Mm, I like the way you think. [ because those were his thoughts exactly. apart from shacking up somewhere. abandoned buildings are good for some purposes, but he isn't going to become a squatter. he prefers to move from one place to another, unattached. if only he could find a ship somewhere. oh well, that's for later. a captain can dream. ]
I was told of a place called New Amsterdam. [ what a funny name, right? he doesn't sound too impressed with it, almost like he just felt obligated to share the information. after all, they are companions in some way. ] The others hold their base of operations there.
Still, you scored yourself some nice digs here. Even if it's not permanent. [ and she clearly has no hesitation about hooking up on someone else's bed, evidenced by... the fact that they just did that. but she does want a place that's hers, somewhere she can call her own, where she can lay her own personal touches down. she has a very distinctive aesthetic. ]
So... that where you're headin' after this? [ is it her way of subtly trying to suss out what his plans are? she really doesn't have anything better to do, so tagging along doesn't seem like a bad idea. although she's going to claim that's not what she's doing at all. even if a hint of that might flicker through the bond while they're still touching directly. ]
Nice? Only because you're here. [ lazy compliments while he pauses to think about his own future. new amsterdam might mean trouble, but he wants to see if there's anyone he'd know. even if it's unlikely.
and he's a gentleman so he's going to pretend he didn't feel that. ]
Aye, might as well. Our options are somewhat limited, aren't they? [ which is to say she's more than welcome to join him if she's got nothing better to do. ]
[ it might be something casually flung out, but it still elicits a smile from her anyway. never let it be said that harley doesn't respond well to a compliment, though. ]
Saw a couple people soundin' off on the network about it. [ and she doesn't have anything specific keeping her here. still seems like there's a strangely low number of people around, but that's not anything she's thinking too deeply about.
her eyes find his face and she grins slowly. ] Why not go on an adventure, right?
Ah, the network. [ he sounds somewhat tired just thinking about it, rolling his eyes. learning how to communicate through it and the inboxes went rather smoothly, but the idea of them still makes his skin crawl. it's a lot.
luckily she has the right idea. the grin on his face mirrors her own. adventure!! ]
It was clear right from the start that you know how to have fun, love.
[ it was weird, honestly, having what amounts to all this tech in her head and not being able to use any of it until suddenly, it was like somebody had flipped a big switch and she could scroll through all of these conversations that were taking place. it's still a strange feeling, but she'd caught on quickly enough in terms of actually figuring out how to use it.
case in point: having what amounts to a futuristic booty call, the very satisfying results of which are still laying right next to her. ]
Could tell just by lookin' at me, huh? [ she smooths a hand across his chest, fingers spindling across the dark hair there, watching the glow resume. ] Like... finds like.
