[color=23D5B7]"What sort of monster do you take me for?"[/color] Beatrice whispered back. [color=23D5B7]"A Care Bear?"[/color] she then added softly. Beatrice glanced over as some newcomers entered the room, a bit confused to see that one of them was armed. As far as she knew, this operation didn't let any newcomer carry weapons - not even those that had been in the military since otherwise, Ash would have been armed. However, as the woman opened her mouth and Beatrice caught her face, it all made sense. Her interview that had been more or less an opinion session on Thana Martin? That was because she wasn't dead. She just sort of stared at the woman, not outwardly reacting - that wasn't her style. A part of her was frustrated that these people here had let them believe Thana was truly dead - that it had all been a lie. Sure, they weren't owed the truth but that had been cruel. The exchanges relating to Ash and his success in terms of bedding Thana were more or less expected - some of these people were really crude, so Beatrice elected to ignore it. She was still just staring at the woman. A part of her was angry that this had been kept from them - that they had been made to play this charade. Another portion of her wanted to know if Thana had abandoned them to go join up with her family in Mexico Beach. This wasn't the time for an inquisition though. She could ask Thana later what had happened - but the past was in the past. She moved over towards Thana, waiting for the others to more or less have their moment with her, before Beatrice just wordlessly extended her hand and nodded slightly at her.

He let her tug his arm and lead him away from Ash to give the man his space, hoping that it was the right call. The downside to the current sleeping arrangements was that if Ash needed someone to talk to at night, he only had one option for it - Jack couldn't help but imagined Ash being paired up with Tatiana could have helped him some during the night. Of course, he wasn't sure how he himself would have felt about that hypothetical situation. However, a few moments later and he understood [i]why[/i] Tatiana had been certain that Ash was okay. The stranger that came in armed, seemingly a breach in the rules they had followed so far? She was [i]Thana[/i]. Jack barely knew the woman, having just seen her briefly at his wedding and then all hell broke loose. Despite Thana being a lead in Newnan, she hadn't been around very long - just briefly. In his mind, she had more or less just passed on through, though the mark she had left on Ash's heart was palpable. He smiled slightly, glad that his best friend had the love of his life back. He hadn't expected Thana to turn up, especially after their experiences here but - maybe miracles still happened. Ash looked almost proud of himself as well and Jack rolled his eyes slightly as Ash announced that there was an officer on deck - it was cheesy. (Oh god, was that how he sounded around Tatiana? Was he just as cheesy?) The middle finger was a nice touch.
