ABS FIESTA REDUX
CypherX:
Gus laughs too.
"I was beginning to get tired of the sound of the carrier. The quiet seems a little strange now, but welcome. But hey, if all goes to plan we shouldn't be here very long anyways. I can't believe that after our time in Kronovostok the Sky Marshal wouldn't let everyone off the leash for a little while."
He smiles.
carolcat:
She returns the smile, then remembers what she's going to have to tell him. Well, she thinks to herself, I'll only have to tell him if we do go on leave. The thought gives her a bit of relief, although it's clear something is still bothering her a bit.
Cualli looks at his luggage. "I bet you probably want to hurry up and put all that away. I don't want to keep you too long."
CypherX:
"Yeah, alright. If I hear anything you'll be the first to know."
A brief look of confusion crosses his face as to her dismissive demeanor and bothered expression. Something is different. He adjusts his grip on the bags and looks towards the crowd. He flashes another smile, less certain than before, nearly turning to leave before looking Cualli in the eyes and continuing.
"Is there something wrong?" he asks in an inquisitive and concerned tone.
carolcat:
forget. No point in dodging it now.
She gives a bit of a sigh. "It's... complicated. And I also can't talk about it with so many people around."
The doodled-on sticky notes get shoved into one of her fatigue pockets with one hand while Cualli runs her fingers through her braids with the other. "Get your stuff put away. I'm going to find out if there's any nice bars around here and we'll meet up there this evening to talk, okay? I'll tell you what's wrong then."
CypherX:
He studies her face for a moment before nodding.
"Alright."
He looks over at Elu as he turns to head towards the barracks and nearly raises an eyebrow at the stoic robot, now with more questions than when he started. The robot looks back at him blankly.
