029 - Oregon Marionberry

Show of hands;

Are there any new inmates bored and interested in taking a bit of a side vacation? It's just for a day. Half a day.

Food will be served.

[Private to River]

How's...everything? Your first week, I mean. How are you doing?

[Private to Alpha]

If you're not busy, I need your help for a project.

[Private to Ben]

Do you mind if I borrow Abigail for a day?

He's okay. Had his little adventure too. All the good stuff.

All in all, a quiet port.

That sounds nice.

Come back with anything?

A really tatty coat, apparently. None of my magic whatsits, but hat's probably for the best. Arthas apparently didn't like the trial he got on one of them.

What happened to Arthas?

He got himself into a bit of trouble with the local authorities.

That sounds like him.

Is he all right?

Far as I know. I don't really keep tabs on asshole who probably want to kill me. I mean, as far as I know.

He won't kill you. Arthas and me are friends.

Plus he's. Probably still feeling guilty over killing me.

I think.

[ So much frowning. ]

Yeah. Guilty.

In his own stoic way, I'm sure.

[ The silent stare of I ain't buying it, no sir. ]

...Well, it's very subtle.

He'd pick his teeth with your tibia if he felt like it, Ned.

No. No, he wouldn't. We're friends, him and I. We.

Arthas doesn't have friends. HE has sexual tension with Riddick and awkwardness with everyone else that he isn't immediately thinking about killing.

Well, he. He still has a way to go, yes. But I'm still his friend. Even if he doesn't...feel the same way.

Ahuh. Friendship is a two way street, Ned. Don't be dumb.

I'm not being dumb. I'm being a little more generous than he is until he gets the idea of it.

If you say so. I ain't buying it.

You don't need to buy it. No one is selling it to you. You are not the niche market.

Thank God for being out of the demo, huh?

Exactly.

Score one for me, then.
