[Private to the Admiral]
Um... hi? [Do you even do small talk with the Admiral when you have to ask him things? Does he even care if you're polite? Cass has no idea but hey, it can't hurt.] Need Loki to be... restricted. His strength, mostly. Make him... strong as average human. Please.

And, um. Thank you?

[Filtered from Loki]
[Now that that's dealt with, hello barge! Cass is hanging out in the CES today, sitting on a rock so she can get some sun. All that time in the infirmary left her feeling kind of stir crazy, so here she is.]

By now, will have seen... Loki's... whatever that was. Sorry, for him. Would be better if... he'd just bother me. No one else... should have to see that.

But, it's also good. What he wants, it's public. Everyone knows, wants to hurt me. But, he won't attack me. He'll hurt you. Everyone I love, everyone I care about, he'll hurt them.

So, restricted his strength. Which means, most of you? Stronger than him, now. Still, be careful. He's insane, if he wants to hurt, he'll find way. All I ask is... try not to kill him?

That's, um. That's all.

[She waves, then cuts the feed.]

Is he really dangerous?

Private;

[hellofist]

He's a god, in his world. Less powerful now, no more magic, but still... someone to keep eye on.

I'm Cassandra. Probably... have heard him, talking about me.

Private;

[ukan]

Not just him. And most people have good things to say. I'm Lark. It's nice to meet you, Cassandra.

How is he taking to being a mortal, so far?

Re: Private;

[hellofist]

You too, Lark. What have you, um... heard, about me? From who?

[Mostly she's just curious because she hadn't realized there was much about her worth talking about.]

Lots of yelling. So... about the same.

Private;

[ukan]

Good things. That you're kind, which is a rare thing around here. And that if I'm ever looking to spar, you're the top tier.

Private;

[hellofist]

Would you spar? Most men... scared, of hurting me. Don't fight girls. It's dumb.

Private;

[ukan]

It is dumb. My female at home could do more damage than most people on board this ship can.

And I've never hurt anyone on accident. Besides, from what everyone says, I should be more worried about you hurting me.

Private;

[hellofist]

Your... female? [Okay she might not be up on all the language stuff but even Cass knows people don't belong to other people.]

Won't hurt you. Not unless... you hurt someone. I try... to play nice.

Private;

[ukan]

Wolf jargon. She's the alpha female in my pack...so our 'female'. Just like I'm her 'alpha male'.

[He smiles, though.] I really only hurt people if I can't handle them any other way. Sometimes you have to fight...but I'd like to think most problems can be solved more gracefully.

Private;

[hellofist]

[Belonging with people is something Cass does understand, so she just smiles back and nods at Lark now.]

Good. Not everyone... feels like that. Nice to meet people... who do.

Private;

[ukan]

I get the feeling most people here haven't had much luck solving things with words. Wardens included.

Private;

[hellofist]

Lots of times... words are too hard. But, they're important, too. More people... should try. Might solve problems.

Private;

[ukan]

Is that how you've solved your problems here?

Private;

[hellofist]

So far, mine have been... the kind time solves.

Private;

[ukan]

The worst kind, then. I'm sorry.

Has time really been helping?

Private;

[hellofist]

Yes. But sometimes, takes time... and then a push.
