[ Someone is over at Stasis Bay, wondering over whether she should go take a peek into the Brig. She doesn't think she's done anything wrong, but she's still curious and her guard is definitely down. In fact, she's so focused on those thoughts that she doesn't notice anything else. ]
[This is very funny, because Dahut is definitely not a quiet person by any definition. He just trots his way on over, moving to stand nearby and try to look in the direction she's peering in...]
This is so funny though HELP. It's okay, Dahut will let the cycle of endless apology finally come to an end. He glances over toward the brig, brow furrowing a little.]
I believe Monsieur Blade was there for eight hours the other day, so you could interrogate him? But I'm sure that the senior crew members would let you have a peek if you asked!
Oh, oopsie... [NOT THIS REACTION HELP he laughs and holds a hand up, waving it very lightly.] Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean an actual interrogation! I just meant asking him! Ah, though to be honest, he doesn't really seem like the kind of person who likes being asked questions, does he? I'd do it, but I think he could probably squish me in two seconds.
There's a little bit of warmth in his smile at that, though! Most of his smiles are warm enough that his eyes crinkle a little, and there's a bit of amusement in his eyes.]
I see, I see! You've been able to chat with him then, I take it? I still haven't gotten to yet, so maybe I should!
[Ma'am this is such a bar on the floor level of measuring the goodness of someone's company....... He's not judging but there is something in his emotional spread that's a little like, very very gently and vaguely concerned...
But also fucking curious which is why he asks:] Um... You don't have to answer if it's personal, of course! But are you unused to that sort of reaction?
[ Yuri stays there in silence for a few seconds, because. Uh. She's making someone worry again, isn't she? ]
Oh, no. I'm sorry, but... yes. So many people here are nice. If I have to be honest, Scien wasn't as bad as I thought he would have been from what I heard.
Please, no need to apologize! I'm sorry that this is new to you, really... But I hope that it isn't a bad thing to adjust to.
[At her assessment of Scien, he smiles again, all warmth and eyes halfmooned with a fondness.]
I'm glad to hear that, too! He has a bad personality, but he's really much better than it makes him seem. He could use a little socialization too, so if you can handle him, please don't be afraid to spend more time with him!
[The way that both himself and Scien are truly just senior citizen age. Every time they squabble it's just two grandpas hitting each other with their walkers.]
It's a little surprising, right? My face is this cute, but I'm an old man inside... [This is mostly said with some amusement, though.] Monsieur Gregor and Mademoiselle Rodeo didn't seem all that troubled by it, though! It seems like you all run into some interesting things where you're from too, don't you?
[So valid of her. He saw a 3 meter tall fishman and immediately adopted the same philosophy, too.]
It's not a bad thing to be really flexible and adaptable! I think that skill will serve you well here.
[Considering she's out here befriending people who've been sent to the brig, he's getting the vibe that she'll probably manage just fine. This is a ship full of weirdos who are so openly accepting of other weirdos... The way this will be proven correct with their mass shenanigans party on Wednesday.
He laughs at that, though; a light and chiming sound.]
Mmm, it's a little less a matter of comfort. It's pretty hard for Relivers to change in personality, no matter how many years they're around! Monsieur Scien has also been exactly the same for all the time I've known him.
Dahut just laughs a little at that, though, and while the vibes are still fond, they are also vaguely exhausted. In a constant state of wanting to hit Scien with a brick.]
Well, you see... Monsieur Scien is so hard to ruffle and views things in such a strange way that he probably couldn't even tell you any "big events" in his life if you asked him! Even creating life-saving technology is just another day to him.
Monsieur Scien is never okay. [DOUBLE HELP.] But! That's just how he is. He clearly didn't have much of a reactive personality even beforehand, and he refuses to do anything to change it! That's why it's up to the people around him to try pushing him into situations that might get a fun reaction.
