[Elle sounds ever-so-slightly awkward, like she's confused about something.] Howie? I think... I think I remember some stuff. I mean, it's coming back. Can... can I talk to you?

[There's a big awkward pause here because she wants to say something to Peter but isn't sure what.]

That's it.


[ooc: THIS IS FAKE. She's only got a few of her memories back by this point.]

[He did actually feel bad,] I know, Elle, it's not supposed to... I know this is a lot like places you've been in the past. But I can't let up on murder, especially when it's not even of someone on board. That man's permanently dead, you have to do some kind of penance for that.

[He pauses] Tomorrow morning. You'll be on cleaning duty for an extra day, but tomorrow morning.

[She clenched her jaw. A day early was better than on time, she supposed. It still sucked.] "I've been here almost two weeks out of the month already. Please?"

"Because you killed two people, Elle, that's why." [He sighed,] "I will come early, but I can't let you out now. It's unfair to the person you've killed."

[It would be different if it was a murder on the Barge, but Howie was taking this more personally than his own murder.]

[Elle sagged against the bars.] "Okay. Fine. Whatever."

"Alright, Elle." [He paused and had a look around the cell,] "Did you pick it up by reading back or... talking to someone, or what? Just curious for future reference."

"I dunno, it just started coming back." [She shrugged.]

"Out of nowhere? Did you at least try reading some things, like I suggested?" [At least, he thought he'd suggested this.]

"Like, one or two things. I didn't read all that much."

"Then try reading a little more. It might seriously help, in terms of remembering things." [He gave her a slight smile,] "I...I'll be back tomorrow morning, and will want to talk first thing Monday."

"Fine." [She didn't return the smile.]
