Rocket’s ship

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"Or what? You'll space me?" he snarls. "I don't have any good options here! What am I supposed to do? Give up everything I've ever known, for what, a bunch of strangers?! What am I supposed to do! What was I ever supposed to do!? I tried to be good, I tried to obey, I tried to be kind and obedient and quiet, I tried to keep my powers under wraps, all I wanted to do was study the blade, but then-- but then! And then everything was gone and I don't know what to do!" Tears are flowing freely now, as he shouts, and Reaper gets the idea he doesn't shout often from the way he half-whispers some of his words, like he's ashamed of being loud, of taking up space. 

[Reaper]

I pull kor into a hug. "Hey no ones gonna space you. All the ships that were planning to crew up at brayla are in the area still if you want off we can meet up with them and you can go. You have a choice here kor. And you know what? We won't be strangers for long if you let us in. I know this is a lot. Your entire world views just blown up but you're not alone. We've all had this moment." I pull back and look him dead in the eyes. "You don't have to hid anymore kor and you don't have to run either. There's a fresh start for all of us on the other side you just have to make the choice to stay."

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

He wipes at his tears, looking stubborn and determined. "Of course I do. Nobody would want me how I am."

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"I want you" I say grinning from the door.  It's been nearly an hour since I gave the command to have a meeting and I've gone looking for my security team on,y to find reaper with his arms wrapped around kor. I know he's missed having kids around. I wish I could give him another son, he morns ours every day...

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

Kor pulls out of the hug in surprise. "You don't know me."

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"But I want know you. And even if you never give me the chance to know you I still want you. I want you to be safe and happy. I know what it's like to not be wanted kor.... I can't undo what was done to me. I can't take this mech off. I will live with it until I die. And because of this people fear me. But here on this ship we are all like this. We're all the outcasts and here we have a home. And if you stay you'll have one too."

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"I-- I'm a girl," he says quietly, then flinches, expecting to be hit. 

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"Ok. So what?"

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"So-- so I'm not pretty or meek or passive. I play with swords. I'm not-- I was born a girl."

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"I captain a space ship, I lead an army, kor, I am a women and I'm the farthest thing from passive. Girlhood isn't about what you do it's what you feel. If you feel like a girl the fine you're a girl, but you're still you. Be who you are." I say with a shrug

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"I don't-- I don;t feel like anything, I just want to learn swordplay and fight and--" 

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"Then you're in the right place. We've got plenty of fighters here and reaper is a master with a blade." I can't help grinning "you don't have to be anything other than yourself."

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"I don't have a, a 'self'. I just-- I just don't want to be hurt anymore." Tears flow freely again, and she (he?) wipes at them angrily. "Why can't I just live?!"

[Reaper]

"We all want that kor. And here that's what we have. We all chip in but no one really works here we all just chip in what we can really." I say looking to rocket

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"What he means is when we're not working we're all together living our own lives without expectations"
