[Hello, Barge. There's another new face here, one with green eyes and brown hair with white bangs. She smiles, and it's friendly and warm. The voice is all magnolias and honey.]

Not much in the way of orientation 'round here, is there? S'all right. Ah'm no stranger ta jumpin' in the deep end right off. Sorta reminds me of the first day of school.

Mah name's Rogue. Ah'm here as a Warden. Ah'm still settlin' in, but Ah figure Ah'll take a full look around the place here in a bit, get mah bearin's. If anyone feels like playin' tour guide, Ah wouldn't object either.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

...Sorry.

I'm, um.

People tell me I'm tightly wound.

Might wanna think 'bout findin' ways ta unwind every now and again. Bein' so tense ain't good for ya.

I'm working on it.

Gradually.


Do you, um.

Do you need anything? The Admiral, he gave you what you needed to settle in?

Happy as a clam, sugah. But that's sweet of ya ta ask.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

You know, when I think of happiness on the animal scale, my mind doesn't immediately leap to clams. Are clams usually happy?

[ Oh, Ned, you're adorable.]

Ah'm pretty sure the sayin' comes from the fact that the shell seam looks like a smile.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

So...forced to look happy no matter what.

That's the sort of thing nightmares come from.

[Private]

[la_belle_rogue]

Ned, honey, you're over thinkin' it.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

I know. I know, and I'm sorry. Please disregard all talk of smiling happy clams.

[Private]

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah promise ta be gentle with mash metaphors in the future.
