((No no, don't apologize! Your track record with replies is much better than mine, trust me. I do wanna get this thing goin' steady, though, so I'll try to be better. )) He returned the toast and smiled. "Seems to me that it more than works. I mean, can Lightyear say he's gotten to Level Ten in the training room? Last time I checked, he trains on Level Nine." He took another sip, then, "So, are you guys, like, born knowing to ghost? Or do you have to work at it?" He was genuinely curious, not, he reminded himself, just trying to make more conversation with Mira. Nova. Call her Nova, dummy. "Mira" smacks of a camaderie that you don't have, so watch it, buddy. He frowned. Why did the voice in his head sound like Lightyear?

((D’awww, thanks. Yay!))
“Yeah, I got him beat,” Mira grinned proudly before another sip.
She frowned thoughtfully—nobody had ever asked her something like that before. “Well… it’s natural, yes, but… it’s like walking. When you hit a certain age—when you’re still a baby, I mean—you know that you can walk, but you still got to practice it…” She flushed sheepishly. “I guess that’s a yes to both.” She ducked her head, hoping he wouldn’t notice the fact that she was still blushing a bit.

As he digested her reply, he couldn't help but observe that her cheeks were a little darker than usual. Cute.
"No, I get it," he finally responded. "It's just part of who you are, but you gotta develop it."

“Yeah,” she smiled, still sheepish. Then she rolled her eyes at herself. “Good grief, listen to me—I can’t explain… ohhh, my father would have a fit. Or lecture me.”
Mira drew herself up and pulled a snobby face. “Mira, darling,” she said in a near-perfect imitation of King Nova, “you are a Tangean Royal—you must learn to behave like one. How you ever expect to rule Tangea in such a fashion is quite beyond me.”
She quickly dropped the act and scowled good-naturedly. “Phooey, I say.”

((Sky, sorry for the late reply - I had a really cruddy past few days, heh.))
He started to laugh, then asked (seriously), "You don't wanna be Queen? Did I hear that right?"
Or maybe, the little voice in his head whispered, you heard just fine, and you're just hoping that she doesn't.

((D’awww! It’s okay! *hugs* Happy Thanksgiving!))
Mira grinned. “That’s not what I said, but it’s true. And old news ‘round here.” She winked.

((Happy belated Thanksgiving to you too!))
He was a little annoyed with himself that he hadn't known that interesting little fact. Of course, it wasn't like he really talked to many people at Star Command yet, but... dang.
He cocked his head slightly to the side as he said, "Does your dad know about that? From what I know of him, he won't take it very well."
((Question, Sky: is Mira still interested in Romac here, or are they just friends? I'd prefer the latter, but it's your call.))

((Ha-ha, thanks! ;D))
Mira cocked her own head, working out how to word her thoughts. “Oh, he knows, deep down. Now, him acknowledging that… ehhh, that’s a different story. Anyway,” she shrugged, “it doesn’t matter. I mean, I have to be Queen whether I like it or not—Tangean law doesn’t allow abdications to any relation further than a sibling or a child, and I don’t have either.” She screwed up her face ruefully. “So much for that one.”
((Oh, and no: Mira and Romac “broke up”…I roleplay Romac/Mira on another site, and it’s fun, but that’s enough for me. My opinions on the matter are still pretty much unchanged. ^^))
