A meeting on Matsue base

[Stuffz]

"Do you have a dog bowl around?" She sighed as he closed the door behind them.

He gave her an annoyed look. "You will get a meal like everybody else. Don't think we treat our prisoners like dogs."

"It's easier to eat from a bowl with your hands shackled than from a plate" She grins at him.

They continued to walk through the narrow corridors, slowly approaching the stations mess.
"They'll be put off eventually, don't worry. But maybe I should leave them on, I'm sure it would be amusing."

She followed him watching the interior.
"I promise I will take off my clothes slowly this time."

He kept looking straight ahead, not showing any emotion.
"Your solution for everything, hmm?"

"How about we stop biting each other with witty remarks?"
She looked around again.
"It looks good for being over 700 years old."

"Fine. And why do you think this is over 700 years old? Where do you think you are anyway?"

They slowly approached the door leading to the mess.

"Battleship Myoko. It has artificial gravity but not strong enough for a station. Only Sekigahara's have this way shaped corridors and patterns like this.
You would hardly bring me to Yamaguchi as that one is now under Kogen's control. And we aren't on Sado either as we didn't do a jump.
But I probably shouldn't have known about that one right?"

He chuckled a bit as they enter the mess.
"Nice try, but quite wrong. I don't think I should tell you where we are though."

She just shruged.
"You don't have to. So, would you take that shackles off please? By wrists are starting to hurt."

"Right." He walked around her to take the hancuffs off. "I can trust you to not try anthing silly?"

"You have my word."

"I hope you don't break it."
He opened her shackles and took them with him.
"Now, get yourself something to eat."

She took a plate and got herself some food and something to drink before returning back to him.
They took a seat on one of the many tables in the mess. "Hmph. The admiral didn't say anything about what I should do with you afterwards."

She ate her foods slowly. "You could tell me about yourself, you are a bit in favor .. in more things" She smiled a little.

He arched an eyebrow. "How am I in your favor again?"

"You heard about me and you have seen me naked."
She chewed her sushi and watched him.

He watches her eat and thinks about that. "Your point being? That was your own fault."

"You gave me no other choice." She drank a bit of sake trying to ignore it's poor taste.

"I don't think there is much you need to know about me. And I guess there isn't much I'm willing to tell either."

"Fine, we will just look at each other quietly"
She looked to her food.

He looked at her in silence for a short while.
"Alright, what do you want to know?"

"You and Junko... " She left an open gap.

He frowned.
"I don't see why you should care about that.."

She chuckled.
"She wanted you to kill me. Which I actually forgot to thank you for not doing it."

"Would have saved me these questions at least..
Well, she is quite angry at you, but I doubt she would want to go that far."

"How long will you hold me here?" She finished her meal.

He shrugs.
"I really have no idea what they are going to do with you."

"Alright." She leaned on the table and watched him.

He looks up to the ceiling and thinks for a bit before looking at her again.
"I suppose I should put the shackles on again and bring you back to your cell."

"I can't wait" She muttered.

He got up and walked over to her side.
"Alright, get up and I'll put you in cuffs again."

She sighed and stood up.
He takes her arms and puts the shackles on them again.

"Don't complain now. This was all your own idea."

"Yeah, it looks better and better every minute" She stood there shackled.

He nodded towards the door.
"Let's get going. And well, you even had the chance to talk with the Admiral, so I guess this is going pretty well for you."

She shrugged on the way to the door. "It's not just her decision."

"She has a big say in it though."
They walked out of the mess and found themselves in the narrow corridors again.

"And what about you? What would be your decision about my fate?" She turned her head to him.

Surprised he stopped for a moment. "I.. can hardly decide that. I don't know you enough."

She stopped too and leaned on the wall. "Well, we will see if you will have a chance to do so sometime."

He turned his head to look at her. "Depends. If you really get that 'amnesty', what are you going to do?"

"I offered to serve under the Naval banner, if you mean things of less importance then check what happened with my estate. Have a chit chat with certain people..."

He raised an eyebrow. "The Naval Forces? Are you sure you want that? You won't be very popular.."

"Do you think I was popular between Dragons?" She raised an eyebrow back.

"I honestly have no idea."

"Well I led the Black Dragons, they don't have exactly good relationship with each other, right?"

"Hmm. I guess you're right." He smirked at her. "But can you deal with Junko?"

She chuckled. "She will calm down, buy her something nice, surprise her and so on. I am not the real problem here."

"She might forgive me. I hope she does. But she will probably still hate you."

"Forgive you what? That you didn't shoot me in the chest? In the end, you told her to shoot. She is angry on herself right now. And in love."

"Not really your business, right? Let's get moving again.." He sounded a bit annoyed. "Not really things I should discuss with a prisoner, hmm?"

"If you say so." She started to walk again. "I just speak from experience."

"Is that so? I doubt I'll need your advice though."
Walking deeper inside the station, they approached the small holding cell that had been prepared for her.

She looked inside and sighed. "Home sweet home!"

"I have the feeling you'll be out of here soon enough. So, enjoy it while you can."

"Why do you think so? Your GF will come and murder me?"

"My.. She won't do that. And now get inside."

"The handcuffs please."

"Right. Nearly forgot that."
He removed the handcuffs again and waited for her to step inside the cell.

"Arigatou." She moved around him inside the cell.

Standing at the door he looked at her. "Sayonara. Maybe we'll meet again."

"Can't wait." It isn't clear if she is serious or not.

He sighs quietly and closed the door and returns to the mess, not really sure where he should go now.
