Lance Daniels<br/>Position: Engineer<br/>Location: Planetside, driving the ground mule to the scrapyard<br/>Tagged: Phil, Keri<br/>Mentioned: Braxton, Sophie<br/><br/>Lance picked up on Phil's sarcasm, but didn't acknowledge it.<strong>"That's the spirit.  Keep this up and one day you might get to be the one driving the mule while I get shot down by Keri."</strong>He chuckled, still savoring Phil's failed attempt.  It didn't change the fact that both Keri and Serenity still seemed to look at Phil a little more fondly than they did Lance.<br/><br/>He took the swat from Keri good-naturedly, knowing that he'd scored a point against Keri.  In some ways, his relationship with Keri was as competitive as the one between Serenity and Braxton, though Lance and Keri actually enjoyed each other's company.  Occasional awkward moments aside, he did always like spending time with her.<strong>"If you think she's going to shut Braxton down, you underestimate either his charm with strangers, her apparent interest in men with libido, or the appeal of being a ship's captain."</strong>Braxton certainly seemed to know just how much more attention that ship got him from women planetside.  You could see it in that smirk of his.<br/><br/><strong>"Besides, he might be too distracted with Mya to really care.  Public humiliation aside, he actually seems to genuinely care for her lately."</strong>He looked back to Keri to see her reaction, but it seemed she'd already decided to go to sleep on him again.<strong>"This is getting to be a habit"</strong>he said, but not too loudly.  He didn't want to wake her up.  He drove silently for a bit, Phil not being among his top choices for conversation partners, but in the end he enjoyed having company too much to remain quiet.<strong>"What do you think?  Think he actually has feelings for her?  They shared a couple of rather tender moments the other night, though one of them was after you left."</strong>
