Светлана Едгарова Назарова

[She's trying her best to sound her normal happy, perky self. But, obviously, with everything that's happened, she's failing a little at it. But she's trying and that's the important thing.]

When we were in port, the girl I was supposed to be had several books that she was required to read, but I had never even heard of. Some of them looked fascinating, though. I wish I could have brought them.

So what books did you have to read in school? I think I'm just now realizing how limited my selections are. [Which happens because she only reads trashy romance novels, but she won't admit that.]

[Sveta sounds, for the first time, well rested and mostly happy. Not the caffeine charged perky of the past coffee fueled night, either, which is a great improvement. She shuffles about a bit as she pushes the buttons and sighs once.]

What an impression that we've made on the new people here. I suppose it's one thing to want to introduce them all to what goes on here, but it's different to hit them so hard with it.

To all the people who are unsure of this place, I assure you that what's happened the past few weeks is...well, it's not unusual, but it doesn't happen all the time. We just have to go through it, like we always do.

And we do. Sometimes it's hard, and sometimes we don't always like the way that things come out, but we manage to make it through. And it doesn't look so bad after a while. We'll be okay. We have...each other through this. And I know, I know, there are people we don't want to rely on, but they're all going through exactly what we are.

[Sveta’s in her room, decorating a wreath with bows. Maybe there are too many on there. What of it? She’s slightly tipsy, as evidenced by the half full glass beside her, but it’s a good thing. It’s the kind of tipsy that brings about extra bows on a wreath.]

So many people in the Christmas, or holiday, spirit today. I’m not complaining about it but…hopefully it lasts! [No, she really doesn’t think it will. But it helps to be optimistic.] I think the Barge is starting to look nice. Maybe a bit over the top, but when have we known the Admiral to do anything subtle?

I always liked decorating for Christmas and New Year’s. My brother and I would work together on the tree. [She starts humming “Carol of the Bells.] What did you do? Anything traditional like that? Decorating a tree with a sibling? Going out at first frost?

[Private to Donny]
I had a strange thought earlier. You owe Clapet a bag of peas. Since it was him you actually stole from back at that camp. I know you don’t remember but…it was just a thought I had.

....how are you after port?
