[After a rather short time adrift, the fleet is finally in range of another planet. Small, peaceful, and colorful, there is plenty to do and explore.

Maybe it's enough to forget that vague feeling of unease.

Or not.]

[this_loser]

Yeah, me too. It's pretty incredible.

[(He liked that rock nonsense!)

He accepts the server's offer for a drink, even though he left his at another table. He feels like he was in the awkward position of staying or shuffling back to where he'd come from. Despite being outwardly lively and excitable, he didn't have a lot of practice being sociable.]

Sorry about jumping in there, by the way. It looked like you might've needed a hand.

[bryces_pup]

[Once the server turns to get his drink, Riona lets out a huge sigh of relief.]

No please, don't be sorry. I'm grateful beyond words. I hate singing in public. [So so much.] You're welcome to take a seat, if you'd like.

[Since he came all the way over here to rescue her.]

[this_loser]

I got that feeling. [He hesitates a second before sliding into the other chair.] If you're sure...?

Name's Prompto. Nice to meet you.

[bryces_pup]

Least I can do. Besides, it'd look strange if you left only a moment after you came over.

[Might as well keep up appearances and chat.]

Nice to meet you as well, Prompto. I'm Riona. Been in the fleet for long?

[this_loser]

It probably would, yeah.

[He smiles sheepishly, thanks the server when his drink arrives.]

About five months, I think? I'm on the First Breath. Maintenance. [Not the most glorious of positions, but he didn't mind.] How about you?

[bryces_pup]

Oooh, so you have those little robots, right? We haven't had a maintenance person on my ship in quite awhile. [Not since Bran. He was the first Stark to leave.] I'm the pilot on the Blue Fish. Been here for over a year and a half now.

[this_loser]

The cleaning droids? Yep! They're my buddies. [He's named each one.] A year and a half. That's .... that's a long time to be away from home.

[bryces_pup]

I do miss seeing them about the ship. Though I don't miss tripping over them. [Little buggers always seemed to run between legs. Like cats, but less furry.] Mm, it is, but it's half so long as some I know here who are staring down three years.

[this_loser]

That's just their way of saying hello. [No. He doesn't like tripping over them either. His toes are pretty sore, actually.] Three years... Shit. So there's really no telling how long we could be here.

[bryces_pup]

No, there isn't. It seems random. Or if there's a method to it, only Atroma knows.

[this_loser]

Nothing funner than having your fate left up to some other entity. [Gods. Astrals. Aliens. Whatever.

This was getting depressing. He took a drink, and flashed a smile instead.]

Okay! New topic. If you don't like singing in public, what do you like to do?

[bryces_pup]

Oh yes, absolutely hilarious. Watch me keel over and die from the chuckling.

[Her tone is dry with sarcasm, but honestly, it does bother her. So she's glad he forces a subject change.]

Well, I do enjoy theater and the performing arts. But that's in short supply, so I just like exploring and occasionally punching or stabbing some nasties.

[this_loser]

Finish your drink first.

[Be a shame to die sarcastically and let that go to waste.]

You like the punching and stabbing? Man, more power to you. I'm more of a ranged guy, stay in the back and pick 'em off, y'know?

[bryces_pup]

Ah, yes. Fair enough. I appreciate your priorities.

[And while she's thinking of it, she'll take a drink.]

Archer, then? Or are you from a place with those guns? But yes, I am. Sword and shield, I like to go in charging and swinging.

[this_loser]

[He lifts his mug. You're very welcome.]

Guns. The closest I've come to a bow and arrow is a crossbow. Though where I'm from, we use the old sword and shield as well.

[bryces_pup]

Good to hear some things don't die out. We have nothing like guns where I'm from. Crossbows are as advanced as it's gotten.
