-Well. Not complete silence. Satsuki sort of just pressed her forehead against the window and mumble sang an old song...-
Come all ye young fellows that follows the sea To me, way hey, blow the man down Now please pay attention and listen to me Give me some time to blow the man down
I'm a deep water sailor just come from Hong Kong You give me some whiskey, I'll sing you a song
[ oh, we're passing through Shanytown on the way to the Mayship? Jen found herself humming along quietly instead. barely a ghost of the tune. she didn't have a harmonica with her — which was probably good for the taxi driver. no tip would have made up for having to listen to that. ]
-And there they were, the Mayship well visible from the road even without its safety lights all glowing in the night. Satsuki tried to pay the fare but... couldn't quite manage her purse.-
[ she reached over with her hand to steady Satsuki's. ] No worries. I've got this. [ mostly to avoid any embarrassing fumbling with bills. her tone carries more of an apology to it, too, for the earlier comment. whether or not her friend protests, she pays and tips the driver well in short order before stepping out and heading to the other side of the car. ]
-It was fine. She could pay Jen back later. Satsuki got her belt unfastened and the door open, lifting up her knees to give the other woman a place to grab.-
Thanks again, dude. [ she said to the driver after getting Satsuki out and before she bumped the door shut with her hips. they've got a bit of distance to walk yet but Jen hardly seems winded. ]
You know, it's nice out here. Even the view from my place's got nothing on this...
Mm. [ Jen couldn't really argue that. then again, she was also more used to living in large spaces with very little in the way of stable company. except her mother, of course. ]
If they ever let you get this thing off the ground, that'll definitely attract people. They'll climb over themselves to hitch a ride. [ now it's time to clamber on up. best to focus on that more than the way Satsuki is getting cozy... ]
-Seemed like it was lights out all around. Satsuki weakly reached for the security pad near the door leading to the habitation deck, taking her a few tries to get her palm onto it for it to scan.-
Yeah, that's... a pretty weird hitch. [ she meant "glitch", yes. though Jen was staring at it even as they passed through the door, her brow furrowed. ] Meh. Technology. What can you do?
Of course. [ she doesn't stop moving, except when she has to twist to ensure she doesn't bang Satsuki's head or feet into anything. ] If it thinks you're her, though, it should listen to you when you tell it what name to use. Seems, I don't know... simple enough, to me.
Though I gotta admit. I don't think "Satsukiship" rolls off the tongue the same way. [ :P ]
-It was never closed too tightly, what with the cats wandering around and all. Satsuki nudged the light switch with her foot when they came in, the dim lamp shuddering to life and casting the room in a dull glow.-
Thanks for this, again... Knight in shining armor, this girl.
— god, you're a mess tonight. Here. [ Jen goes for the bottle, to help steady Satsuki's grip. then she sits down on the edge of the bed to make it easier to help open it up. ] You'd better not choke on that.
-But by the time Jen's attention was back on Satsuki, she was already passed out, her breathing slow and steady, snuggling into her pillow and letting out a seemingly content sigh.-

at least they'll be pulling up to the docks soon, so if there's awkward silence to follow it won't last too much longer? ]

It's a big ship for it being just me, Sakura, and a pair of cats.

[ once on deck, she looked around to see if anyone else was awake and about. ] I know. Just a bit further.

[ of course, if the hatch is shut tight, she'll probably need to let Satsuki down so they can open it. if not, time to nudge it open with her boot. ]

[ time to deposit her friend onto her bed, carefully. ] I still think you should get some water in you before you conk out.
