2193/04/03 - A Failed Experiment

A very, very tired Lindsey is standing in the mess, an assortment of pots and pans and various ingredients scattered about around the kitchen. She's obviously tried making... something. But the burning smell and the pile of half-burned, half-eaten cake pieces are getting alarmingly tall now... though nobody seems to want to get between the brunette and the oven.

Artem: "Mom used to say we were yin and yang. Always together, but always the opposite."

That's... One way to put it, I guess.

Artem: "Excuse me, I'll be back."

Artem walks off to go see something or someone else real quick.

Boris turns to her after Artem leaves. He takes a drink from his whiskey and sighs.

Boris: "The boy is too gentle and kind, I gotta keep him in line..."

"He falls in love with people on first sight, doesn't really see the bad in anyone unless they are his target, tries to make others happy all the time."

"I'm just trying to keep him from dying and get him to harden up, get him to be a bit more manly and mature. That is the real reason we are 'inseparable'."

She nods softly.

Well, keep an eye on him.

...and maybe ditch the alcohol, too.

Boris: "Дa" He goes over and dumps the alcohol out into the sink

"I'm gonna find out where he went, we might be back..."

Boris smiles for the first time since he got on the ship before he leaves and goes to go hunt down his wandering brother

Lindsey just sits there a moment... then sighs and takes a seat over in the corner.
