[Forgiving her as quickly as he did was truly out of the goodness of his heart, but he can't deny that he's anxious to have her back at work. He's not so bad at overseeing things himself, but he has his hands full with this crew and he needs someone to oversee the more mundane things so that he has time to keep the peace and keep the ship afloat.
Wait until Xun Yu learns why they ended up short on provisions...]
no subject
How short are we now, and how far is Port Chance?
[Fortunately food shortages are a common concern for any experienced military strategist. She will check for herself soon enough, but an estimate before she takes precise stock of the situation wouldn't hurt.
It occurs to her that the ship is not the only thing that has grown in size.]
How many new crew recruits are on board?
no subject
[He sighs and scratches at his head.]
We've taken on three new recruits. Tao is Ragna's friend and she has a cat's sleeping habits and a bottomless pit where her stomach is supposed to be. Allegro is a comrade of Zozo's and I'm afraid I've had very little time to speak to him what with all that's been going on. Adol would be the third, and he seems quite capable and eager to get involved. I'm sure you could get some hard work out of him if need be.
no subject
Only a week at half ration? [It's less than she anticipates.] I will not fail you, Captain.
[There's the Nav as a last resort for emergency supplies, at least. She'll enforce the necessary rationing to stretch out provisions to cover the week, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for the possibility of running out before they reach land.
After a small pause, she cannot help but add:]
...Ragna has friends?
[Given that she's found him to be aggressively rude, it's difficult for her to imagine.]
no subject
[It's pretty clear Ragna didn't have much say in the matter. Taokaka does what Taokaka wants, and what she wants is generally eating, sleeping, and bothering "the good guy" to no end. If it weren't for the eating, Motochika wouldn't mind one bit.]
no subject
Tao was the instigator? She must have a thick hide.
[...]
Just how persistent is she?
[With befriending Ragna levels of persistence, managing the rate of food consumption may prove a bigger task than Xun Yu initially thought.]
no subject
[He's taken in enough kittens over the years to know it quite well himself. Her body may be human-like enough, but Tao is a cat through and through.]
She's quite attached to Ragna, though what brought that about we may never know.
no subject
Maybe he can keep her occupied.
[She's certain that if she gives Ragna the choice between keeping Tao in check and working with her, he'd choose Tao every time. A thought suddenly occurs to her.]
Captain... if she's both cat-like and a glutton, won't Pi-chan and the turkey potentially be in danger?
[Extended hunger makes for a bolder predator, after all. Having never met Tao, she can't be sure how deep those animalistic instincts run.]
no subject
[That's something they ought look into, come to think of it. Rise had billed herself as such and then disappeared within a week or two and they've had no one since who could do much more with their provisions than pass them out.]
I've been keeping my eye on her, though. Pi-chan knows to make a fuss if he's threatened, but that turkey is quite a dumb beast.
no subject
[Pi-chan she can understand, but that turkey... not that it's at all important to know. She shifts her weight, preparing to leave.]
Unless there is more that you wish to speak of, Captain, I think it's best I get to work. I have already caused enough delay.
no subject
[He's not answering that question about the turkey, either. They kept it partially because they had no idea how to even get it ready for cooking, let alone make anything out of it. Then by the time they'd put it in the pen, Motochika had already gotten to attached to it to let it go.]
