Were you worrying about me? I'm doing just fine!
[ she smiles brightly, and comes over to try to peek at his display, because she's nosy. ]
What are you up to, Luke?

What are you up to, Luke?
Just checking in! I don't think you need me to worry too much. [At least in the sense of, she doesn't seem like she's about to have panic attacks? Honestly most people here have been an almost concerning level of well-adjusted, he expected a lot more of Lucien-brand screaming in the bathroom.
Anyway, she can take a look! It's just a long line of code.]
I'm just taking some notes, for now. I don't want to try hacking into the system again until I'm sure I've got something that will work, but I'm jotting down ideas.

Huh... So if it goes well, can you peek at some of this company's secrets? Or take control of the ship?
You think you could really reach them, at this distance?
... What's your team like, anyway?
... What's your team like, anyway?
I'm not sure. But if we're close enough to a satellite, I can probably go from there... or, I can take a look at how the ship stays in touch with Nut & Bolt, and adjust their systems. This isn't really my area of expertise, though, so I have to be careful.
[Lest he fuck something up majorly and get them stranded forever, which would be super embarrassing.
At her question, he makes a face.]
They're fine. Good enough at their jobs, I guess. [Luke don't be a baby]

Ooh, now I'm really curious about them. [ hehe. ]
[NYEH...]
Well... on my current team, one's a lawyer. One's a doctor. And one isn't good for anything but being rich. [STOP. He brightens up, then.] And one is... someone I've known my whole life! She's a lawyer too--she's amazing.
[These are not technically his real coworkers but we only ever meet like. One of them. So whatever.]

Huh... they sound pretty impressive.
[ it's cool, anise knows what it's like to have that one teammate whose only special skill is being super rich. ]
Especially that last one. Is she your girlfriend?

[WHY IS HE BEING ATTACKED LIKE THIS!!]
Of course I do! We grew up together. But it's--not like that. [Does the childhood friend route ever truly win. He clears his throat, pretending his ears aren't red.] A--Anyway, it's a pretty good team. There's a little friction sometimes, but it's like that with any group.

That's true! The group I travel with always has some kind of drama going on.
[ affectionately. ]
[ affectionately. ]
Well... there's the fun-but-scary Colonel, a princess with no common sense, the totally-gorgeous and cold-on-the-outside-but-actual-total-softie Tear, and Guy with his women problems, and Luke, who's about to get a billion wrinkles because he's always having some kind of existential crisis...
And then there's me, the cute and normal one!
And then there's me, the cute and normal one!
Nope! None of them do, actually. I met them all when I left home for the first time.
Yep! I was on an important diplomatic mission! Which kinda snowballed into a bunch of other things, and before I knew it, I'd basically circled the whole world!
I did get to stop by home now and then to visit my parents, so I wasn't gone the whole time. I start to worry about them whenever I'm away for too long...
[Aww, sweet Anise. He smiles, fond.]
That's really sweet of you. The girl I grew up with, she's the same way... she even goes back and checks on our old neighbors.
[I was going to say she could get a blip of his emotions for this but it's a Sunday PC I'm sorry Anise]

Hmm... so that kind of thoughtful, caring girl is your type, huh...?
[ you should be sorry, pixi!! not for that but you know!!! ]
