[Smuggling Mingle]

[detectivewonder]

Who: Planned: Tim & Cass, Tim & Stephanie Amell, Tim & Hiro & Ino I think. Not Planned But Still Welcome: Tim and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide Text.
Action: On the moons, or a shuttle in between them!
When: 2/17-2/20!

I'm making some book-buying expeditions to the moons for the next few days - let me know if you have any requests and I'll see if I can find something that fits. For that matter, let me know if you need a ride - we can carpool in one shuttle.

[It's true, but it's also a CYA pretext - if he's going to afford a decent library, Tim thinks, he needs income. Exporting books from all three moons gives him good cover - small items can be hidden in the spines, in the book jackets, in the pages, and might avoid customs, since he isn't planning to take the books themselves off-ship. For that matter, he has a lot of experience layering clothes in subtle ways, and the market value of red silk lingerie and underclothes on Abeo is unreal...

And unbeknownst to Tim, around the time he first starts spending his days cooped up alone in the shuttle, his augment is malfunctioning, upping his pheromones. Mostly, lightly, just enough for a raised heartbeat and a flushed cheek, but it still might make his trips... more interesting than he wants them to be.]

[For the most part, Cass hasn't put any effort into finding ways to make money. One body guard mission was enough to secure her very plain clothes, something not quite as flashy as a batsuit, and that's how she's dressed when she spots Tim on Abeo. She'd wanted this from the beginning, to be with him face to face, but something has her hesitating. There's something that feels off as she watches him, stalks him a little as he moves through the streets.

Something's happened to his body, she can see that much, but does he realize? As she gets closer to him, her displeasure over their first conversation is fading. She wants to be right here, right by his side, and when she reaches out to touch his arm she finds she doesn't really want to let go again any time soon.

Strange.]

Hi again.

[detectivewonder]

You're slipping, I saw you coming.

[It's a joke, and obviously - his body language is eager, relieved, only a little cautious because their last conversation didn't go well. He's been doing his best to stay in touch - and, let's be honest, to monitor her, in a friendly way, as he sees it. But it's true that he caught a glimpse of her while she was still five yards off, and the look on her face relaxed him. They don't have to pick a fight.]

Hi. Settling in okay?

[hellofist]

[She shrugs, curling her fingers around his arm and holding onto it. She's seen men and women walk like this in movies and it seems a good way to keep track of him in crowds, but there's just also something that makes her want to keep touching him. His joke almost makes her angry before she looks close enough to see he didn't mean it, that he's actually joking with her, it gets a smile from her.]

Wasn't really hiding much. And I'm fine, I like it here. It's better than ships. Where were you going?

[detectivewonder]

I've got a ... business meeting. I'm trying to scare up some money. You might have to shadow me for that - I'm not sure how my business partner would feel about someone else coming along.

[His body language shows more embarrassment than worry, and of course Tim's usual furtive, elliptical nature, talking around a subject rather than tackling it head-on.]
