Rocket’s ship

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

"Fair enough." I say taking a drink. "I hear you'll be staying for the torniment tomorrow and to see the forges."

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"I don't think I'll be seeing them after all. Nobdoy will go with me"

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

I frown slightly "I'm sorry to hear that." I say taking a sip of my drink. "If you'd like you can come with me and my party.  We'll be touring the forges and foundry and the judge the tournament. "

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"You know what, why not." He sighs. I can hardly fuck up more.

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

"Excellent! I look forward to it. I'll meet you in the docking port at 10 tomorrow morning wear one of your kimonos" I smile finishing my drink

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"I'll wear this outfit and you'll like it," he growls. 

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

I laugh gently as I stand "good. Have a good night" I say heading to the door

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

What the fuck?. Whatever. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Kor returns to his drink, nursing it for the better part of an hour before he heads to his bunk. 

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

I've got him right where I want him! This little puppy will by me a bunch of credit everyone will forget the tabaxie blunder I had two years ago and I'll be the queen of rhinos 4 with rockets indorsement  and this little puppy on my arm as a gard I'll be set for the rest of my life! And all it costs is a trip to a forge and a kind grandmother's act

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

I'm so nervous I haven't spoken to kor since we had a fight. I'm standing in front of his door a small package in my hands working up the forage to nock.

"Kor? Can I have a word?"

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

Kor wrenches the door open, and it's clear he's cleaned up some -- his hair is freshly washed, the ends tidied so they're even, and it's slicked back some, while he's wearing a clean samurai outfit freshly pressed and starched. "I was just about to head out, so make it quick."

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

I blink for a moment and the sigh "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you the other day and I shouldn't have brought up your friendship with Tova it wasn't my place to speak either about your choice to have children and I upset you and I'm sorry."

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

He blinks. "Um. Thank you? I'm sorry, I really have to go, I have a-- an outing off ship today."

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"Right you're touring the forges today. Did you... I mean do you mind if I come with you?"

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"Uh. I mean, you can if you want, but I don't think you-- it's just... I'm going with Elaina, so..."
