Arya? Let's talk.

[captain_jtkirk]

[He sighs.] I'm coming back. I just wanted you to know before I left.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Nobody else came back. [Which isn't entirely true, Jesse did. But she trusts Jesse a lot more than she trusts Kirk.]

You'll forget. And I don't care.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm not anyone else.

[Also you liar, so did Arthur.]

Would it help if you knew why I have to do this?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[He left again, so it doesn't count. :c

She rolls her eyes and crosses her arms, but she doesn't trot off after Nymeria.]

I don't need your help, but fine. What's so important that you have to leave without your deal?

[captain_jtkirk]

A friend of mine was murdered. And his killer is still out there. I'm going to bring him to justice.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[It sure touches home, and her scowl slips a little, but she keeps her arms crossed.]

You're going to kill him.

[captain_jtkirk]

If he doesn't come quietly.

[Which he doesn't expect will happen. You don't murder a Starfleet Admiral and beat up a Vulcan and come quietly.]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Good.

[She drops her arms, and the frown is back when she shrugs.] You're just going to forget again, even if you do come back. So don't bother.

[captain_jtkirk]

I guess we'll just see how wrong you are when I get back.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I'm not wrong. You already left once.

[And she turns to trot down the stairs to head after Nymeria.] You'll do it again.
