Action: On SS First Breath or planetside
When: now

[ a video pops up. Nova is looking mmmmore rested than she has in previous videos, but thoughtful and slightly distant ]

I have a weird question... have you ever met someone in one of these places who's supposed to be dead? Or... I guess, are you? How do you know?

[ she's also available to be found just outside of town on the dusty moon, or back on her ship later ]

[ he lifts his head to give her a look that's almost hurt. ]

You feel like you're stuck with me?

[takeabow]

What? No. Of course not.

It was a joke. Sorry.

[evildetector]

[ he drops his head back down, turning it to butt against her hand. ]

Promise?

[ it'd probably be more dramatic if he wasn't milking up the whole sulking thing here. ]

[takeabow]

[ it took her a minute but she finally recognizes his ploy and pokes his nose ]

Promise. I'm not stuck with you. Probably? Probably.

[evildetector]

[ he reaches up to catch her hand, expression dissolving into a soft half-smile while he looks up at her. ]

I mean... I'm the one with the pretty sweet end of that deal, if it's true. If I had to pick anyone in Aather or on the fleet to get stuck with, guess it's a good thing I'm lucky enough to be dating her in the first place.

[ he's so sappy............. ]

[takeabow]

[ soooooooo sappy. so sappy she has to turn away because it's making her have feelings that she's not comfortable with ever. but she's happy... she catches his hand and interlocks their fingers ]

You're such a nerd.

[ that's practically "i love you" ]

[evildetector]

Oh, I've literally never heard that one before.

[ he squeezes her fingers with his, sticking his tongue out as he does. ]

[takeabow]

[ she leans down and kisses his head ]

Luckily, I like that.
