“When all else fails, just remember we do have a self-destruct program.” Royal said and laughed. “Although I am usually a fan of riding the crazy as far as it goes. You find yourself in some neat situations with some neat people sometimes.” and he laughed again.

She laughed some more. “I do try to avoid blowing things up whenever possible.” She held back that tiny surge of emotion. After all, it wasn’t her that had exploded things. “But I will tell you that there is something incredible about seeing Captain Taylor preside over the Promenade of Starbase 157 yelling ‘off with their heads’!”

Dira leaned in. “When we boarded this ship for the first time I actually had someone place a crown on the captain’s chair and that’s what she saw first when we got to the bridge.” She burst out laughing. “Oh the look she gave me.”

Royal laughed loudly. “Oh my god that is amazing!” and he laughed some more. When he finished, he was still smiling and said “Just so you know… you are now the one doing the dirty looks when I leave the crown.” and he grinned at her and winked.

Royal

She lifted her spoon. “Oh, I know. Just so long as you know your audience and are prepared for retaliation, most of the time it’s harmless. It when people go too far or misjudge what a person is okay with that we get into trouble. In this case, Willow and I were friends by that point and she could take a bit of teasing.”

She scooped that last of her soup and pushed the bowl to the side, looking over the lounge and taking in everyone. One of the crew caught her eye and she gave them a small smile and a nod.

“I will endeavor to make sure such engagements are both tasteful and respectful.” Royal said with a grin. “And funny, of course. And I know what you are saying. Rugby players can be downright vicious when it comes to jokes. Had to knock a few heads together on more than one occasion. But we are a creative lot, too. I remember when we got a new manager. We were traveling from Edinburgh to Berlin for a match. He was making all kinds of a fuss about how he had to be seated next to the window. So we put him in his seat and glued a pic of one of our Prop’s… um… ‘hairy aft section’… to the outside of said window. before we left.” and he grinned. “And locked out the shade.” and he winked.

Royal

She shook her head, despite her grin. “Remind me not to get on your bad side,” Dira said as she pulled her salad over to finish it off.

He chuckled. “Not like I can walk outside a glue a picture of my butt to the main screen, so I think you are okay in that arena.”

“Still, not going to go out of my way to give you ideas,” she said.

“Speaking off. Pet peeves or quirks. Any I should know about? Like, don’t talk to you before you’ve had your morning coffee, or anything like that.”

~Dira

Royal thought for a moment. “Well… none that I can think of. And I’m more of a tea guy.” he said with a slight smile. “Only thing I think really irritates me is willful stupidity. I mean, if a person can’t accept evidence- especially when it is laid out in front of them- I have zero use for those individuals. And my patience gets very short in that regard. Otherwise, I’m kinda perfect.” and he laughed self-deprecatingly.

Royal

Myqian snorted. “Uh huh. Okay.” Her dark eyes glinted. “In my case, I can’t stand being intentionally given partial information when there is more to be had. It’s one thing in a session with a patient, but it’s quite another when we’re talking about the operation of the ship or the safety of the crew.”
