[When Abigail wakes up, she isn't afraid. She isn't even concerned. She knows that this isn't the room she's used to, but she knows, too, that it's sort of hers and she has a right to it. So she springs out of bed, inspects it from top to bottom, and then heads out to explore the Barge.]

[There's a confidence in her that might surprise those who know her well as an adult. She investigates everything as if it belongs to her, spending a while on the deck looking at the stars and (loudly, incorrectly) identifying constellations. When she's done there, she curls up in the library with a stack of books almost taller than her, some on space (since that seems to be today's theme), some on anatomy, and some science fiction books, because that's basically the same as space.]

[In the end she gravitates towards the kitchens, where she inexplicably feels the most comfortable. She stays through lunch shift and well into the afternoon, investigating, tidying, wiping down surfaces.]

[Soon enough, she has a question.]

I've been paying attention to the kitchens, [she says in a lofty voice, commanding attention in the way that only children often do.] And I need to know something.

Where does the food come from? It has to come from somewhere.

Excuse me, Admiral. I need to know where the food in the kitchens comes from, please.

[ She considers that a moment, chewing another cracker thoughtfully. ]

I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah. [Abigail warms to her topic.] Like what if he has to be at work all day? Or something like that.

Then the children will have food to eat and a home to sleep in. Is that not how it is meant to be?

But they'll be alone.

Aren't you sad?

I don't know. I have never known anything else.

Well, I've never known anything like that. It sounds scary to me.
heavenlymisandrist: (That's a needless fight)

[personal profile] heavenlymisandrist 2014-12-13 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I am not afraid. [ She doesn't even sound proud of this. ] No human can surpass my power. I cannot be harmed.

. . . Why can't I be powerful like that?

Because you're human.
