Snippet #2467638

One of the mechanics approached Jin with a woman who seemed about his age but carried herself as that of someone who was raised in high society. "Pilot of the Slaughter Dagger, here is the Head Mechanic, Ensign Durrans." the man said giving a former introduction, next the man added whispering, "Her full name is Bibiana Armine Durrans. She's the eldest daughter of and eventual successor to Duke Adelias Durrans of Lexcorvi. As you know, Dukes and Duchesses often act as advisors to the royal court. Anyway, whatever you do, don't refer to her by any titles referring to a noblewoman. She gets a bit touchy about her status. If not refer to her by her military rank, just call her 'Bibi', and you'll be fine." this shocked Jin at first, not because he couldn't tell she was of an important lineage but that she disdained being referred to by her noble title's. With one eye brow raised Jin offered a salute to the woman as the man walked off to go talk to a younger looking male pilot.

Bibi glared at Jin while saying, "So, you're the guy who's been doing my job when it comes to my mechanics division on this ship!" she began to lecture as if she had prepared a speech. "Doing you're Job? No" Jin tried to begin to explain but the woman just continued to lecture him. "I am familiar with that model, by the way! I kind of have to be! I'm the one who laid the schematics for the prototype and helped build it, too!" "And i am indebted to you for that, its a wonderful piece of machinery but due to the severity of the situation at the time..." again Jin was cut off from talking as Bibi finished her rant "Next time, just request the switch to the mode of your choice, and I'll take it from there, all right?" "Uhmm sure" Jin said knowing that was the answer she required, and finally content Bibi turned around and began walking away. Jin opened his mouth to inquire about Admiral Zane space on the ship but before he uttered a word Bibi answered him assuring she would have a space for him available on the titan.

Slightly ah struck as he stood in silence and watched the well figured woman walk away to the young man the mechanic was previously talking to. "She's quite a piece of work" Jin said to himself with a slight smile as he watched Bibi walk away.

While eyeing Bibi from the spot she left him in the King came up to Jin saying, "Bibi is often like that. You get used to it, after a time." Jin was surprised and slightly star struck to see the king and Queen standing right beside him although Jin didn't care much for titles, most of his life he had only seen pictures and heard recordings of them from the streets he lived off of. Saul then said to his wife with a soft smile, "Oh! I almost forgot that you had something to say to this young man. I better check on Scoar and tell Viki of the results of the battle." and with that he walked away.

"Queen Karen, you have something to speak to me about?" Jin wast expecting this and was hoping to not receive a royal chewing out, although it would just add to his collection of the day.
