"Just because it's furry and cute, doesn't mean it isn't dangerous."

“just because it’s dangerous doesn’t mean we shouldn’t approach it,” qian responded, knowing full well how flawed her reasoning was. but she’ll claim her cerean blood to defend her logic--her cognitive processes were too complex for the human girl (she lacked an id bracelet, and although the pirate knew there were plenty of aliens with id-less wrists, it was still a good bet) to fathom. “it’ll be fine. probably. i bet you that they’re just shy! we can make friends with them. but just in case, you might want to have your weapon accessible. not drawn though, we don’t want to startle them.”

Clio is not sure how to deal with a Captain of the Imperial Navy, specially one that seems to just want to get drunk. Sure, she’s travelled the universe and met several servers of the Empire and, for the most part, she’s not too fond of them. She may not be part of the rumoured Rebel Alliance, but she sure as hell does not like the Empire, and that’s not about to change.

She raises her eyebrows at the other, lips pursing slightly, but that only lasts for a second before her features turn into a playful smirk. “I didn’t know captains were allowed to drink. Or are you by any chance defying the Empire?” She might get in trouble for even just playfully alluding at some kind of rebellion, but what’s life without a bit of risk?

“no.” the thought itself is blasphemous, and jinan shuts it down quickly before either of them have any chance to entertain it. it’s what he’s always been taught to do; the empire is absolute, and supreme, and to fight against the order of the universe was to fight against life itself. the rebels were nothing but anarchist scum -- brats who thought they deserved better.

“i’m not exactly fond of the outer rim.” he tries to explain, though doesn’t elaborate further. this whole drinking thing is becoming a problem, and he can see why the last guy had been so quick in disappearing of the naval radar ( desertion, it’s called, but jinan calls it lack of will ). “are navigators supposed to ask so many questions?”

"I don't know what you think this ship is capable of, but it can't perform miracles."

surely, he’d gotten the right ship. the allura was flagged, he knew, but according to the logs he’d just been shown, this clearly wasn’t the case, because allura had been on the other side of the outer rim at the exact time they’d been flagged down by the patrol units at raxus. 

he narrowed his eyes at the display nestled in his arm, scrolling through it again just to make sure, and looked up at the navigator.

“you would be right. ships can’t be in two places at the same time, especially if the locations are that far away...” he concluded, before sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose. “and you are the only personnel i can speak to? i beg your pardon, ma’am, but i would much rather speak to the captain than his navigator.”
