R50 - Now my song's on the radio

This is Richard B Riddick calling out from the barge. Anyone interesting out there?

[He's feigning casual, but last year he was able to talk to Fry and Kyra and that wasn't a small deal for him.]

We started out trying to kill each other. [Who has two thumbs and isn't going to out Arthas to his family?]

[onceaprincess]

But you're friends now, to the point that you're staying in that place to wait for him. I don't understand what the complication is. Unless it's about his stubborn refusal to try and leave.

[Because she's ready to smack her head into a wall from arguing with Arthas about it.]

[with_my_teacup]

Nevermind, then. Consider it a complication sorted out.

And yeah, I'm waiting.

[onceaprincess]

I suppose I don't really have the time to convince you to tell me, so all right then.

Anyway, I'm glad he has someone over there still to believe in him. Thank you for that, Mr. Riddick.

[with_my_teacup]

...Just Riddick. I'm not good with cute addresses.

Nice to meet you.

[onceaprincess]

I was aiming for polite over cute, but as you like, Riddick.

So is there anything you can tell me about him that isn't a big secret? Please?

[with_my_teacup]

He's never going to forgive himself. Probably he shouldn't, considering. He has to understand that it's not him who gets to choose.

He can get out of here. He will, one day.

He resurrected my dead dog for me. It meant a lot.

Dead is part of who he is now. He can't change it easily. I don't think he has to. I don't mind him dead.

[onceaprincess]

You're right. It isn't up to him.

[It's so much to take in, but it isn't a bad thing. Her brother is better.]

Thank you, Riddick. This was... I'm happy he's doing all right.
