As Harper questioned Daphne's skills and level of dedication, it took all of her strength not to reply curtly [i]you're correct, Harper. You do underestimate her.[/i] But pride in her sister wasn't appropriate in this moment. Her military training had taught her that. But thankfully, the Captain came to her sister's defense as well, and Dorothy smiled as she nodded in agreement. 

[color=4dffa6]"Daphne's full of surprises,"[/color] Dorothy agreed, not adding much else more. They didn't need to have yet [i]another[/i] tense situation on their hands. And it was true--her sister could be a bit impulsive and moody at times, but she was so young, Dorothy felt it would've been more concerning if Daphne [i]wasn't[/i] the way she was. She'd grow out of it eventually, but even if she didn't, Dorothy would love the kid nonetheless. 

Nodding at the Captain's orders, Dorothy hoped that Harper would recognize Anisa's growing irritation. They didn't need a repeat of what happened with Gene on their hands. [color=4dffa6]"I'll check in on her,"[/color] Dorothy nodded, rolling her eyes as Jahosafat bolted for the door, covering his mouth. She couldn't even bring herself to pity the man, and knew that there was a good chance she'd be treating him for alcohol poisoning later that day. 

Taking a few crackers and some of the preserves, Dorothy made herself a small little thing to eat, a bit curious as to what Harper wanted to talk to Anisa so desperately about. The man was definitely...[i]different[/i] than the rest of the Alliance members, though all of the ones on this ship seemed to be eccentrics, to say the very least. Once she had her fill, she fixed up some for Gene and Daphne. 

[color=4dffa6]"I'll be with my mei-mei if you need me, Cap,"[/color] Dorothy said, nodding farewell at Harper and Anisa, as she left the Galley the way she came. She retraced her steps and knocked twice on Genevieve's door. [color=4dffa6]"Gene, food's here,"[/color] Dorothy announced. She set down the food that she'd fixed up for Gene, so that way she could grab it whenever she was ready, before finally making her way to the bridge. 

[color=4dffa6]"Mei-mei, you hungry?"[/color] Dorothy asked, as a way of announcing her presence.
