Shipping *Intensifies*

Between 2016 June and 2017 May (perhaps). Inspired by the discussion on Chantell Nguyen's page. 
.
Chantell lets herself into Juliet's room and flops down beside her on her bed.
"'ey, stranger, what's happening?" 
"Dad kicked me out of the office."
"Working too much?"
Chantell grumbles. "Apparently I provide too much judge-y commentary when he and Officer Du Croz have their 'whiskey and whine'." 
Juliet snorks. 
Chantell glowers at her pillow. 
"Well, they're old. And have difficult jobs. And have to deal with three Hansens, one more so than the other which is probably one of the only reasons why your dad likes being marshal and away from the general population and the Hansens." Sympathetic sigh. "Poor Du Croz. So close to retirement, and then: taken away, just like that." Nudges Chantell. "They should get a few hours judgement-free, ay?"
"I guess ...."
"Now tell me more about this so I have ship fodder."
"Ug!" Chantell stuffs her own head under the pillow.
.
Juliet sighs as Nguyen and Du Croz leave the canteen. 
"Do I want to know?" asks Andrea. 
"I can decide if I ship them or the Marshal with Dame Eadith."
Andrea swallows her porridge. "You could ship all three together?" 
Juliet considers. 
Andrea slurps up more mush. 
"That could work." Juliet twists around, grins. "If I ever wanted to think about people old enough to be my grandparents doing it." 
Andrea regrets the mush.
.
"Yo." Juliet plunks into Chantell's visitor's chair. 
Chantell glances up from the files on her desk. "Hey." 
"I've started shipping your dad and that Du Croz guy."
"Surprised it took you this long."
"I'm also shipping them in a threesome with Dame Eadith."
Chantell pauses. "I do /not want to think about that."
"You sure?" Juliet presents a sheaf of paper.
Chantell heads for the halls. "Positive." 
Juliet chases after. "'cause they do this thing--"
Chantell claps her hands over her ears.
"--and this other thing--"
"Lalalala--Ooof!"
"Telly," greets Nguyen, steadying her. 
"Da-ad! She's shipping the two of you with Dame Eadith and telling me about it! Make her stop!" 
Juliet grins. 
"Did you hear that, Henry? We've joined the illustrious ranks of Officer Tam's ships." 
"I did, Thomas. We'll have to tell Eadith." 
Juliet snickers into her fist. 
Nguyen offers his arm. "May I take you to dinner, my sweet baboo?"
Du Croz links his. "I would love that, my dear." 
Juliet rocks on her heels, cackling.
They stroll off. 
Chantell watches them leave in horror. 
"I have to tell Ray about this." 
Chantell shudders, spins mechanically on her heel, walks away stiffly. "I need brain bleach."
