Hi, Lucretia speaking. I'm busy at the moment, but if you'd like to leave a message, I'll get back to you ASAP.

(She started to come out of her shell a lot more after the cycle she spent alone, so in a way balance found her? But she doesn't resent it.)

Yes, I think so. I mean, look at me now. Able to talk to cute girls without breaking a sweat.

[dancingmd]

A fortunate thing, for both of us!

[scholiast]

I agree 💋

What is the rest of your crew like? I talk about mine often enough.

[dancingmd]

Well, there's about a thousand of them so I don't know that I can go into *everyone* but...

I've told you a little about Jean-Luc, haven't I?

[scholiast]

A little, yes! But I wouldn't mind knowing more.

[dancingmd]

(Good. Maybe it'll be easier to write about him than to talk about him.)

He's more than my captain - he's one of my oldest friends and Jack's best friend. They served on a ship called the Stargazer together. It was Jean-Luc's first command and

(Her fingers hover uncertainly above her phone. No doubt Lucretia is getting a series of ellipses on her end, assuring her that Beverly is still there, still writing. Eventually the rest of the sentence will come.)

When Jack died, Jean-Luc was there. He's the one who brought him home to Wesley and me.

[scholiast]

Oh, Beverly. I'm so sorry.

(She can't even imagine how hard that must have been for the both of them. She wishes she were nearby, if only so she could take Beverly's hands in her own and hold them tight.)

I'm glad somebody was able to bring him back to you and Wesley.

[dancingmd]

He's a good man. One of the best I know: brilliant, too, and compassionate, even if he is a little too stuff and serious sometimes!

[scholiast]

I wish he could meet him, knowing you think so highly of him! Maybe some day.

[dancingmd]

Maybe. Though as much as I want to see him, I don't know how he would handle being here.

[scholiast]

I know what you mean. I can't imagine my captain being here: it would probably drive him crazy.

YELLS THIS NEVER POSTED

[dancingmd]

I can't say I wouldn't be happy to see him though.

excuse me dw we're trying to be cute over here!!!!

[scholiast]

Of course! I'm finding it odd enough with only half the crew here; I can't imagine what it's like to be here more or less by yourself.

[dancingmd]

I'm not by myself, though. I have you.

(And lots of others too!)

[scholiast]

(Aw...

Hopefully nobody else in the library notices Lucretia chinning her hand with a happy little sigh.)

Yes, you do 😊

[dancingmd]

♥️♥️♥️

[scholiast]

(This is a direct attack on her self-control!)

Stop being cute. I want to see you, but I still have so much work left to finish.

[dancingmd]

But it's so fun to distract you 😉

[scholiast]

And I would much, much rather be distracted.

Can I come over tonight?

[dancingmd]

The cats and I will be waiting!

[scholiast]

Oh, well if the cats will also be there I will try to get away early.

[dancingmd]

Good, because they miss you.

[scholiast]

I will hasten home to them the moment I am finished, promise.

[dancingmd]

See you soon 😻
