<strong>Name:</strong>Richard Dawson<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Galley, Serenity's shuttle<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Captain Early, Lance, Serenity<br/><br/>Richard glared at Lance, despite his position as part owner of The Line. "Last I heard, The Captain wanted himself, Keri and me to rotate. Jus' cause I don't know how to fly don' mean I can't sound the gorram alarm when something goes wrong." He left it at that though, and since the Captain hadn't said anything about a schedule, he wasn't going to be writing one. He figured he would just go up to the bridge in a bit to see how things were going.<br/><br/>Sues outburst struck a chord with Richard, particularly the part about sitting down to have a nice dinner, but he wouldn't simply stand aside if there was going to be a mutiny. His hand was on his holster just in case things got violent, and his knuckles turned white when Captain Early pulled his own piece. Thankfully the situation didn't reach the breaking point, though Richard wasn't sure how long things would last before someone fired a shot. Hopefully things would settle down given time. He decided right then that he would have to go around and have a talk with all parties involved, just try and make sure this didn't happen again.<br/><br/>Serenity would be his first stop. Sue and Keri looked like they might need some time to calm down, and the Captain would be busy for a while with Mya. So he left the galley without a word, finally able to relax his grip on his revolver, and began the walk to the shuttle bay where Serenity docked. In his mind he tried to come up with something to say that wouldn't sound like an accusation or an apology, and failed. He stopped before the docking bay and straightened out his outfit, took a deep breath and approached the shuttle, knocking on the door.<br/><br/>When it was opened, he took off his hat in a show of respect and said. "Uh, Mistress Serenity, I was wondering if I could talk to you about what happened at dinner? Won't take but a moment of your time." I hope, was the silent addition. He didn't want to sound like he was accusing her of starting a fight, because she probably wouldn't react all that well to that, but he wasn't about to start trying to apologise for the Captains actions either. A man had a right to his opinion, and as far as he could tell, Captain Early hadn't broken any written laws by owning Elfie, just a moral code with what he did at the table with the doctor. This was probably going to be a difficult conversation, which was the other reason he was here first. Sue and Keri might be a bit easier to talk to, and the Captain would be another difficulty.
