holy rings of betazed

Isabella doesn't really like being surrounded by Betazoids. She can ward off the scans - it's barely an effort - but they look at her like she's terribly unfriendly for doing it. Still, she almost never gets verbal complaints for it. She can conduct her shopping while Lalita hires a ship to go get the Harlequin from where he left her, and then they have a week to kill on the planet and its immediate environs while the tugboat goes out and fetches her.

Shopping isn't going to take that long. They should do tourist things!

"I've had all those careers and... that was one of them?" he says, puzzled.
dream_me_up: (⑪ pretty please)

"Yes...? I can tell that this is a problem, I just can't tell why," he says.

"Well, I guess I'm unfair, then," he says mildly.

"I've also killed some people," he says. "Some of them might have deserved it. I don't know, I wasn't really thinking about it at the time."

He shrugs.

"But that was all a long time ago. It's easier to get by without that kind of thing now."

He shrugs again.

"...As opposed to what?" he says, blinking. "I wasn't doing it for kicks before."
dream_me_up: (⑫ tell me a story)

"No, I was thinking about why I needed them to be dead and how I could get them that way without getting in worse trouble," he says. "Usually because they were about to hurt me somehow."

"I don't know you well enough to know exactly which things you get worried about," he sighs. "You might think they're obvious, but they're not obvious to me."

"Well, I'm worried about me living," he says. "And if I have to lie or kill or steal to keep doing that, I will."
dream_me_up: (⑭ so damn permanent)

He gives her a look, somewhere between quizzical and annoyed.

"You know," he says, "I could probably lead a less risky life if I tried really hard, but I don't actually set out to be captured by Klingons or robbed at gunpoint or almost raped or whatever. These things happen by accident. They're not so common in the world we live in now - well, Klingons are a special case - but I was born in a very different world. How much do you even know about prewarp Earth?"
