It's a real privilege, and I mean it. She's incredible—the work she's doing, there's really no one like her. Her people are fortunate to have her, and so many don't understand.

[he notes this] Would you be, ah, willing to tell me about her and her work? I very, ah, much want to understand.

She's the best engineer you'll ever see—and that's the truth, friend, don't let any of those scientists in there tell you that it's them. She loves her work, even if her people forbid it—really fixing the canals that she was taught to take care of as a priest of the canals. Most of the priesthood's got it backwards, but not her.

[ he takes another swig from his flask. ]

Can't trust any of the rest of them. Not a one.

...I, ah, see. [so work relating to the canals is religious, but actually fixing them or making some substantive change is...heresy? ] ...so she is, ah, accounted a heretic, then?

That is, ah...unfortunate. Especially with the importance of her work. I, ah, hope that someday, somehow....more people will understand.

Heretic, yeah. She tells me they call it darool—the words for "heresy" and "innovation" are the same, can you believe that?

[ you have learned one (1) Martian word. ]

Maybe with time... maybe. Once they see what it does for them, they have to.

[notes that.]

I can, ah, believe it. It's, ah, unfortunate...but I can believe it. [foundation of their society, he guesses, based on the linguistic connection.]

Maybe, ah, maybe....

Then again, if they don't, I won't live to see it. I'd die for her. I believe in her that much.

I can't save everyone, but maybe I can, for her.

If it, ah, comes to that...

I hope you succeed. For, ah, her.

I won't fail. For anyone I care about—I'd do anything.

[that is such a familiar feeling.]

...I, ah, see. Then I, ah, hope that it is...never necessary.

Well, if you overhear anything about danger to her—bring it to me first, all right?

Re: THE OUTER DECK

[personal profile] forgottenmercy 2020-02-19 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
If I, ah, do, I will. [gentle, vague, just like he's been talking all night.]

Well, Persephone—it's really, truly been good to meet you.

[will allow him to kiss his hand, then] It was, ah, nice to meet you as well. But for, ah, now, I will leave you to your quiet.

[and your smoking. and if allowed will go...elsewhere.]

[ the outer deck connects to the grand ballroom, and the dining room. the grand ballroom connects to the lower deck, the lecture hall, and the observation deck; the dining room connects to the ladies' retiring room and the kitchen. ]
