ARE YOU GOING TO BE OKAY?

[crocodilesmiles]

( Possibly )

Gamora's there! I'll be great.

[payback]

That's what I'm worried about!

[crocodilesmiles]

She's really good at surviving stuff! We'll be good. We have the holothings and everything!

[payback]

She's not very nice Collette!!

[crocodilesmiles]

She has a hard time expressing her feelings!

[payback]

She's kind of mean in fact!

[crocodilesmiles]

She also cares! And she will keep me safe, I know it. Gamora sticks to her word!

... Which mostly is telling people to not die, but she helps make sure it doesn't happen.

[payback]

If you're sure I guess...

[crocodilesmiles]

I'm sure! I'll be fine. See you again before you know it!

[payback]

Have fun if you can! Be careful!

action; backdated to a week ago!

[allucinator]

[It's been a while since he and Rin have simply hung out. Mahdi's been giving him cooking lessons; the last, at Jack's request, was how to bake cookies. His own turned out rather . . . well, they weren't that great. So the ones Jack's carrying on a plate are actually Mahdi's, and thus far more delicious.

He knocks at her door twice before opening it and ducking his head in.]

It's me! Rin?

SUCH FORWARD DATED THIS ACTION

[implying]

[ Gods, he's practically forgotten his way around up here. But he hasn't quite, because that would be impossible. Equally impossible would be forgetting his old room number, shared with two rather charming individuals.

But he's been gone a while, he knows that by the way that he also can't physically forget the date it'd been when he'd left, and it compares a bit distressingly with today's date. So, rather than push the door open — he knocks.

He's feeling charitable today. ]

[payback]

[Rather than just call out "Come in," she answers with a question:]

Who's it?

[payback]

[She sits up from her bunk - apparently she was just skimming something on the communicator - and scrapes her hair out of her face.]

I'm here... hi there. Whatcha got?

[implying]

[ There's a joke he's learned recently. Well, sort of — a wisecrack, perhaps, but that suits him well enough. He smiles, calling back: ]

Room service!

[ The accent is rather unique on the moonbase though, all things considered. ]

[payback]

[The voice is pretty familiar too! She squinches up her face at the door, and then smiles, unable to help it.]

Vanadi, come in! [And she'll get up so she's at the door when he opens it, as a bonus.]

[allucinator]

Sweets!

[He clambers onto her bunk without much prelude and sets the plate between them.]

And me, but, you know, mostly sweets. They're good! I helped bake em.

[implying]

[ Open it he does, and as soon as Rin is in sight, he moves to sweep her into a hug. One arm wraps around her middle, one around her neck and shoulders, and he turns his head to press a few kisses into her hair and onto her cheek.

He's missed her, it seems safe to say. ]

[payback]

[She glances down at the plate and then takes a cookie and smiles at him. Sweets are always a way to butter Rin up; she has a real weakness for chocolate.]

Oh yeah? Good for you, Jack. [She nibbles at a corner and then nods appreciatively.] Thanks!

How are you doing?

[allucinator]

Pretty good. I, uh, I found a pretty good way to keep nightmares. Me and him-- Mahdi, the guy who taught me to cook-- we share a bed. So that's good.

[payback]

[Her eyebrows rise, and her smile remains constant. She's going to let him explain himself at his own time. But she will say:]

Oh, really?

[allucinator]

[He shrugs.]

It helps with the nightmares.

[A beat, and then:]

And he likes kissin' me. So. There's that.

[payback]

[She glances down, playing with a cookie - slowly squishing it along one side until it starts to break in half.]

A guy, huh?

[allucinator]

Yeah.

[He wrinkles his nose and stares fixedly down at the bed.]

Sorry. I know it's weird, I know it's-- it's, it's fuckin' weird as hell--
