To be honest, Daphne had not talked too often with Daniel before, which wasn’t a practice that she wanted to continue. No, she was going to get to know her crew better whether they liked it or not. Even when her crew had some unusual anxiety and didn’t seem like the type of personality to appreciate a pirate ship. Given... Stella and Ryder weren’t exactly prime pirate ship material, but they were doing well enough in their duties. And so too did Daniel. She had seen enough to know that assigning gardener duties to any of the other mates was a mistake when Daniel was right here.
And right here in the garden was where she Daniel both were at the moment. She was taking the opportunity to do a ‘routine inspection’ to get a chance to get a better understanding of this unusual crew member. “Daniel, hello,” Daphne greeted him as she entered the greenhouse gardens. Her voice carried well in a room after years of practice without typically coming off as shouting. “I’m looking over what’s going on in the ship. I was just thinking that I don’t know that much about you, though. Are you all right to chat while you work, or do you need to take a break?”
if i had a nickel for every time someone jake loves got brainwashed into loathing him and recovered their memories only after brutally wounding him, i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it has happened twice.
Wait what do you mean Red Bull didn't pay him anything for his first year in F1? So he wasn't paid a salary? That can't be right. I don't think that's allowed?
I got a couple of asks about this, I wasn't aware it wasn't common knowledge:
Red Bull had a history of predatory contract practices and like. he's rich now he doesn't need my sympathy but I used to think about it all the time. how daniel didn't come from a rich family, how he didn't have parents who travelled with him while he was karting, how he was living alone since 17 and they didn't pay him for his first year in f1 🤢
Natalie: Why have you given Sergio Perez more time because You've talked about the importance of having both cars right up there? What gives you the confidence that he can turn things around in the later stages of this season? Is it crucial that you hang on to him till the Mexican Grand Prix?
