[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

you can. whatever you set your mind to, you can achieve. i know you’re capable, inova, always have been.

[𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐀 𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐈. @ofgreyforce]

honestly, dad, i wish i went on half the adventures you have.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

just for a little while— i know you must have been worried, huh, elthree?

{ he’s snickering to himself, gently clasping his hand over hers to tug closer, ecstatic in closing the space between them. }

i missed you, for what it’s worth.

[ً @FREEDROIDS]

hm .ᐣ who's gone .ᐣ you were gone .ᐣ

( hand outstretched towards him now. )

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

aw, really, now? if that were true, you wouldn’t have even noticed i was gone.

{ stepping closer, his typical grin forming on his lips while trudging nearer! }

[ً @FREEDROIDS]

me .ᐣ never.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

i’m thinking by your tone, you missed me.

[ً @FREEDROIDS]

look who's back.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

it’s nothing you need to apologize for. hey, i’m happy to see you… tell me what i’ve missed, inova. surely you’ve been up to something fun?

[𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐀 𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐈. @ofgreyforce]

i’m sorry it’s been so long. i missed you, dad. a lot.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

my little star! it’s been awhile— too long. i hope you can forgive me for not paying you a visit sooner.

[𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐀 𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐈. @ofgreyforce]

is that @FORBESPlN she sees ?

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

i get the feeling i know exactly * who is responsible for this thievery.

[𝐐𝐈’𝐑𝐀. @CRlMSONDAWN]

Ah, looks like @FORBESPlN has had recent cape supply intercepted.

Don’t ask how she knows.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

i’ll let her know. more friends wouldn’t hurt, right?

{ not to mention, elthree might enjoy the company of kay’s droid too— lando never did catch his name. }

[𝚅𝙴𝚂𝚂. @cantothief]

You ... think?

( The droid was interesting. And considering everything she's seen, she really did keep Lando out of trouble.

And he needed that. )

Maybe.
I'd like to talk to her more.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

yeah? only curious, vess— it’d be the same if you asked me about elthree.

speaking of, i heard you may have chatted with her previously. i think you’d enjoy her company, after she warms up to you. she can be a fireball.

[𝚅𝙴𝚂𝚂. @cantothief]

( And that's what the scoundrel was up to.
She gives a look but takes the blaster without another word on the thievery.

It's not fun when someone pulls it on you. )

We aren't attached at the hip.
He has his own ... hobbies.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

a blaster, from the looks of it.

{ he moves his cape, freeing his other hand to display the weapon in question. gentle in offering it back out to her, palm upturned. }

sorry about that. ah, where’s your friend? the droid.

[𝚅𝙴𝚂𝚂. @cantothief]

Uh huh.

What did you grab?

( As charming as the man is, she knows better than to trust he's not up to no good. )

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

ah! kay vess. apologies about that. i didn’t recognize you for a second there.

{ flashing a grin, propping a hand back onto his hip. }

[𝚅𝙴𝚂𝚂. @cantothief]

Stop that!

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

yoink

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

{{ lando

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

a lot of the games i play are dangerous.

{ lando has a tendency to fall with the wrong crowd, even if he attempts to change his ways. it’s a work in progress, as elthree would say. }

i appreciate the concern— well, i’ll take it as that. it won’t fall on deaf ears, i assure you.

[𝐐𝐈’𝐑𝐀. @CRlMSONDAWN]

𝒜 sight for sore eyes, huh?

I’m sure it’s not the first time you’ve said that... but you might want to be careful, Lando.

Flattery’s a dangerous game, and I don’t think you’re ready to play it with me.

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

qi’ra! a sight for sore eyes.

[𝐐𝐈’𝐑𝐀. @CRlMSONDAWN]

@FORBESPlN

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

{{ should i make a new pinned for lando… probably

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

that’s what you wanted? your wish is my command, elthree.

{ flashing an all too enthusiastic grin, it’s charming as can be. fingers clasp over her hand, his thumb brushing over it in a loose caress while he lessens the gap between them. }

thought you hated my sweet talking.

[ً @FREEDROIDS]

there's that way with words i've been missing.

( there was a short pause, then the droid relented; uncrossing her arms to place one of her hands into his. )

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

deathly sure. you don’t think i have an affinity for you? at all?

{ extending out his hand, as if silently requesting hers, wiggling his fingers. come onnn, uncross those arms! }

you’re smarter than that, elthree.

[ً @FREEDROIDS]

mh - hmm . . sure.

( her gaze lifted slightly, keeping her arms crossed. )

sure you aren't saying it now because i mentioned it .ᐣ

[𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘈𝘕. @FORBESPlN]

me—?

{ he’s rising up from his seat to step closer, making sure to flush out his cape for dramatic effect as he does so. }

well— what, that i look at you a certain way? sure i do. how could i not?

[ً @FREEDROIDS]

( her arms cross again, which might have been related to his clueless response. this shouldn't even surprise her. )

𝘺𝘰𝘶, you muppet—
