Ellie grinned and dove into the closet, eventually pulling out a Go board. "We used to play this sometimes," she said, "you place your pieces on the places where the lines on the board cross each other, and try to surround the enemy pieces which makes them die." There was also supposedly something about claiming territory, but she had never understood it so she always just focused on capturing pieces. It made more sense. "I think black goes first, so you be black. You can put a piece anywhere."

Starr tilted her head at the game then chuckled "I think I played this before, a long time ago." She said as she took the black stones to play on one corner "The dragons like a game like this."

Ellie placed a piece right in the center. "In which universe?" She asked, "Was it the princess who played, or you?"

"Me" Starr replied, placing a stone in another corner of the board

"Ooh ooh, you gotta tell me about where you learned it!" Ellie placed a stone right next to one of Starr's.

Starr chuckled and played her next piece, starting to tell Ellie about when she was on the dragon's planet where she had learned this game and how to take on the acid dragon and other dragon forms.

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold up there! There's a dragon planet?" Ellie asked. "I thought the Aurum had taken over all the dragon planets or something!"

"Not in this system." Starr said then sighed softly "I told you about the dragon planet before, didn't I? Right after we got free from capture the first time. Anyway, it's a planet in the Mimosa Empire, only dragons are there, though there are many different types of dragons. My name there is Amalthia Draco, and that is the name on Asher's owner files." She said then glanced over to Asher with a soft smile.

"Yeah maybe you did," Ellie said, thinking about that. "I definitely knew you chilled with a bunch of cool dragons, not sure I knew they were from the same planet." She smiled, "My memory stinks."

Overhearing the conversation, Asher smiled at Starr shyly. One of the many, many things she had done to protect him. She really was way too nice sometimes, especially when accommodating his risky and probably rather selfish rebellion against the Terran Empire.

"Are non-dragons allowed to visit?" Ellie asked. "I wanna see this planet!"

Maybe it was a good thing Ethan wasn't here, because he probably would have been disgusted by her interest in seeing more dragons.

"A whole planet of dragons? cool." Matt remarked.

[No more acid dragons!] Kay warned.

"oh come on, you hook up with ONE acid spitting dragon girl and all of a sudden it's all no acid dragons, stay away from acid dragons." Matt laughed.

Kay frowned. [Your track record isn't exactly reassuring.]

Matt laughed. "Well I got Thalia to stop me now haven't I?"

Kay looked skeptical.

Luka rolled the dice and got her mouse safely a few spaces from the trap. She shook her head. "I don't even want to ask about the logistics there."

"She was in humanoid form!" Matt protested.

--

Armin was sewing carefully in his room. He had a lot of work to catch up on, plus this gown for Starr.


--

The Swarm watched everyone from their positions scattered across the ship.

---

Esk had put his feet up on a coffee table in one of the rec rooms and was currently sort of snoozing sitting upright with his sketchbook beside him. Yeah he was still hungover. Matt seemed to have managed to avoid a hangover by sleeping underwater all night, but Esk's head still hurt and the coffee and painkillers only did so much. At least it was quiet here.

"They are wary of outsiders, especially after they learned what happened to my planet, but they were kind and kept me safe while I grew up." Starr said then chuckled at what Matt said. "Most of the dragon species can take human form, even if that is the only one they can take beyond their natural one."

"I wanna hear about the acid dragon sometime," James said. "That sounds like a good story."

"You can ask him about it sometime when the rest of us are somewhere else," Asher said with a smile. Call him prejudiced, but he didn't want to hear that story. Acid. Plus people. Eesh.
His mouse ended up on the trap space.

"That's so sweet how they took care of you," Ellie said to Starr. "Dragon families! Eeee!" She placed another stone near one of Starr's.

~~
Ethan happened upon Esk's rec room, and peered in curiously. Oh. Esk was in there. Sleeping or something. Maybe he should leave the guy alone; he actually liked Esk.

Matt snickered. "I'll tell you all about it sometimes James. Don't pay any attention to Kay, he totally exaggerates."

[I wasn't the one heavily sedated and on morphine! ]

"maaaan, Morphine is awesome." Matt grinned. "He's just jealous he missed out on the sweet sweet pain killers."

Kay face palmed. [And this is why he should never be left alone, if he doesn't end up arrested he ends up hospitalized.]

Matt grinned. "What can I say? I like to live life to the full."

[You're an idiot.]

"But i'm a happy idiot so it's all good." Matt cackled. "Can't blame em for being wary Starr, but it's nice they have a place to hang out and be safe. How many different draconic species are there anyway?"

---

Esk wasn't totally asleep, he opened one eye and decided that being awake wasn't a great thing and closed it again. "I'd move but i'm pretty sure getting up will be worse." He spoke flatly.

James snickered. "It sounds like quite a story. I look forward to hearing it."

Asher smiled humorously. "Well if it makes you happy, Matt, I suppose I'm happy for you."

~~
Ethan shrugged, "Don't move for my sake, I'm just exploring. He looked around the room curiously."

Esk didn't move and kept his eyes shut. "It's fine, just hungover. It's all Matt's fault. If you see him, tell him he's a dick and I hate him." It was rather hard to tell if Esk was joking or not.

"Hundreds, each with its own abilities, though most are easily mistaken for another." Starr said then shrugged a little. "Some even I did not know about like those tiny ones from Sara's world."

Ethan snorted. "I'll tell him if I see him. Not much of a fan of your family, are you?"

~~
James looked impressed. "Hundreds? That's really cool."

"you've met my family right?" Esk snickered, then winced. Yeah, that was a bad idea.

--

"Kinda like humanoids, the universe is full of really similar looking humanoids." Matt laughed.

"It's weird." Luka spoke up. "So many of them don't even look alien."

"Right? Which raises the question, why fear someone who looks just like you do?" Matt shrugged.

"Because they can do things we can't." Luka looked grim.

"I'm sure Satare can do their own stuff. I mean, let's face it, nobody does shooting people like Satare." Matt grinned oddly at her.

"you're mocking me aren't you?" Luka huffed.

Matt shook his head. "sorry. I get it, I mean, coming out into the universe and learning about all these other cultures is a big deal. There's some really scary shit out here, but also some really cool things too. And just because a race has a few assholes, doesn't mean that whole species are pricks. People are people and should be judged on their individual merits."

Luka frowned. "You're a very strange man."

Matt laughed. "I know."

[I think what he means is that you shouldn't feel guilty for being uncomfortable, it's a perfectly natural reaction to the unknown. We grew up together in a household full of magic and strangeness, it's our normal, but that doesn't mean it's yours. ] Kay tried to look reassuring.

"Yeah, and you're doing super well at not just screaming kill it and shooting us all in the face!" Matt laughed.

Luka frowned even more. "I don't think that's really something to joke about."

"Eh, joking about it makes it less horrible." Matt told her. "Still, you're doing good. We wouldn't hang out with you if you weren't a decent person." He shrugged.

Luka lowered her head. "thank you."

"No problem. And don't worry too much, at least around me, i'm not easy to offend." Matt grinned.

Skye looked over to them and smiled "Yeah, not shooting people just for being different is good." She agreed then looked back to the cards she was playing with.

Ethan looked amused. "Your Kaylr is somewhat tolerable, meaning he hasn't stabbed me with a scalpel yet. And I have no opinions on your Mattias because I haven't talked to him much. But I'll take your word that they're awful."

~~
Asher smiled softly at Luka. "It has to be pretty strange to be out here, surrounded by," he looked around the room, "Whatever we are." Winged creatures, cows, insects, robots, dragons, and various combinations thereof. Even the ship herself was a living being. That was pretty surreal when you thought about it too much. "It's okay to be a bit unnerved by that."

Ellie giggled. "At least these aliens are nice, right?" Yeah, she treated Luka as if Satare were humans too. Luka just seemed so much like her, it was amazing!

Esk smirked. "Nah, Kay doesn't tend to stab people. He just glares and looks pissy. If you're really lucky he throws and or breaks something. Suppose he's gotta compensate right? Small guy, big tantrums." He held his head and snickered. Ow ow ow. Worth it.

---

Luka nodded, like Ellie she found it rather easier to deal with the less alien folk and just forced herself to think of them like short Satare.

really... really short Satare.

She looked uncomfortable with all the attention, handing the dice to Moone. "it's your turn..." she tried to deflect everyone back to their games.

Throwing things. Yeesh. Could be much, much worse of course, but still. Throwing things was not good. "Reasons to avoid tiny men with creepy eyes," Ethan said wryly.

~~
Asher noted Luka's discomfort and turned his attention to Matt and Kay's game curious to see how they were doing.

Ellie air high fived at Luka and placed another stone.

Moone took the dice to make her move, landing just before the trap. She chuckled and handed the dice to the next player.

Ellie captured one of Starr's pieces. She had no grand strategy, she just tried to capture everything. "So does the princess have any cool stories from her past?" she asked curiously.
