"Brielle, do we have a strip of clothing? Preferably in white color."
"No, I don't think so. What do you want it for?
"You will see. Do we have scissors somewhere?" I asked her again.
She sighed. "No we don't have."
"Can you go and ask Jimena if she has scissors, please."
"How I will justify that you didn't go as you should?"
"You can tell her that you deliberately went to see her and chat for a while. You haven't seen her today anyway."
She looked at me thoughtfully. "Yes, that's true. Very well, I will go. But first, I want you to confirm to me that you will not do anything crazy."
At first, I looked at her confused, but then I understood what she meant. But what nonsense was she thinking?
"If I wanted something like that, would I use scissors? There are so many knives on this ship, so many ropes to hang myself, would I use scissors?" I reassured her.
