When: Day 6, afternoon
Where: The Ruined Hull
What: General exploration post!

[ The Ruined Hull has been unlocked! The go-team has been in the area for a while, the stay-team members who are so inclined have probably meandered over here somehow by now -- time to go exploring, but keep an eye on those suit power levels ♥ ]

[God, if he could roll his eyes. He sighs and gestures to the ship.]

If I recognise anything in there I'll explain it, but that depends on it not being alien to me too.

[adamance]

We can only hope that you won't give up on it too quickly. I'm not the only one who would benefit from that knowledge. [Though Lexa fully expects that once his dizziness passes, he'll want to get the hell away from her.

She's very aware that she's annoying him.]

[exorion]

[Wow, is that the impression she's got? lackadaisical and useless, he'll let her think that — in fact he'll encourage it — but a quitter? Unacceptable.]

Don't you worry about that. [wink] I got a great many unflattering qualities, but being a quitter isn't one of 'em.

[adamance]

Ah, and you feel strongly enough about it to ensure that you correct me on the matter. [Which, in Lexa's book, is generally a good thing. It speaks to someone's character.

And of course, she had to frame it as if she was aiming for the correction.]

[exorion]

Strongly enough to reassure you I'm not gonna leave anyone in the lurch.

[He says it with a shrug, totally nonchalant. He doesn't know if Lexa's testing him or something here, but he's not about the let her know he cares or anything.]

[adamance]

[Sorry, Cayde. Everything about Lexa is like a test.]

That sounds like a broader statement than simply a matter of not being a quitter. You seem like you don't want to commit to any identity. [That doesn't mean she's wrong about him potentially being a useless individual to call upon (especially since he's willing to jump into a bug's mouth), but it does mean that he might be along the lines of the reckless and more self-sacrificing sorts.

She isn't among those types, but she can see the value in them.]
