[Vesper is not affected, but she has definitely been keeping to herself since a certain someone left without prior warning. They've tried to keep their relationship quiet for the most part, and she's not interested in letting on that it bothers her - even though it obviously does - so she appears just as well put together as ever when she clicks on the video feed.]

For anyone interested, I'm staying on as a warden for a while longer, [Because she really has no fucking clue what she's supposed to do when she goes home, and was sort of hoping she'd have Bond to talk stuff over with before that happened, but.] and I've been considering finding a more productive way to fill my day than sitting around twiddling my thumbs waiting to be repaired.

I'm afraid I can't offer anything that exciting - [It sometimes seems like she's one of the only people on board whose boring, normal job really isn't a cover for being a superhero or a spy or an assassin or god knows what else.] but I know some people have expressed an interest on catching up on any schooling they've missed, and I've always been fairly handy with mathematics. I'd be happy to arrange private lessons or organize a larger group to discuss it. If anyone's interested in economics or financial planning to help prepare for life after the Barge, I'd be more than happy to arrange meeting about that, too.

Obviously it's going to be a bit tailored to what I consider modern Earth standards, but I can try to assist anyone with a more exotic point of origin, if they're willing to be patient with me.

I'd also be interested in continuing self defense lessons, but as my former teacher's returned home for at least the time being, I'm on the market for a new one. My schedule's quite flexible.

[Private to the Admiral]

I'd like to request some high school level math books. From Earth, please, if it's not too much trouble.

I'd appreciate that. What do you specialize in?

I had out of towners teach me a lot. So basically a combination of stuff that ends in "disable the enemy in the quickest, most efficient way possible".

That sounds perfect. When would you like to get started?

Whenever you were up for it. Who was teaching you before?

Slade and [There's a fraction of a second where she almost says James, but catches herself.] Bond.

I think I knew Slade well enough that if you tell me where he left off, I'll do my best to follow up. [Being a stunted romantic himself, he won't push about that pause.]

Excellent. Does tomorrow afternoon work for you?

I'd be happy to.

Thank you. I appreciate it.
