i love him ToT

well this was a mistake. his sulky look earns a disapproving frown from the commander, who still cannot determine if his monosyllabic answers and general disposition come from malice or from being a dumbass. either way he sets blix on edge -- she's not a great conversationalist herself to begin with, and having to drag answers out of him makes her tetchy.

still. "okay," she says, slowly, "what have you been doing?" there. nice, clear, direct, hopefully will get an answer that is more than just a yes or no. she wonders if she should maybe invent something specific for him to do while she's add it.

she doesn't get the chance -- his answer is vague and annoyance ripples through her. she doesn't have the energy to deal with him and his.. eccentricities. excusing herself, blixen retreats.
