So, uh-- when I first got here, Dr. Cambridge put an implant in me, so I wouldn't have to deal with periods and stuff. But it was a birth control thing too, so that means if I'm having sex I don't have to bother with condoms or nothing, right?

[Little-known fact: the deck kind of freaks Tiffany out. Out there, space is right in your face, and there's so much of it-- it's impossibly big, and it makes her feel impossibly small. She's never even seen the ocean from the deck of a ship; seeing the entire universe from one is infinitely more overwhelming.
But it's also nice and peaceful, in a way-- not to mention beautiful. So sometimes when she's feeling particularly brave (and right now, post-port, she definitely is) she goes out onto the main deck. She almost always stays away from the railing, opting instead to stick as close to the side of the ship as possible. Sometimes she walks, but it makes her feel a little dizzy. Mostly, she can be found sitting down-- not on a bench, but on the floor, her back pressed against the solid, reassuring Barge wall.
It doesn't matter where she sits. Either way, she can still see the stars.]

This is the kind of message you aren't supposed to respond to and in fact you should delete it off your phone once you have read it and pretend you realized it all on your own. I know guys don't pick up signals sometimes but if I'm real honest girls are the same way even though we're supposed to be better at this stuff so don't feel bad. So in case you didn't already know the signal coming from me is this, I like how things are and will not be unhappy at all if nothing changes but if you asked me out on a date someday I would say yes.
[Look at her, using spellcheck! It doesn't help with punctuation issues, but still.]

Is it really hard to learn how to use a sword? Does it take a long time?
Re: Spam
It can. I wouldn't ask you to start with this, [he tilts the blade of the sword he's holding, then sets it down], that wouldn't be fair. But it's like anything else. The more work you're prepared to put in, the greater the reward.

If you want. But if you'd like to learn anyway, I'd like to teach you. Even if you never use it against a real opponent.

[Merlin picks up one sword, and then the other.
The pokers, he leaves. He likes that she's making good decisions and taking pride in them, but he has to leave her with a degree of freedom to make mistakes and suffer the consequences. As unkind as that might be.]

[She looks a little disappointed, but not surprised. She definitely notices that he's leaving the pokers behind, but she doesnt' comment.]
Maybe you could teach me a little bit. But... I think I'd rather focus more on working in the infirmary. And uh, school and stuff.
[She figures hearing that will make him happy.]
Re: Spam
That's good. I - it's not my business, it's yours, but...I'm glad that that's where you'd rather be.

[Granted, she mostly likes it for selfish reasons-- it makes her feel good about herself, and it makes other people praise her-- but it's a start.]
Re: Spam
[It is. He'll take it.]
Back to work tomorrow, then?
