements do, however, continue to bother you regardless … especially when you were in a position to directly correct such a gross error.
‘You know, I wouldn’t mind a moon or two,’ Ryosuke suggests jokingly, grinning as he leans into you.
‘Ryosuke,’ you sigh, ‘if I <span class="mu-i">ever</span> gave you a <span class="mu-i">habitat</span>, I’d probably come back to find it littered with <span class="mu-i">grade-K hazards</span> border to border by the end of the month.’
Ryosuke actually looks thoughtful for a moment … before shrugging. ‘Only if you didn’t set the ground rules.’
You roll your eyes … before ribbing him in the elbows, smirking slightly. Ryosuke takes it in good humour, giving you a bump on the shoulder in return. ‘It’s good to see the both of you,’ you repeat, relief escaping you once again as you affirm for the second time that the fates, had, indeed, allowed you to cross paths with the both of them on this plane of existence and this state of being. ‘Really.’
‘Yeah,’ Ryosuke concurs, albeit reluctantly. ‘A lot of the others <span class="mu-r">weren’t so lucky.</span>’
You feel <span class="mu-i">something</span> drop into pit of your stomach.
‘<span class="mu-b">Many of the EVAC protocols on the second and fourth cities failed to launch in time … most of the settlements got the warning too late. They didn’t have more than eighteen hours to get everyone off-world. Even for Rhysode’s population, that …</span>’
You nod grimly, understa—
A thought hits you.
