So, brave = Ito, unapproachable = Perbeck, mysterious past = J6, outside of military = ?...

Not sure what great smile or tall blondes may refer to. I've forgotten what Perbeck looks like TBH. Unusual looks may also refer to J6, I suppose.

Edit: "As you round the corner, you catch sight of blonde hair and a blue and silver pilot's suit..." And IIRC, Perbeck is taller than North. So tall blondes may also be another indication for Perbeck.

Great smile, perhaps Ito?

"One is not enough for right now," he mutters. His own pilot's suit is somewhat less ornate than Perbeck's -- Ito comes from a respected military family, but he's hardly a countess. He's broad shouldered, of middling height, and of clear East Asian ancestry, ordinarily possessing a sort of jocular intensity that now you only catch flashes of, as he shoots Anja a grateful grin.

"You haven't… offended," J6 explains, slowly. "I like talking to you. You're… calming."

I guess having two out of the four people we talked to showing interest in us is fun.

[X] Someone serious and unapproachable, with a private warmer side.
[X] Tall blondes

Probably? That one, at least, is pretty subjective, but the other two options have obvious people they refer to.

In the interest of sorta hitting both possibilities ... Not really interested in hinting at the tragic crush on Ito or something.

Undead? Unalive? In limbo? Conceptually immortal? Vitality is far from binary.

… /facepalm
And there was me thinking that the Obvious Love Interest getting himself killed would reduce the amount of shipping going on. More fool me.

With luck the pair will be responsible enough to keep it g-rated while there is an invasion underway.

I'd prefer to know more about the people Amani might pursue before going down a specific path. Talk to them more, see them do things and interact with others. Actually befriend them, not just have a few short encounters with possibly positive outcomes.

It's your turn to be taken aback. "Excuse me, ma'am?" you gasp.

She winces, letting the hated tea pouch spin slowly away in space in order to slap a hand against her face. "Apologies, Ensign. You're an extremely dedicated officer and deserve to be addressed with respect. Meds or no meds, I don't really have room to be talking about decorum after that."

So anyway, I would just like to congratulate everyone who voted correctly on that last vote. I am glad the majority chose the right answer.

I am slightly disappointed at missing a chance to meet the Princess, but I am secure enough in my personal self-worth to admit that voting for the sickbay option was indeed the incorrect choice, and for that I apologize.

I hope we can now move past all that, and on to these Much More Important Matters.

[X] Someone serious and unapproachable, with a private warmer side
[X] A great smile

Anyway, joking aside, I'm voting for these, because... well. Perbeck. Is Perbeck a tall blonde? "A great smile" is pretty ambiguous, anyway, so it could apply to her too. She barely ever smiles much, so if she ever does genuinely light up it will probably hit with the same force as her railgun.

Besides which, "I want to see them smile!" is one of those old romance clichés that I am a total sucker for.
 
Welcome back!

I greatly appreciate that we got to see all these people before making this choice. It means I don't have to go back and check what they're like again. :V

Perbeck is, in fact, both tall and blonde.

Lady Perbeck is a stark contrast beside him. Pale, leanly athletic and a good two inches taller than the first officer, her long, golden hair is tied back in a simple knot, as if she expects to have to put on the helmet tucked under one arm on at any moment.

The most frustrating response to Anja here would have been to make it obvious you're into her surrogate brother, if he weren't super dead.

"Ew. Never talk to me about this again."

Just out of curiosity, is Ito "the cockpit was empty with a big hole and some blood in it" dead or "the only bits of him they didn't recover are the ones that were no longer distinguishable from the instrumentation" dead?

Also, I should vote.

This seems like somebody that North would go for, somebody with a clear distinction between professional and personal realms.
