Stephen has spent some time thrashing around like a rabid dog and now he has collapsed in a heap in his cage.
----
Richard stares a moment then follows, his eyes narrowing back into a glare. "Hang on. Where are you going?"
---
"I have not seen her get easily upset."

She kneels down by the cage. "Stephen?"
--
He gestures to the room with the piano in it, then enters it.
--
"She sure gets upset at me."

Stephen tries scrambling to his feet and ends up smacking his head on the ceiling of the cage. "s**t!" He curls up and rubs his head.
---
Richard frowns but enters.
---
"That is unfortunate."

"Easy.. Are you okay?"
--
List has moved over to an armchair.
Nat's sitting in it, looking grumpy with a swollen jaw. He motions Richard over.
--
He snorts.

He rubs his head. "My head hurts and I'm in a cage."
---
Richard inches over, hand going towards the gun. "What's going on?"
---
"What can I do to help?"

"You got too excited.. Sorry about Richard."
--
Nat sighs and swallows. "I want to look at your arms."
--
"I don't know. Nothing, probably."

"He's so self absorbed."
---
"Why?"
----
"Are you certain?"

"He can be.. sometimes. He's just trying to be careful."
--
Nat gives him a look that lacks any sort of amusement. "Let me see them."
--
"Yeah."

"He's going to make me chomp up his head."
----
"Why should I?"
---
Very sad Bradley face.

"Don't talk like that." She frowns.
--
"Do you want my help or not?"
--
"Oh, don't look like that. You got to clean up some shoe polish, didn't you?"

"I'm just being honest. s**t, this is worse than a hangover."
---
Richard scowls and starts rolling up his sleeves. "How could you help with this?"
---
"Yes, but I am not supposed to cause trouble."

"If you want to come in, Richard has agreed to talk. Nicely. But I understand if you want to avoid him for a while."
--
"I don't know. I just wanted to have a look."
--
"Like I said, it wasn't your fault."

"I do want to talk, but yes. I need to calm down more first. ..How do you handle it?"
---
Richard scowls some more then moves closer once his sleeves are rolled up. The runs are still very visible, some secreting a light trail of blood.
---
"If you say so, Mister Pendergraff."

"It's just part of me." She smiles. "It's always fighting you, though, because you weren't born that way."
--
Nat leans forward to peer at them.
List makes a face.
--
Sigh! "She'll probably run off with Matthew now. If I'm lucky, they won't toss me off the ship mid-flight."

"Uugh." He rolls over.
---
Richard continues the scowling.
---
"I don't think they will toss you over."
