<strong>"I'll... I'll pass, thanks. shrimpdog doesn't strike my fancy, Nopsys." </strong><br/><br/>She glances at the bugbear who's chuckling and huffing to himself, passing him over wordlessly to look at the Mera.<strong>"Can't, captain, it's one piece. But if you really want to see what's under here, I can accomodate once we're back on the ship."</strong>She salutes sharply with her non-needled hand, then goes back to fishing out the remaining needles. There's a slight jump as Maud hacks the shrimpdog apart, her lip curling.<strong>"It's still just a sharp rock on a stick. You know, shrimpdog was probably worth more..."</strong>She pauses, considering that.<strong>"hey. do we have anything to catch and contain one with? Just in case? Exotic pets are definitely a thing."</strong><br/><br/>She passes by Astrid on her way back to the door.<strong>"Careful, his breath corrodes copper. S'why he's not allowed to work on the wiring anymore."</strong>Poor new girl.<br/><br/>The cyborg goes prancing off down the hall, to mera's rage. having finished her needle-plucking, Taria shrugs at the captain.<strong>"If she blows her legs off, we can always wire her to the front of the boat, like a figurehead. I mean give me an hour and some ion tape..."</strong>She shrugs again, letting the thought trail off.
