Krystal knows that Balus is a warrior but when faced with him ripping off the head of a Tarloc it makes her sick to her stomach. She worries that he explains the reason yet does not understand that this is not what bugs her. "I am sorry, the propaganda is just so, so sickening."

"Skills?" The Captain looks back to the XO and smiles. "What skills do you have? Can any of them stop a Plasma round?"
(Balus and Krystal)
You arrive at the walkway to Krystal's new apartment - the sign reads "Parade Arms - proud to house our brave men and women!"

Krystal still unnerved by what she saw and realizing Balus has yet to really maker her feel better about it. At least she is at the place that is to be her apartment. She tries to open the door to see what it looks like inside, realizing now that her stuff may have to stay on the ship as they are only here for resupply which means she will have to do it the old fashioned way of actually using the sun which means early rising again. Trying to stay positive despite what she saw she finally speaks for the first time since seeing the sign. "Well I guess we are here then!"

"No sir, I can only stop a plasma round once. However with my training in Talitsu, I may be able to avoid them."

Balus knew something was wrong," Krystal, what is it? You've seemed off since... it's that stupid propaganda stuff, isn't it? Look, I've never done what they show, okay? I'm not a monster working for the good guys." he said softly, worried.

Krystal tries to feel better after what he said, it does make her feel better, but she does wish her potential BF was not plastered on the side of a billboard and made to look like a killer. "OK, I believe you. It was just that you went super silent in the cab after what had observed. I am sorry I probably should have been more vocal but I was not sure what to make of it." With that she opens the door to her place to see what it looks like inside.

" I was quiet so I could keep in I wanted to be sick." Balus replied honestly. Yes, I'm a soldier, and I have killed Tarloks, but I didn't like it. In fact the first time was what Slycer was making fun of me about. I nearly did puke inside my helmet after my adrenaline dropped. It was actually an accident. I..., " he stopped and looked at Krystal," why am I telling you this? I can see you're already scared of me. I'm only gonna make things worse. Maybe I better go." He said regrettfully as he started to back away.

(Fuse, Upho and John Rosman)
The captain turns away from Upho. "I'll be the judge of that, soldier." He looks at Fuse. "Who's next on the list Lieutenant?" The list reads for one Lt. John Rosman.
(Balus and Krystal)
The apartment is a well laid out flat with a kitchenette, full washroom, bed room, and small living area. Because you are on the top floor, a sunroof is also present. The main living area is where a wide panoramic view of the Gardens can be seen through the window.

"No Balus please do not go." As she reaches over and grabs on to his way bigger arm. "I would like for you to see this, and I did not know how you felt. I guess the military takes advantage of whatever they can. I apologize if I overreacted as I would love to meet your parents!" She says as she opens the door to her place!
Krystal's former unhappiness all seems to dissipate when she sees the apartment. It is not as big as anything Richol would have had for the two of them but then again that was her growing up so it could of been the size of her instead of the apartment. Or it could have been any number of factors. Either way she has her own place now, even unfurnished as it is.
(OOC - Missed Balus post so added to this one.)

Balus had made two steps when Krystal stopped him. He looked down at Krystal's hand, then nodded," Allright, I'll stay," he said with a smile. As she checked out her new apartment, Balus spent more time out Krystal's reaction. To him it was small, but he had grown up in a large house. even the place he had been hidden away during the Tarlok invasion dwarfed the apartment, but he kept it to himself. " Well, you won't need alot of furniture. but maybe we can get you a hover truck to land on the roof to unload. I'll check with mom, we might be able to get you some furniture fairly easy."

"Really! That would be awesome. So that means seeing I know nothing about your family and such, what is it they do? If you do not mind me asking, but I am assuming that since you did want me to meet them I should porbably know a little about them to continue on."

" Uh, well Dad is a politician here in the city. Just a councilor, but that's all he wants anyways. and Mom, well, you know those cheesy daytime soap operas? Mom plays one of the nurses in the one set around a hospital. Used to be a main character, but she scaled it back to a secondary since the war. That and us kids were getting old enough to watch." He chuckled.

"Oh your dad is a politician. Are you sure they are going to meet a lowly mechanic with their son. I mean I could be under appraising myself but I am not sure. I mean like I said I am only a lowly mechanic at best." She decides that she is not helping her case so switches the subject. "I should visit Richol as well, I mean he has all my money so I can possibly make purchase of some stuff."

" Trust me. The fact that their freak son brought home a girl to meet that doesn't have tentacles for feet or looks like a rock with teeth will make them estatic." Balus chuckled. " I'm willing to bet I can get you furniture cheap, but call Richol. We can stop by if you want."

"Oh that would make me soo happy. Why do we not go meet your parents and I can call Richol quickly now. I mean he not wanting me to be worried left me a means of calling him when I need as he is still my legal guardian. Just give me one moment and we can head there."
Krystal is mildly worried that his parents might be a little prejudiced by his description which does worry her and actually makes her self concious considering her hair and eyes are not normal either. Still she has more things on her mind then to worry about that. She picks up the comm unit and calls Richol. "Hello Richol. I love the apartment but I don't seem to have any funiture at all, and seeing you have all my money if there was a way I could get some to purchase some stuff for it?"
After he responds she will turn to Balus "OK we can go now if you want but will probably have to make a quick stop at Richol's so I can change into something better then my mechanics outfit. I am afraid I might not have anything that meets what your parents would expect a female to wear!"
