A new Admiral? I, for one, approve of the change. [He says this but his heart just doesn't sound like it's in it.] I wait with baited breath to see where it is we shall land.

[Private to Merlin]

It seemed prudent to ascertain whether you were still on the ship.

(ooc: So after the snow globe incident, Reaver has been holed up in his room, predominantly. He hasn't attended shifts in the kitchen, he hasn't talked to anyone, he hasn't even looked at the network.)

Hardly the point.

No. The point is that you say you hate the fact you returned to Oakvale, but you stayed far longer than you needed to. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm choosing to believe that means that what we did is important to you.

Fine. [Flippantly] I stayed to burn the village to the ground.

[A beat.]

No, you didn't.

Yes, I did.

So give me the snowglobe and let me see it for myself.

That won't be necessary.

Of course not.

What am I to do now, then?

If you could go home tomorrow, what would you do?

I don't have my alternative yet, do I?

[A sigh]

I do not know. Assuming that the Queen is successful in her endeavors, I will have a home outside of Bloodstone to return to.

And in the long term?

Say that coming here broke your bond to the Shadow Court. No more need for sacrifices. What would you do with the rest of your life?

Aside from live it?

[He supposes he should give him something genuine or he'll never let it go.]

I'm going to find my sister.

...

You know she might be beyond your reach now, Reaver.

That's never stopped me before.

You would make another deal with the Shadow Court in exchange for her life?

Why does every endeavor have to involve them?

It doesn't.

Would you?

I don't know.

[And he's not going to add any more to this, because he figures the question of why Reaver hasn't graduated yet has been pretty eloquently answered here and he can reach that conclusion himself.]

...Are we going in to port?

I was going to. Do you want to?

And the alternative would be what? [A scoff] If swimsuits are involved, then so too must be sunshine, scantily clad wait services, and excessive decadence.

I, for one, have earned a holiday, I should think. I don't know about you, but I am going to let my hair down, perhaps find some saucy, well-fed young maiden to nibble upon, and drink and/or copulate myself into a coma.

You're welcome to tag along.

You're only saying that because you know I'm gong to say no.

So pessimistic. It hasn't occurred to you that I might invite you because I want you to say 'yes'?

Private
