What goes around comes around

The British Empire never fell. Steam powered technology continued to advance. Zeppelins won out over airplanes. Mutants are considered second-class citizens by the empire and many resort to piracy to survive. These mutant pirates are hunted not only by the military, but also by a zealous religious order known as The Purifiers.

She frowned.

"...I can go, then."

"That's not what I meant..." she mumbles. "I didn't use to feel... guilty about waking up in some strange bed!"

"Because you ran into me and since then everything's just..." she throws her arms up in frustration. "Why do you think I got black-out drunk last night."

She just lets out an annoyed grunt and heads for the window.

She sighed, shaking her head, and got out of the sphinx's way.

For the time being, she simply sat down.

She would be waiting for a while. In fact, Nailah didn't come back to the mysterious bedroom at all.

Though a couple days later a figure could be seen following the Emerald Raven and slowly catching up. And, hoping not to be shot at, aims to land on deck of the ship. There's no cocky smile on her face this time, instead looking guilty and a little sheepish.

The Morrigan stepped out onto the deck, looking their visitor over.

"I waited, you know."

"I got that impression."

"Given that you've come in via the front door for once, do you want to go below deck?"

"I know!" she sighs herself. "Look I... this is scary, okay? You ruined going around and having fun for me! I figured maybe if I got drunk enough you'd stop bugging me in the back of my head and look how that worked out..."

"No, of course not. I mean... just... Why does that have to be when I'm having fun? Or trying to anyway! Or when I wake up in some strange bedroom. I never felt guilty about that."

"Yeah well now it's happened anyway, it seems. And it's not that I don't want to have fun with you! I just... I didn't plan for this or anything, okay? In fact I tried to fight it, but I mean I had to at least find out why it could happen right? Guess now I know..."

"I'm not saying you are!" she says, exasperated.

She stops pacing around and deflates a little. "I'm not angry at you, okay? I'm... angry at myself because I don't know what the hell I want."
