[Lucy has decided to take a break from Diva's party and is hanging out on the Plane in this dress that Diva gave her. she's got a glass of wine in hand and a somewhat longing expression on her face as she looks at the stars surrounding her, humming a waltz quietly under her breath]

Is that so? [she's quite interested in this, Dietrich]

No, it isn't. [smiles] But it seems you realise that, so there's no sense in wasting energy on it, is it?

Ah, well, my parents died when I was very young, so I was an orphan traveling between churches for a while. But when I was seven I met the two people that became like my second, and I guess third, fathers. So I joined the paramilitaristic organization that they headed and rose through the ranks quickly because...Well, it sounds very arrogant to say it, but my intelligence. I created many things for them that were quite useful.

I'm not really one for fighting, so I mostly stay at headquarters and do research or look over the members of the Orden.

I see. [smiles] That's quite the accomplishment, then. It seems to me you're wasting your talent sitting in some stuffy headquarters, though. You should be out among the people, making a difference.

Ah, I do, on occasion. In fact, I am right now. I'm accompanying one of the lower ranked members to the Methuselah empire so that he can speak with them about a misunderstanding that seems to have taken place recently. But...to be honest, I'm not much of a people-person. I prefer working with machines and books, in some ways.

Being among people ... I can't think of much else I prefer. It's been such a long time since I had that spotlight, however. What can machines possibly give you?

I suppose I prefer the comfort of logic. If something doesn't work or do what it wants you to, it's an easy thing to fix on a machine. With people...ah, not as much.

[oh, she knows] I can see your point, yes.

So I like people well enough, of course, but if I had the choice, I would pick machines. Ah, besides, I get shy sometimes when it comes to new people.

How quaint. [smiles] I'm pleased to see you aren't shy around me, then.

{Rubbing his head slightly with a gentle laugh} I guess not. I figured it wouldn't do to be shy here. But...I suppose it's not often I approach people myself either way.

Well! It's a pleasure that you've done so with me, then.

Ah, well, the pleasure is all mine, really. I just hope that I'm not too boring to speak with. {Which he laughs gently for}

Oh, not at all! It's quite fun, really.
