All right, all right. I admit it. I am the one who has been stealing things from people's cabins.

Gwen said I had to confess or she would make things very embarrassing so here's your bloody confession.

So for anyone missing, I dunno, shirts and things, you can come by my room to pick up any missing objects.

Or if you want to jus', you know. Leave them here with me. That would be fine too.

You're just now trying to put things back.

[It's both a question and not at at the same time.]

[Mason.]

[Mason pls.]

[maced_eggs]

Well, it was the port, wasn't it? Got in the way of everything.

I was going to, eventually.

[praesidium]

Mason, you had plenty of time to put things back before the port.

[maced_eggs]

You know when you put off doing something an' time just starts to slip away from you and suddenly you look up and it's next month already?


...Yeah, it's a bit like that.

[praesidium]

And I guess it's too much to hope that maybe you've learned not to procrastinate as much?

[maced_eggs]

Can't, Alana, love. Procrastination is my base nature.

[praesidium]

I thought you might say something like that.

[maced_eggs]

Consistency. That's what I am. Consistent.

[praesidium]

No arguments here.

[maced_eggs]

You aren't mad, right?

[praesidium]

No, I'm not mad. But you could put a little more effort next time.

[A beat.]

Preferably by not having a next time.

[maced_eggs]

Jus' so long as you aren't mad. I don't know how to handle it when women are mad at me.

[praesidium]

Duck and cover's a pretty good place to start.

[maced_eggs]

You laugh, but I was old enough to remember that when it first came out.

[praesidium]

Then you should be well-versed in it by now. Nothing to worry about.

[maced_eggs]

Fair enough.

But yes, no more stealing other people's garments. I've learned my lesson.

[praesidium]

Is that a promise?

[maced_eggs]

Course it's a bloody promise.

[praesidium]

Good. You better keep it.

[maced_eggs]

I'm going to keep my promises, Alana!

[Nope. not even close]

I don't need to be stealing clothes.

[praesidium]

You're right, you don't need to be.

[maced_eggs]

...But it's bloody fun work when you can get it.
