Lucian collected a few more sheets of paper, beginning to rewrite the report. He had plenty of time. He heard voices saying they would be docking soon, but he only ever went ashore to get more medical supplies, or had someone else fetch it for him instead.
Just to distract her from her pain, he kept blathering, "Yep! I love the city. Dazzling. I can't wait to get there and visit the taverns. It's going to be amazing. Have you ever been to Cielo?"
Morrigan nodded. “Once.”, she said quietly, trying to muster her usual toughness. She clenched her arm tighter. “You?”
Kameo descended into the bottom of the ship, finding his lab. He got to work, finishing a concoction he'd started, making a new one, pouring old poisons into the trash. The various bombs he'd been working on for the ship's cannons held a fun surprise, with acid filled into each one and he'd tampered with the chemicals to make the explosion larger.
(Did I mention that Kameo's a complete science nerd?)
"Nope," he replied, "If you'll believe it, I have extremely limited life experience. It's going to be an adventure for me."
"Seriously, whose going on shore? I need to restock while we're here!"
(Oh I'm so sorry, @NessTheMonster, I didn't ask if Kameo could have a lab! If you say no, I'll delete the post)

Lucian eventually finished the report without fault, and he smiled, pleased with it. He tucked it away into a file and went to the main deck for a bit of fresh air. He wasn’t seen much above deck, he was usually too busy with his reports or different surgeries.
"Docking in twenty minutes." Leah called out, walking past Daso and Morrigan, towards the edge of the boat. She leaned over the side and looked towards the sector of Cielo.
( It's totally fine! Add whatever you'd like! )
"Nope," he replied, "If you'll believe it, I have extremely limited life experience. It's going to be an adventure for me."
“An adventure. Fun!” Her tone was forced and she was clearly in pain, not like the countless other times she’d cut herself. Something this time was different.
Daso eyed her worriedly. Clearly his antics weren't helping. He'd probably regret asking, but he said, "Hey, you alright?"
The lab was Kameo's pride and joy, no one, except the Captain, was allowed inside. Kameo grabbed a bunch of vials and stuffed them into his coat before heading back up with a ridiculous smile on his face. "Captain! My batch of poison's ready!" he cradled the small glass vial, filled with a color-changing liquid.

“Morrigan!” Lucian called as he watched her, his arms folded across his chest.
Morrigan wanted to slap herself for being so stupid. She had never expressed any emotion after cutting herself, the stupid picture was messing everything up. Stupid father, stupid riddle. Stupid Morrigan. “I’m fine.
Just tired.”, she lied.
"Poisons?" Leah raised a brow, intrigued. She held one gingerly, it's color matching the jade green shade of her eyes.
“Morrigan!” Lucian called as he watched her, his arms folded across his chest.
Her head turned and she had to wipe the stupid smile off her face. “Lucian!” Why was he so goddamn attractive?
"Yes, the one I was telling you about!" Kameo watched as the liquid turned bright blue, like his right eye, "The effects are so cool! I tampered with the chemical resolution myself!'
Just what Dara used to say, ran through Daso's mind. He winced at the thought of his twin but disguised it with a smile. "I'd say you need your beauty rest, but it's hardly necessary. You're still an angel," he teased, hoping that his compliments would cheer her.
"Amazing. . ." Leah said softly, turning it around as it shifted colors. "What can it do?"
The compliments amused her, cheered her up a bit, but she was struggling to keep her eyes off Lucian. “Thanks, Daso. You too.”
Feeling extremely ignored, Joanna marched back down to the galley, Mumbling to herself. "Fine, they clearly don't care if they starve."

Lucian motioned with his finger for Morrigan to come over, doing his best to look more professional than he really felt.
Kameo pulled another one out, "When someone touches it, the poison adheres itself to the person's skin, moving through the pores and attacking the veins and arteries, ridding the organism of its blood in mere seconds." he sloshed the liquid around, "But it's harmless to things that aren't alive."
Lucian motioned with his finger for Morrigan to come over, doing his best to look more professional than he really felt.
Morrigan ignored how her pulse sped up, walking over to him after excising herself to Daso, shooting him a grateful smile. “So?”, she asked Lucian, tugging her right sleeve down.
Leah nodded slowly, and looked up at Kameo, with an impressed expression. "No wonder you're one of my best men. . . with a mind like that." She said, smiling. "I only want you to carry them and only use them if you need to."
"Of course, Captain, wouldn't dream of letting someone else use them." Kameo winked at her, "Unless it was you." he blew a kiss and took the vial out of her hands before tucking the poisons back into his coat.

“Do you want to show me your arm?” Lucian questioned, but he already knew there was a gash on it.
Morrigan added another cut to her leg to her schedule as a punishment for her idiocy, but she gave him a fake smile. “Why don’t we go to your office.” She wasn’t going to do it here, where everyone could see. Stupid Morrigan.
"Of course." Leah replied while laughing. "Well, get ready. We're docking in ten minutes." She turned towards the sea and watched as the sector's gleaming buildings broke through the morning fog.

Lucian sighed and nodded, leading Morrigan into his office and shutting the door behind them. He motioned for her to sit in a chair, and sat in the one across from her. “Well?”
