That doesn't sound right. [ Maybe he might've believed it in text, given how unshakeable Dutch seems to be, but even JJ's not that stupid when he can hear her voice. ] Do you have a lot of experience fighting giant dragons?

[motivation]

( she should have texted. too tired, though. )

Figurative ones, sure.

[underwhelms]

[ What a cool answer. Typical Dutch. ]

Guess this was new to both of us then. I wonder if... [ He's inside one of the rooms right now, but he glances at the door as if it could provide him a view of the sight of the monstrous creature, frozen in time, all the same. ] I wonder if we'll get sent back down there to finish it off.

[motivation]

If they keep him in stasis but not us, it'd be easy.

( she's not sure that's possible. she's also not letting herself feel anything for or about the dragon. easier that way to kill it, even if his sadness reverberated through her. )

[underwhelms]

Forever? Just hovering there? [ He grimaces. ] Who would be able to relax like that?

[motivation]

Not forever. Just long enough for us to slice and dice.

[underwhelms]

You're right, let him come back just long enough to get his head sliced off.

[ Gross. ]

I don't get why the Natha don't just do it themselves. It seems like less work than freezing the entire planet.

[motivation]

Who the hells knows why they do anything.

( she’d sound grumpier about that if she wasn’t as tired as she is. )

[underwhelms]

You're right. [ He rubs his face, there's really no point in trying to figure them out. ] Want a drink?

[motivation]

Always.

( a beat. ) In a few hours. ( she needs sleep more than she needs that drink and jim kirk is a heavy and very asleep weight against her side. yes, she's texting jj while in be with another guy. )

[ 👀 ]

im going to get a head start 🍺🍻
but i'll liveblog my adventures so you don't feel like you're missing out

[motivation]

How sweet of you.

[underwhelms]

I figure you miss me.

[ Maybe Dutch can hear him winking. ]

[motivation]

Desperately.

( maybe he can hear the dry sarcasm. )
