Q

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot was feeling pretty... uneven, about literally everything on this ship. He'd made a friend in Winter, which was lovely, and assumed that John was on his side as well, considering he'd been the one to bring him here. And Guy... well, whatever that was. Eliot really had thought that his smartest move was to get on the captain's very good side, but despite feeling like the man had been undressing him with his eyes, it had ended with... report to the quartermaster. He'd thought it best not to ask what that entailed. To just do what he was told.

So he dutifully showed up in the workroom. Looked around. "Ah, I'm looking for the quartermaster."

"I think that's lovely," Eliot said, his voice a bit quiet, maybe even wistful.

"Thank you, you're kind to say," Q smiled. "Do you have a love back home, Eliot? Someone you miss?"

[eliot_thespectacular]

"No," said Eliot, quickly... perhaps weirdly quickly. "I mean... no, there's no one." Really no one.

[bibbidi_bobbidi_boffin]

Q raised a brow, but let it be. Eliot was under no obligation to share with him after all.

"Well, maybe you'll meet someone at sea," he suggested.

[eliot_thespectacular]

"Maybe," Eliot said, though he sounded doubtful. He'd settle for a good fuck or two, though. He teased, "Well feel free to put in a good word to your favorites, hmm."

"You might get along well with Guy," Q said seriously. "He's charming, clever. I have always enjoyed his company."

[eliot_thespectacular]

Eliot smiled. "Ah yes, we've met. You're right, we are ah, cut from a similar cloth I think."

Q laughed a bit, but offered a warm smile. "This ship could use more people like that,I think."
