The Millennium Falcon- Saturday

[thatwaslucky]

While the general vibe of the last day on Anoat had been anxiety, today was relief. They'd gotten away safely, no evidence of their months on the planet left for the First Order to discover. Most of the Resistance members were on the other ship, though Chewie, Leia and Rose stayed on the Falcon. Rey had plotted their course through hyperspace and had put the ship on autopilot, and today was kind of a day to just chill out on a space ship.

There were things to do. There was a lounge area with a dejarik table if you wanted to learn a new game, and another with a mostly empty bar and a sound system that Rey had literally never touched. If you felt like geeking out over tech, someone might put you to work. No, you can't fly the ship. Yes, you can sit there. No, seriously, don't touch anything.


[For le Resistance!]

Silver was much more comfortable being on the Falcon now than he had been the first time. He sort of knew the layout now and wasn't afraid of accidentally locking himself in the cargo hold or anything.

For now he was hanging out in the lounge. He would not be playing Chewie in dejarik. He knew better.

Yesterday Leia had been busy. Today there wasn't nearly as much for her to do, so she had a chance to make sure she ended up right next to Space Daughter's boyfriend.

"I've heard a lot about you."

[long_memory]

"A lot of people have, apparently," he said with a small smile. He had expected this at some point, though he was still a little nervous. He was good at reading most people but he would have to be insane to not have some doubts when it came to someone like Leia.

"I'm told only good things have been said."

[shesroyalty]

"Of course," Leia nodded easily. "So tell me about yourself instead."

[long_memory]

"Help me out by telling me what bits you actually know." He wasn't about to dive into that question completely blind, no thank you.

[shesroyalty]

That actually told her a lot right there. It wasn't a bad thing.

"This isn't an interrogation," she told him. "Where do you come from? What do you do? What do you tell people when they usually ask this question?"

[long_memory]

For something that wasn't an interrogation it sure felt like an interrogation. But then again, Silver thought most introductory questions were meant to trip him up somehow.

"I usually say I'm a bartender," he replied. "And usually I add I'm from the past so things like electricity and space travel are still rather new to me."

[shesroyalty]

"It is still strange to hear about someone being from the past," Leia admitted.

And yet, not the strangest thing she'd heard out of Fandom. By a long shot.

[long_memory]

"It's very strange meeting people from the future as well," he said. "But luckily I ended up in a place where people are very patient with me and don't judge when I am in awe of things like air conditioning."

[shesroyalty]

Leia smiled. "Adjusting takes some time. And then we take you to new planets."

[long_memory]

"I am not going to an ice planet, just for the record." He was a delicate flower about the cold, Leia.

[shesroyalty]

"That sounds definitive," Leia said, amused.

[long_memory]

"I don't like the cold." That was putting it mildly. "Before I was in Fandom I had been in a more tropical climate, mostly at sea."

[shesroyalty]

"Right, that kind of pirate." She knew the space kind, not the sea kind. "The next planet might be more your climate. I've had my fill of ice worlds myself, if I can help it."

[long_memory]

"I was supposed to ask you or Chewie about Hoth," he said. "And asking Chewie is out of the question for now."

Oh yeah, like he'd ever learn that language.

[shesroyalty]

"When we're around Threepio, he can translate." Oh Leia, that was just trolling. "Hoth is an ice planet where we had a base years ago, during the Rebellion. We built it in the snow. Freezing, all the time. If you were out at night you probably weren't coming back. It would be your least favorite place."

[long_memory]

"That very much sounds like a nightmare as far as I'm concerned," he said. "Honestly if we landed on a planet like that now you would probably have to drag me off the ship."

[shesroyalty]

Leia smiled. "You do what you have to do in a bad situation. Sometimes that means wearing coats indoors. Almost all of the time."

[long_memory]

"And this planet we're going to is decidedly not like that, correct?" Otherwise you might have to drop him off at a local bar or something.

Sometime during the trip, Barry swung by to check in.

“Looks like you have gotten used to the leg. Mind if I take a look at it just to make sure it’s working properly? You don’t have to take it off or anything.”

[long_memory]

"Oh, sure," Silver said, moving to pull up his pant leg. The majority of the people here knew he had the one leg so he wasn't at all nervous about showing it.

"It's been great. Honestly, I feel like a new person. Or, the old person I was, rather."

[badassprodigy]

"That's good to hear," Barry said taking a cable and plugging it into a dataport in both the leg and his tablet. Schematics and logs began to appear and Barry began to run through them. "Any issues? Wobbling? Sudden urge to do the Macarena?"

[long_memory]

"The what?" The Macarena was a relic but not a 1715 relic.

[badassprodigy]

"If you don't know, you're fine," Barry said with a slight chuckle as he reviewed the logs and look satisfied with what he saw. He made a some slight adjustments based on the data he saw and started to remove the cables. "Everything looks good. As usual, if anything starts getting wonky don't hesitate to fucking call me."

[long_memory]

"I will," Silver said with a smile. "Thank you again, Barry."
