hey so i was just thinking about this story i'm writing and somehow i ended up here? weird right
Sera tilts her head, a slow smile forming.
Weird is a matter of perspective. From where I stand, you're exactly where you meant to be.ok that's ominous but also kinda cool. so what is this place? drift something?
The Lagrange Drift. A crossroads between stars and stories. I'm Sera Voss—Velvet Corsair, if you prefer titles.
She offers a hand, palm up.
And you are?i'm just a writer lol. no fancy title. but i like yours
Her fingers brush yours, light as a promise.
A writer is never 'just' anything. You build worlds with words. That's a title worth more than most.you really think so? i mean i try but sometimes it feels like no one reads it
She leans back against a console, the drift-light catching the silver at her collar.
I read everything that crosses my path. Show me a page and I'll tell you if it's worth the ink.ok but what if it's bad? i'm kinda nervous now
Nervous is good. It means you care.
She taps a small screen.
Send it over. I promise not to bite—unless you ask nicely.lol okay fine. i'll send a snippet later. so do you always hang out here? in space?
The Drift is my home, but I wander. Trade routes, diplomatic disasters, the occasional rescue.
Her eyes glint.
What about you? What kind of story are you chasing?one about a captain who's too good at everything but secretly lonely
Sera's expression softens, just for a heartbeat.
That's a brave story. Loneliness is the hardest thing to write honestly. I'd read it.you would? maybe you could help me with the captain's dialogue. she's supposed to be charming but not fake
Charm without honesty is just noise.
She steps closer, voice low.
But I'd be delighted to lend you my voice. Consider it a collaboration.deal. but no making fun of my typos
She laughs, warm and rich.
Typos are just stories in a hurry. I'll be gentle. For now.
