Posted by Lieutenant Commander Gravel Mardusk (Chief of Security) in It All Come Out In The Wash… Except Blood Stains
snipMardusk cocked his head at her for a moment… and then he got that look in his eye. The one that said he knew something she didn’t. “Take that thought… and throw it in the recycler. The most that bastard would’ve done is hurt me worse. But he wasn’t gonna kill me. Like I told him while we were goin’ at it… I cheat.” and he chuckled and polished off the rest of his burger in a single bite. “I don’t think he ever really grasped that. Maybe it didn’t come through the Universal Translator right.” he said around the mouthful of burger with a grin.

Cara eyed him and set a hand over his, “I never said he was gonna kill ya. That thought never occured ta me. I said you not walkin’ out on yer own two feet. You coulda been hurt a lot worse, a lot of other people coulda died. And yeah the idea of you really hurt doesna sit well with me.” Yeah Gravel was a tank and he joked about it, but there was a level of deadly seriousness about it too. It was the way his mind worked and at such speed in those situations that made him dangerous. It also made those he cared for extremely safe. “I know, chuck it because it didn’t happen.” She sat back and began eat.
O’Farrell
“Exactly. Can’t waste time on ‘what if’s.” he said and picked up another burger. He grinned at her and said “And you like me. You were worried about me. Awww… how cute.” and he winked at her as he took a bite.
Mardusk
The tip of her tongue made a short appearance. “Yep sure do and sure did. I’m Irish. We’re passionate about every emotion. Deal with it.” She smirked at him. She picked up a farl and dipped it in the soup and ate.
O’Farrell
“If only that passion ran towards knowing where one was going and how to get there.” he said with a grin. “Then maybe I could actually have my patrols looking for miscreants and not wayward Counselors.”
Mardusk
“I am quite capable of callin’ for help if I need it. I have’na ended up anywhere I shouldna in two months.” She took a pull off her drink with a smirk. “And without ya around for 2 weeks, ta order them ta look for me, we’ll be findin’ out if I can.”
