3. Draco's magic is interesting. It seems more like a tool than a bunch of mystical gibberish. We all know how she feels about usefulness.
2. Lydia reminds Kate somewhat of herself or at least she can see certain traits that she possesses in Lydia. She likes Lydia.
1. Sometimes, she wants to smack Draco upside the back of his head. She is warming up to Draco. He has useful skills after all and he is important to the Professor.
If Margaery could have her own way, she would be Queen of Westeros and the Tyrells would be in power. The Lannisters would be ousted and the Starks would be returned to the North, allies to her family.
There would by no threat by a Dragon Queen and the Iron Islanders would pay for attacking her lands. Cersei also would be forced to kneel before Margaery. The people would be fed and happy.
So this is a really difficult question for Rush to answer, because even he is not entirely sure what he would actually do if presented with that situation as an actuality.
A lot of weighing of odds go into it: the odds that everything went right on Destiny and they're not drifting dead in space, the odds that even if they aren't the pods were set right and they'll wake up in time, and the likelihood of his going back to Destiny anyway.
As of now, he would say that he'd have Amanda healthy and with him because the odds of getting back to a fully functioning Destiny where he is healthy and not frozen for hundreds of years seem lower than the odds of being stuck here for years or being sent back to essentially nothingness, and he has his notes and information with him plus the Nysgods have tech that is very similar to the Ancients. His work could technically still continue, and clearly Nysgods have ships, etc etc justification. Whether he actually would if it came down to it...
What Rush believes is honest truth may not necessarily reflect his actual behavior in the heat of the moment.
Unless you look at it the way he does, which is that not only does Scorpius exist, he's a wonderful, intelligent individual who's obviously making something of himself and striving to get past everything that happened when Draco was his age. And that is super great on every level.
She appreciates them more than pretty much anything, and would go to great lengths for them. She knows what it feels like to lose, and she's lost more friends than she can count in her lifetime, so she knows better than to waste her time with them or brush them off.
Maximum awkward on pretty much every level. CONSTANTLY nervous about morning wood, he really doesn't want her listening to him talk in his sleep For Reasons, he thrashes sometimes, she's all pressed up against him and that's just weird because there is PLENTY OF ROOM FOR HER ON THE OTHER SIDE... Oh, and he has no idea how to explain their situation to anyone, so he's just going to default to "none of your business" rather than dealing with having to tell people that they just curl up like kids every night for no reason other than not wanting to be alone.
And sometimes in the morning when he's kind of half asleep he panics for a moment because it's difficult to tell the difference between a sleeping homunculus and a dead body. #walkingcorpseproblems
