Hatchet
Blunt and Sharp
Ruma shot Hartwin a displeased look but as the second in command did not pursue the antagonism, he followed the man’s lead and kept his thoughts out of his words. He let two of the others do the work of expressing his impatience, slightly worried about what would come out of his mouth if he added his own two cents. The captain was the only one he owed a damn thing to, he reminded himself irritably, twitching the suit one last time and wiggling his fingers to make sure he still had as much mobility as he was going to. The rest was just distractions.
The longer they interacted, the better sense Phalon got that she was of some level of interest to the medic. Suppressing a small smile as the smaller woman fumbled to answer, Phalon shifted to adjust her jacket, pulling it tighter around her torso and tucking her dainty hands into her elbows. “I can imagine the philosophical imprecations of bacterium battles as applied to the whole of humanity,” she said lightly, wiggling her nose a little to indicate nothing but fun. “I do not suppose my own ways of keeping busy are much to brag about, though. There are only so many marvelous ways to prepare canned foods, nutrition bars and supplement powders,” she sighed in the manner of one enduring a long defeat.
Swiftly, Phalon considered several other options; she had no doubt that the good doctor would prove an enjoyable conversationalist, if they could ease their way through the awkwardness of new meetings. “Do you enjoy card games, doc?”
