Learn to be a leaf

[dino_zarf]

Since Rose's self appointed godparents decided to give us enough credits to buy a ship... who wants flying lessons?

[As far as Wash is concerned, everyone should want flying lessons. Flying lessons are the best.]

Like an actual space ship? In space?

Only since I was like 6!

[dino_zarf]

Seems a shame not to since we're actually in space for a change.

[dontbetoncurry]

Tell me the time and space. I will be there. I'd say with bells on, but I don't got no bells.

[dino_zarf]

We're docked near the Empress. Ready to start right about now.

[dontbetoncurry]

I am totally on my way. Need me to bring a drink or something to do a launch ceremony thingy?

[breakaleginhalf]

Dude, yes?

[As long as your ship isn't sentient please.]

[dino_zarf]

She's a zippy little thing, but she handles well enough that she should be fine for a beginner.

[Dont mind the abject glee making its way into his psychic voice.] Where're you hanging out? I'm not exactly doing anything right now.

[dino_zarf]

[That is the proper reaction to flying]

We're docked near the EMpress of Moths. For old times' sake.

[breakaleginhalf]

Fuck yes. I'll be right over!

[Armin doesn't have long, to scour the walkabout network and learn what's going on - his psychic bridge will only last a little more than half an hour. But even so, he can't resist a comment when he comes across this post, voice quiet but glad.]

I'm happy to hear you're getting a chance to fly again. I'd love to learn, if we're ever on the same side of things when you get the chance again.

Gotta admit, it's nice to have skills to contribute that aren't baby holding. And Rose is having fun when we go up. I like teaching people how to do it.

[Rose is too young to learn. But not too young to sit in his lap if she's not likely to get tossed.]

[neverfeltthatway]

She's doing all right, then? It's good to hear she's enjoying the time too.

Re: [Audio]

[dino_zarf]

Still misses her mom, but she's enjoying seeing all the different aliens here. She's frustrated that people don't realize she's trying to talk to them though.

Ah - I hadn't thought of that. I suppose it would be strange, if you've always communicated through the network, and suddenly it didn't work.

[dino_zarf]

Might motivate her to try it out loud, but I'm pretty sure she gets frustrated trying to get her mouth to say as much as her brain can.

[Audio]

[neverfeltthatway]

I'm sure she would. Still, I suppose it probably needs to happen sometime, or she might never learn to speak aloud.
