It doesn't want to kill us...yet. [But she's hoping it will keep up the trend. Her first long stretch here was a relatively pleasant one and she's pretty sure it's not just the loss of Winn that's messed the fleet up in the last year.]

Maybe other people would find it fun too.

[candothat]

This planet is wonderful and it would never hurt me. Philias, however, should be watched carefully. [Ebrion is the best planet they've visited since Pavel has been in the Fleet, it can't turn on him, he would be so sad.]

Do you think so? The captain would, I know. Possibly Felix.

[passingthrough]

I could help too. Some. There's a beach calling my name and I have to watch that planet anyway apparently.

[candothat]

What, you would rather spend our time here on a beach on a too-hot planet instead of wandering aimlessly through the system?

Fair enough.

[passingthrough]

Some of my time. I can do both!

[candothat]

Will you tell me when--if--you would like to do the aimless wandering? Not the beach, please do that without me. I would probably die if I was exposed to that much heat and sunlight.

[passingthrough]

As if I would wander aimlessly without giving you a heads up. You're always my first call for that kind of thing.

[candothat]

What have I done to be worthy of such a distinction?

[passingthrough]

You're my best friend. And I can't possibly list everything that got you that title. We'd be here all week and there isn't enough hot chocolate in all the world for that!

[candothat]

[He smiles brightly.] For that, I would spare a couple of hours and buy at least all of the hot chocolate in this cafe.

[passingthrough]

At least all of it? But possibly you'd buy all the hot chocolate in all the surrounding areas too? [Amused.]

[candothat]

Of course I would, assuming it was reasonably priced. There are limits to the lengths to which I will go to hear you say nice things about me.

[passingthrough]

You are soooo needy. [Smiling fondly at him for it. She's no better.] But if it keeps me in melted chocolate goodness I'm good with this plan.

[candothat]

This is true. [He's not entirely joking, he knows he requires external sources of validation.] Does that mean you'll only compliment me if I bribe you?

[passingthrough]

[He's not the only one.] I've complicated you before without bribes.

...I have, right? [Suddenly unsure. She tends to be more physically demonstrative of feelings than verbally.]

[candothat]

Of course you have. [He's confident that a Kitty has at some point. Sincerely:] Don't worry, I do know that you care.

[passingthrough]

(lol, complimented, not complicated. But wow...freudian slip.)

Good. I do care. And I think highly of you in many ways.

[candothat]

[My brain autocorrected what would have otherwise been a Way Too Real statement, it's cool!]

I suppose now is a good time to admit that I think highly of you too. It was a well-kept secret, I know.

[passingthrough]

It was. A mystery for the ages. But thanks. I hope you keep thinking it.

[candothat]

I intend to. If you suddenly stop being witty, intelligent, strong, brave, and compassionate, however, I may need to reconsider.

[passingthrough]

[Witty was her couple name with Winn. /sob]

Did you throw compassionate in just to see if I was listening?

[candothat]

[THAT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL.]

I meant that one too, don't critique me when I'm attempting to compliment you.

[passingthrough]

[She knows!]

Yes, sir. I'll try to embrace this new found compassion.

[candothat]

I forgot to add 'difficult' to your list of qualities. Difficult in a good way, of course.

[passingthrough]

Harsh. And when is difficult ever good anyway?
