I don't know if you are a person who finds comfort in embraces. But if there is ever a need, and your people who would aren't around...

Cloak is good with hugs. Is what I'm saying. I can always ask it for you.

( yes. she can ask stephen strange's magical cloak to offer a hug, probably, because she has it on personal authority that while it does tend to freakily pick you up off the ground, it also manages to do a surprisingly compelling embrace.

and it can't talk, is not inclined to judge, and cannot, in any way she can determine, manipulate emotions. it's just a rather nice cloak. )

[It takes him a very long time to realize that she's referring to the "flying cloak" that had been one of the hot contenders in the most eligible bachelor's contest from a while back, and when he realizes he lets out a loud laugh.]

Is that so? I can't say I've ever embraced a sentient piece of cloth before, I have to admit I'm skeptical.

Only one way to find out!

( since testimony from her isn't enough. besides, it's really weirdly blanket wrapped levels of comfort! if blankets also floated. )

Or you could ask Stephen. Not sure he'll be honest, but I bet he knows too.

( ... she hopes he asks. the idea amuses her, even if it would likely out why she'd asked Cloak to visit on mission return, and not you know. anyone else. )

Perhaps before that, I might learn the identity of the one making the recommendation, hmm? How do I know you're not my sworn enemy attempting to trick me? Maybe the cloak is cursed. Or maybe it is very itchy. [He doesn't have a sworn enemy and he's seen this username around before, but he's in the mood to tease, so.]

( it takes her a long, long moment staring at the words she sees to decide what the tone might be. weighing what she knows (not so much) and what she doesn't (there are buckets fuller than her knowledge of fellow crew mates here). she ends up deciding this falls toward "looks like he's feeling a bit better." so... maybe humour? )

Guess you're going to have to trust me. Viveca thinks that's important for people here to do, trust each other. Or else bathe yourself and Cloak, that way you can avoid the itchy concerns. Does wonders for a mood, feeling clean.

Can't help you with the cursed concern, you'll have to gamble on that one. Though my experience with curses is they make themselves more obvious than Cloak does.

Or, and here's a wild idea, in order to settle my doubts you can tell me your name? I'm afraid my, ah, very public experiences earlier have given you an advantage. You know who I am, but I don't know you.

But just to be very fair, my name is Wei Wuxian. Now you know my face and my name.

( really this form of writing is brilliant in its ease, but as she takes this, also a certain kind of impersonal until the names used here are paired with the people walking around the station. which she largely... hasn't done. )

I'm Ciri. Nice to more officially meet you.

( a further pause, and because he did give a full name: )

Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, in full.

( sliding past the princess title, or the technicality of being the heir to a conquered kingdom, where her "name" on network comes from. )
