If Thrawn were here...

Well, he gets along fine in his uniforms, even the formal ones. But the societal norms would chafe. He wouldn't have much tolerance for Pheme's games, and anything trying to control his actions or force him to show emotion would be a pain. He's frustratingly opaque most of the time.

Of course, if he were here, we'd have to navigate what working together looks like when we're not under the formal supervision of the Navy.

[Fraternization not being a concern and all...]

[ Is... That a crush she is detecting?

Oh. Annie is here for it. Too bad the man in question isn't here. She wouldn't want that for anyone. It's very jarring. ]

I have a hard time with it too. I can't imagine how hard it would be if this kind of thing goes against what you're comfortable with.

Someone I am close to has a hard time because she comes from a similar society. She's not treated well there because of social classes and money. It chaffs against my principles because I don't treat people differently.

Very few things make us actually different if you take away the money. Puts you on the same level.

I think you'd have an interesting time navigating having an even playing field with Thrawn. I can't say I could predict what would happen.

Me, I'm from a backwater planet in Wild Space. Joining the Imperial Navy was my attempt at a better life. I still sometimes get planetary governors looking down their nose at me for my accent and lack of ties to the Galactic Core.

[A pause between messages. Right! Enough about what him and Thrawn would be like together here!]

Does this woman know you think of her as someone close to you?

[ohmyscream]

I come from a back country town on a coast no one thinks much of. We don't have space travel past our fourth planet in our system yet. I have no idea what it's like for you but I think your life sounds pretty amazing.

Well. When we were busy flirting in a library over an old book of fairy tales and she was feeling a bit "unworthy" I kind of got dramatic. She was thinking very poorly of herself and I don't like that so I went all in.

Held the book up and said :"You are just as worthy as these princesses of love and adoration. You are no devil. You are a woman just like me."

So she at least knows I'm an over the top romantic when it strikes me. I'm probably doomed. Just a bit.
