[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.

[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?
