I think home would be better.

Text >> action?

[totallytrustworthy]

be there in ten then

[taggingwomprats]

See you soon.

[And just as promised, he's there. He's actually in one of the tunnels outside, peering up at the dim overhead lighting (he's reminded of the ice caves they carved out on Hoth) and when he sees her, his face splits into a grin that turns sheepish as he jogs over.]

Hey, Chloe. Good to see you! Out of jail, I mean.

[totallytrustworthy]

[Call him a sight for sore eyes with all she's been tussling with lately. Chloe tugs off the hood to her coat enough so that he can catch sight of one simple enough smile tucked away beneath dark hair. A short, affectionate pat on the shoulder comes just a moment later.]

Likewise, cowboy. What brings you out to our neck of the woods?

[taggingwomprats]

[Luke laughs. It really is good to see her again - she's a friend and Luke doesn't let those go easily.]

What, can't I just visit?

[There might be something else, though. He holds out a bottle with a nod.]

I, uh, actually wanted to give you this. It's nothing special, just some local rotgut, but I figured it might help you keep warm.

[totallytrustworthy]

[The grin widens at that as she goes in to take it from him.]

Oh for Christ's sake, darling, you're spoiling me. What on earth did I do to deserve this?

[taggingwomprats]

Well, you sent me something a week or two back. I figured I should return the favor.

[totallytrustworthy]

So I'm not special is what you're saying. [Spoken with that same, coy little expression.]

[taggingwomprats]

Hey, I didn't say that-

[Luke snorts.]

[totallytrustworthy]

Mmhm. [It's a long, cheerful beat before she moves to jam the too-large bottle into one of her front pockets. Gives it a pleasant enough pat for good measure.] Thank you, Luke.

Can't say I deserve it but I won't say no.

[taggingwomprats]

Well, I think you do.

[Luke leans back against the wall of packed snow behind him.]

You know, if my opinion is worth anything.

[totallytrustworthy]

Oh don't you dare. [ Of course your opinion is worth something, Luke, you're one of her closest these days and with good reason.]

So how's settling in? Find a place yet?

[taggingwomprats]

Working on it.

[Luke laughs.]

The good news is, I'm used to living on an ice-ball. Sort of.

[totallytrustworthy]

God, Luke. You're going to give me a bloody heart attack. [ So young, so reckless!!] What about the transport hovels, none of those suit your fancy?
