<strong>Name:</strong>Richard Dawson<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Galley<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Assembled gathering<br/><br/>Richard gave Isi a quick smile, grateful that she also seemed to want to keep the fuss to a minimum. "First Mate miss. I keep order on the ship, maintain morale and a whole host of other jobs besides." He was polite, since she was a passenger after all and customer relations was one of the jobs he had to do from time to time. "Now, if you're sure you're alright I'll excuse myself and be getting back to my meal."<br/><br/>He stayed standing as Captain Early made his little announcement. He resisted the urge to let out a long sigh as the "no drinking" rule was specified. Keri was too concerned about the ship to do anything that might endanger her, and Richard himself was too much the professional to even consider drinking on the job. He didn't say anything of course, and just thought it would have been for the benefit of any of the people who decided to come up to the bridge when Keri's outburst erupted. He agreed with what she said, especially the bit about the Captain playing with Mya which he had simply been ignoring in the interest of trying to keep a civil table which had been blown to hell like usual.<br/><br/>As the dining group began to separate, Richard did allow his shoulders to slump in defeat, another attempt at having a quiet dinner ruined. Walking back to his seat, he drained the last of his champagne glass and picked up the clipboard he had left on his seat.<br/><br/>"Captain, I've got the cargo manifest here for you to have a look at as soon as you have a minute." He held up the clipboard before placing it on the table. "Do you want me to write up a rotation schedule for the bridge watch Captain?" The question held the inflection of asking:<em>Anything else need to be done?</em>If he didn't Richard always had a list of things that needed to be done, from cleaning and maintaining his guns to checking on the cargo and cleaning his bunk, all of which helped to eat up the time spent in The Black. Of course he would do that anyways, but he still needed to check and see if anything else needed to be done.
