Sleep, if Brigitta didn't need it she probably would forsake it altogether- she could be using the time for learning more Spanish or trying out yet another foolhardy sport, instead of just sitting there in pointless REM stuff; that won’t help her fight demons or be as fit as humanly possible will it? She can’t even be conscious to enjoy it!

…She isn’t logical at all, so sue her.

In fact: the only thing she really likes about sleep is the bit just before she wakes up fully; the bit where she can believe whatever she likes and plan another relaxed day of working out and doing nothing… Perfect, this morning should be no different- a lovely day of nothing at all; with everything as it should be.

…Until she rolls over in a wonderfully sleepy way and comes face to face with a strange woman- who was definitely not there at midnight “Ahh!”

Aaaand she promptly falls out of the bed… Which isn’t hers either when she actually stops to think about it, weird.

Well, there’s only one thing to say in this situation “what the...”

Hi Kaylee!

"Oh the real dainty ones'r in 'nara's shuttle. But she uses those for tea ceremonies for her clients," she says in reassurance, just in case Brigitta was worried about breaking one of the fancier cups on Serenity. Which, if Kaylee thinks about it a bit further, is actually a really smart move as that random pain might come back at any moment. And she doubts it'd care if they're holding mugs or not.

"Well, they do if we can't afford nuthin' on account of runnin' out of money or not gettin' paid 'nuff for a job. 's just how it is out in the black for folks like us what don't like livin' all strict under the Alliance. But we make sure to spend real smartly when we land for a supply run."

With Brigitta trailing her she heads to the cabinet lockers behind the multi-purpose counter. She opens a few of the cabinets to show an array of mugs as varied as the chairs and cushions nearby.

[ooc; /just did too ;; Stupid candy doesn't last long enough

Yeaaaa. Such is life if I want to keep paying for the car that gets my butt everywhere XD; *clings*]

Random pain is usually a very mean thing in Brigitta’s experience (limited though it admittedly is); instead of happening at perfectly sensible moments such as when she’s in grabbing distance of something to hold her up or at times where she has a nice supply of soothing things it chooses to happen when she’s in battle or holding delicate things; random pain is evil “what does she do then? Is she a… Professional tea maker or something?”

She tilts her head at all the mugs and smiles in a rather impressed way; her brain very, very slowly turning to try and understand the whole Alliance statement thing- it certainly doesn’t sound nice to her; this might be because of her freedom grabbing tendencies “are the Alliance really strict then? Sounds sensible to get away from them if they are.”

Of course, Brigitta would probably be the one running towards them screaming and holding a sword- but that doesn’t sound all that good.

[OOC: ;; It doesn't! I's so yummy but it flees so quickly, the meanie ;;

DD:; Sorry for the delay by the way! Damned school needs to stop draining all my energy -_-]

"Nope! She's a real registered Companion. She gets to pick her clients ... 'course they all tell her they wanna spend time with her. She'll serve 'em tea, entertain 'em. She can play some instruments. Or she'll give 'em massages. An' then there's those she'll have great sex with." Yes Kaylee just said that like it's nothing. Don't mind her.

"They got a lotta rules what don't make sense. 'cept for how they benefit the rich folk of the Core planets. They still ain't too popular with Outer Rim folks cos of the whole Unification idea." Grrr arrrgh Alliance.

[ooc; :< I bet it does it on purpose.

No problem! :3 Hell I was gone for days with no internets cos I went out of town so really no biggie XD]

...Brigitta's face may have just done a rather funny 'did I just hear that right?' dance; but after a few moments of turning those words over in her head she shrugs and gives a accepting smile; she might be a prude in her own relationship choices (that might be a understatement there) but she won't deprive anybody else of their fun; carrying around placards against sin really takes away training time.

"Are there a lot of rich folk around?" Brigitta actually sounds a bit angry at this; despite being sort of a princess in her old life (which she doesn't like thinking about so this thought shall be neatly forgotten after it is completed) she always played with the 'commoner' people around more; they were less sqeuamish about dirty dresses.

[OOC: :( Yesss; it is probably a defence mechanism of utter fail.

:3; yay grandparents! (I think I remember it being grandparents; poke me if I've got it wrong :/)]

"On the Core planets yea. Lots of 'em. Some even got their own floatin' islands on Bellerophon with the best security they can buy with all their money ... or so they go thinkin'."

As she's speaking she's getting water for Brigitta. Out of habit she's running it through a few filters even though the water pumping through Serenity's pipes has been the best she's ever had thanks to Taxon. Once Brigitta's chosen mug is full of the (ultra clean) water she picks her own mug out and sets it on the counter. Water's great and all but this sort of crazy morning calls for some strong tea.

[ooc; damn that defense mechanism. damn it.

:3 you got it! I was visiting my grandparents and helping them out with stuff :3]

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

"Best security" Brigitta scoffs; she's never seen those islands (or indeed heard of them before this very moment) but she's encountered amazing security before- it's amazing home magic or even a really strong whack with a sword can get around such things "are they rather inaccurate on that count?"

Ah, boring tasty water- bliss. She'll probably move on to coffee later but water has a calming effect on her; weird but it does tend to work.

Tis a stupid defence mechanism ;;

:D Yayz! Grandparent helping is awesome :3

"Well Cap'n an' Saffron got in with that code breaker she had. An' I reprogrammed the trash collector to fly just where we wanted it in a couple minutes." She grins a bit deviously. There's your answer Brigitta.

With Brigitta all set with her nice boring very tasty mug of water she can focus more on getting some of that water hot enough to make yummy leaf juice.

[ooc; Quite ;;
