I would like to apologize- [He stops, because he sounds sarcastic. It's like a natural reflex. He continues on more normally.] I would sincerely like to apologize to Hayley Stark for dosing her with a highly unpleasant fear toxin last July, according to the calendar that the Admiral has inflicted on us. It was unwarranted in her case.

[Added later: Crane sounds exasperated.] And in the case of anyone else who was affected at the time.

[Added even later: Crane's getting used to it.] Including people who were directly killed as a result of it, otherwise indirectly impacted or generally traumatized by the experience. At the time I clearly needed to work out who was deserving of what.

"He has some anger issues, yeah.. That name thing is like, freakishly common around here." [She was referring to only having one name. Arthur didn't have a last that she could recall. Then there were Loki, Merlin, and others.]

[To the question about getting caught, she shrugged uncomfortably and took a sip of her coffee.] "Honestly? I got a little freaked out by the blood. I called Capa to help me take care of it.. and he did. We got in a fight about it and he took away my filters for a little while, but.." [She shrugged.] "That was it. Franklin told him not to blame me."

[Her tone was slightly more sadistic and amused by the end. After all, she had effectively killed someone and gotten away with it and still had every part of her arsenal intact. She took another sip.] "Oh! That reminds me. I want another vial of the toxin, since you used the one I gave you not on yourself."

Anger issues. [Crane laughed at that, rather bitterly.] I'll say. He's the first person on the barge that I've seriously encountered who'd be willing to beat you to death just because you happened to say the wrong thing.

[Crane trailed off. He didn't particularly like talking about Dawsey. He didn't particularly like thinking about Dawsey. In any case, Hayley's story was far more interesting that the Dawsey situation. The fact that Capa had been prepared to take away a body had not been what Crane was expecting.] It sounds as if that whole situation resolved itself adequately, even if the actions of all the parties were surprising.

[Crane looked at Hayley at the mention of the toxin and frowned. He honestly didn't have any of it available and no way of making it in the foreseeable future.] I don't have any, Hayley. Not even for myself. They were confiscated.

"That's not fair! There have to be like, at least four." [She smiled at him, trying to show she was joking and left it at that.]

[She shrugged about the incident with Franklin. Of course it could have been worse, but she still had trouble with how much blood there was and just how angry Capa had been; it was an unpleasant memory. In response, she only sipped at her coffee.

When he gave her an out by talking about the fear toxin, she jumped on it.] "By who?"
