When Strange Worlds Collide, Day 86

Onboard the Wicked Sister:

Victor (to Yukiko): Hey. I brought you some tea and something for your headache. How are you feeling?

Yukiko (to Victor): Like, I went twelve rounds with an automaton... Thank you, watashi no ai.

Victor (to Yukiko): ..You're welcome. How're your hands doing? Heh. I hate to see the other guy. Lemme have a butchers at 'em.

Yukiko (to Victor): Heh. It wasn't just one... Actually, I lost count. Fiona was egging them on... I swore I saw her kick one bloke back at me when he was trying to make a runner.

Victor (to Yukiko): That would explain the state of your arms and hands, then. I've got them pretty well sorted... Feeling up to food?

Yukiko (to Victor): Food would actually be good, I think. Nothing too heavy, though. Heh. You're handling this pretty well, Victor, I'm surprised. I probably shouldn't be. But, if this had happened a year or so ago, you would have flipped at me.

Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. I would have, wouldn't I? I'm not gonna lie, I worry about you, but this is who you are, innit? You're a bit mad. :-p Soup sound alright? So. Uh... Crikey. I dunno how to ask this... Are you sure you wanna stay on board the Sister?

Yukiko (to Victor): Soup would be fine... And yeah, I wanna stay with you. I just might need to go blow off steam by getting into a bar brawl, on occasion... The tight spaces, engine troubles, stupid squirrel and close knit family was making me a bit cagey. You're stuck with me, watashi no ai... Unless, you want me off the ship? Heh. I'm just kidding. I know you don't.

Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. Of course I ruddy well don't! I love having you here with me. But, as much as I may love it. More than that I want you to be happy. Heh. And I can more than understand the need for some breathing room now and again.

Yukiko (to Victor): You are lovely, watashi no ai. I'm fine. Honest.

Victor (to Yukiko): Heh. Not as lovely as you.

Yukiko (to Victor): Heh. Yeah, especially with my arms all wrapped. :-P
