Title: Nobody Listens to Yuri

Author: Haliaetus

Fandom: Warchild, Burndive and Cagebird by Karin Lowachee

Disclaimer: I own only a copy of the book Cagebird. The rest is Karin Lowachee's.

Summary: While talking with my friend about the fics of another author (aurora-kayd) in this (tiny) fandom, we were talking about how one of our OCs (see our multipart fic, coming soon if we can get with the program and actually write) would be the "translator" for another, but how Jos and Yuri could also be translators, but Jos doesn't like to talk that much and nobody listens to Yuri. Thus, this fic.

Note: More may be added later if/when I get inspiration, but for now, there's only the three. Also, they are written in an odd kind of first person POV, so just go with it. It's Yuri POV.

Booby-hatches: Sid

"Uh, Corporal Sidney…"

No answer from the Marine across the jet lounge.

"Corporal Sidney!"

Still no answer. Sigh. Get up, go after him…

"Corporal! Watch the—"

"What the hell!!" Wince as the Marine ducks at the last minute to avoid the slung projectile—a wad of socks?—after opening the hatch to one of the corridors. Watch as he glares around to find the perp and sees the only other person paying attention to him.

"You! Did you do this, pirate?!"

Shrug. "No. I tried to warn you it was booby-trapped, but you wouldn't pay attention."

Smile as he glares one last time and leaves through a different hatch. Remember belatedly that Dorr also booby-trapped that hatch.

Wonder if Dorr will get chewed out later tonight when he finally shows his face.
