[ In theory, floating in the vast emptiness of space has to be a little exciting. Except floating in the vast emptiness of space isn't all that different from floating just about anywhere, and she can't help but feel a little ... disappointed. At least they're in sync, there.
Disappointment that quickly shifts into annoyance the moment she tries turning a handle — with no success. Her temper isn't the most even thing, and that means following a vertical turn there's a sudden jerk to their right.
Not quite turning, but they did rotate. Sort of. She looks at him with knitted eyebrows, then a vague shrug. Then back to the controls, and —
This time, a jerk the other way. She hasn't even touched anything??? ]
[ well... this was definitely something. with all the jerking around, DD seems to grow a little more on edge, whining as the ship goes from the left, to the right, and then up, and then down again.
even so, Ocelot tries his best to keep an even temper. as a young man, he'd be kicking up a little bit more of a fuss. however, in some twenty years, he's learned that being petulant about things isn't the best way to get what you want. but, with one more jerk, he feels another wave of frustration going over him, and he lets out a curse in Russian.
and that's when the ship drops down, quicker than it had before. which gives him an idea. ]

[ sure, it was crazy in theory, but so was everything else about this situation. ]
