You need a good shore leave. It's on me, don't worry.

[transfundere]

I probably do.

Do you mean to say you take it upon yourself to get us shore leave?

[innerharbor]

We're gonna stop for a few days to resupply eventually. Probably on Triton. I'll ask tomorrow.

I'll make sure you have a good time.

[transfundere]

Oh that's

Quite all right. I'm sure I'll be able to find a bookseller.

[innerharbor]

You're gonna park your ass on Triton for books?

[transfundere]

What would you recommend?

[innerharbor]

I know a really good brothel on Dock 7.

[transfundere]

Oh.

That's very kind.

Very kind.

I appreciate the thought immensely.

[innerharbor]

No problem. I'll wire them credit when we dock.

[transfundere]

Oh, that shouldn't be necessary. Your good word is certainly thanks enough.

[ He will probably walk in there, have a delightful chat about things, and make his exit when the time is finished, paying them for their time.]

[innerharbor]

You sure? Call it payback for fixing my leg that one time.

[transfundere]

I am both a doctor and your friend. Fixing your leg was my professional and personal duty.

But as I said, it's a very kind thought.

[innerharbor]

Huh. Didn't know we were friends. Pretty nice of you.

Lemme know if you ever need anything, Doc. I'll take care of it.

[transfundere]

Then I have been remiss in conveying my appreciation.

Please, consider me the same way.

[innerharbor]

Nah. That's on me.

You gotta be careful, Doc. Somebody's gonna take advantage if this is how you treat everybody.

[transfundere]

I would rather someone try to take advantage than that I neglect being kind to someone out of fear.

I take your point. That's just how I choose to conduct myself.

[innerharbor]

Don't worry. I'll watch out for you.

[You have acquired one (1) new guard dog!]

[transfundere]

And you prove yourself a friend to me not three messages later. Please know I will do my best to look out for you as well.

[innerharbor]

Just keep stitching me up, Doc. Not asking for special favors.

[transfundere]

I will care for every member of this crew to the best of my ability.

But you're allowed to ask for some things.

[innerharbor]

The hell would I ask for? Just keep us patched up. You're good at your job.

[transfundere]

I don't know. I like to think I am more than just a doctor.

[innerharbor]

[Squint.]

I don't do that with crew members.

[transfundere]

[ Wait, what?]

I'm sorry? I think I missed something.

[innerharbor]

[Well Nevermind Then.]

Don't sweat it, Doc. Do what you gotta do.
