I'm failing to understand the purpose of stopping in port for a "relaxing vacation". I was under the apparently false impression that this wasn't a pleasure cruise.

[Private to Ariadne]

I'm assuming you want to disembark.

You mean why is she here?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

I mean how is she different from the other wardens?

[resultofwar]

She asks a lot of questions.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Has she told you about your file yet?

[resultofwar]

Yes. [Lies. But. Heero's good at lying. It is, after all, part of the job.]

Why?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

[Good enough that David buys it. He looks momentarily disarmed.]

Huh. Guess you're right about her being different then. You're fine with her knowing that much about you?

[resultofwar]

No. But it's how this place works.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Maybe there's nothing that can be used against you in your file. Some of us don't have that luxury.

[resultofwar]

Has Bourne shown you yours?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

No.

[resultofwar]

Have you asked him to?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

He doesn't know I know about the file yet. He's been trying to play it smooth, like he doesn't know me yet.

[resultofwar]

Clearly he's an idiot.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

No, he's sharp. He just thinks I'm an idiot.

[resultofwar]

The knowledge that wardens have files on their assigned inmates is a commonly known fact. The fact that he seems to think you don't know about them isn't exactly reassuring in terms of his intelligence.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

... I didn't think about that, but you're right. Maybe he does know. And he's just letting me think that he doesn't.

[resultofwar]

What would that achieve?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I know he's not stupid though. First time we met... he pretty much took me out in one hit.

[resultofwar]

What branch of military?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

My money's on the Army.

[resultofwar]

Why are you so reluctant to work with him?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

He's already told me I'm not getting off this ship unless it's on his terms. I'm not jumping through hoops for that bastard.

[resultofwar]

But being entirely hostile isn't going to get you anywhere.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

That's the other thing I wanted to find you for. He's on this island too. It's too good an opportunity. So I'm doing something about him. Here. Tonight.

[resultofwar]

[That gets you a look that is somewhere between 'lol rly :|' and 'go on'.]
