So.

What do you guys do when you're really mad at someone?

Productive and unproductive tactics welcome. I also enjoy colorful stories.

[ Private to Felix Gaeta, later ]

[ Okay, it's time to confront this. She's calm. She's good. She's going to say something elegant, and Felix is going to respect her, and they will be friends.

Here goes! ]

You're stupid.

[ wow not as planned ]

The ones who got mutinied against?

And we didn't mutiny for no reason, be sure of that.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

I am...completely out of my depth on how to feel about this egregious violation of human rights. Human? People-rights.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

Yeah, humans.

I think human rights stopped being so important to them, at some point.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

Please don't take this offensively.

But I don't ever want to go to your universe.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

It's okay.

I'm not ever going back.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

Stay here where it's safe. I'll even let you punch people without complaining about it.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

Really. Really you wouldn't complain about it.

[ she d o u b t s it ]

I would try to keep my disapproving looks to a bare minimum.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

Well, I bet your disapproving looks don't have anything on my mom's. So that's fine. I have an immunity.

...and if I burst into tears sometimes, ignore it, I'm just lubricating my eyelids. It's allergies. Something.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

Why would you cry? Why would I try to MAKE you cry? I don't want to make anyone cry!

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

It's just no one's given me Significant And Disapproving Looks for a while.

And I miss my mom.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

I was only sort of joking about the disapproving look.

Please don't cry.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

Eyelids need lubricating.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

This is why eyedrops were invented.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

Waste of good natural equipment.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

I don't know what I'd do if you stared crying.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

You'd make a pie. Undoing all that careful anti-tantrum work my mom did.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

I would. I'd give in.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

If you have kids, you are going to get trained out of that habit.

Pies don't work on babies.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

Kids were never a foregone conclusion for me before the Barge.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

Which is why I say if. There are a lot of factors and things, even besides whether or not you want them.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

I wouldn't have made for a good father.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

See, that's a pretty stupid thing to think. If you love a kid, they'll forgive you a whole frakking lot.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[deadly_ned]

I wouldn't have been a good father because I don't know what makes a good father.

[reluctantly private to Iris/Mal/Ned]

[landfall]

Nobody does until they have to do it, I'm pretty sure.
