[ oh. she leans and he does actually press up into her side for stealth cuddles. everybody shut up. ]

Mm. [ which is black cat code for "nervous and trying not to be." ] You?

[she will just rest her head against his head. it's fine.]

I'm alright. [nervous, but she always is.] ... I'm glad to see you here.
solesuccess: (To my future)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-03-22 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ he nods a little. ]

I've been here a lot this week, and I figured this was probably as good a place to be as any. I didn't think there'd be this many people, but I'm kind of glad for it. It's...easier when you know where, like, half of the ship is.
naeddre: (036)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-22 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
True. [she says, amused.] I didn't anticipate this many people, but Temenos insisted we be out here, just in case.

[she would've been fine with being in her room!!]
solesuccess: (Is when it's tested again and again)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-03-22 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's probably better this way so you have witnesses, too. [ lightly musing on this. ] I'm pretty sure she's gonna complain about my choices but she can pick next time if she hates it so much.

[ does not clarify who she is, but he figures it's obvious. ]
naeddre: (027)

[snorts.]

... I go where Temenos goes, so I suppose I can't say much.
solesuccess: (Jam - unlock it)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-03-22 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ sage nodding. ]

Everyone has freedom of choice, and yet. [ and yet. but he does quietly murmur to her: ] ...the idea of not being with them when we know how these nights go isn't great anyway.
naeddre: (045)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-22 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[... yeah. she closes her eyes briefly.]

There isn't... there isn't much to do about what might happen, but it makes me feel better to be here with people I care for. [just in case.]
solesuccess: (Bring it)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-03-22 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Me too. [ ... ] I'm trying to, like, get better about at least asking where people are going to be on Thursdays just so I know even if we aren't together. That kinda helps a little bit.
naeddre: (Default)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-22 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[a little nod.]

At least we know where they were, if worst comes to worst.
solesuccess: (And I don't believe in the truth)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-03-22 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [ this is depressing, but it's better to know the reality of their situation. but he's still looking at her-mes over her shoulder. ]

...you ever think these messages are getting more and more unhinged?
naeddre: (006)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-22 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[dryly.]

I don't understand half of this one.

[so a guy pulls out a knife and says "where do you think you're going with all that water?" so i said "hey, buddy, muad'dib is a killing word HIYA"
so i hop up on shai-hulud now IM drivin the worm
youre the kwisatz haderach
yeah yeah im the kwisatz haderach
so you just took over the imperium and allowed the fremen to wage a jihad in your name against the entire known universe?
WELL THE SPICE MUST FLOW

solesuccess: (Quick - erase it)

[






h. i have to contend with the fact that it's entirely possible he would in fact understand this reference and i'm gonna ignore it. ]


I don't...think we're meant to really take it so literally. If we're meant to take it seriously at all.
naeddre: (081)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-22 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[help]

Well, that's good. Because I have no idea what it's talking about.
solesuccess: (I'm bad behavior)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-03-22 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ]

Let's have another movie day sometime soon, okay?
naeddre: (033)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-22 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[a beat.]

Ah. Yes, okay. [a fabled movie reference.........]
solesuccess: (But we don't have to be)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-03-22 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ he grins a little. ]

...there might be some kind of hidden meaning to it, or it's someone screwing around. I don't know yet.
