I'm not sure who's been saying what, sweet thing, but I'm lewd in the mornings, not crude. It's completely different. If you and your pants come down to my ship tonight, I'll show you.

Ringo frowned at her phone. That was Kathy's voice, but what did that message even mean?
"A threesome? With my roommate and Sparkle? What did I do to make you think I wanted anything like that?"
"Are you hallucinating? Running a fever?" Oh no! "Are you sick? Should I come over and check?"

"Hey Rey, it's Duke. Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be heading out of town for a few days for the holiday. Apparently it didn't occur to Bill to invite me before the day before the holiday. What can you do. I should be back in plenty of time for our next yoga session, but I pestered you about leaving so it's only fair that I let you know when I go, right?
"Anyway. I'll text you or something this weekend so you know I'm not dead. And see you next week. Happy Thanksgiving.
"Bye."

At some point today, Rey was going to find a large weapon rack with a note attached to it, waiting for her in the hallway.
It wasn't an especially fancy one, but it was solid and well made, beautifully stained and varnished, with places for every type of weapon that she'd brought back from Exandria — with room to add more.
The note read:
She'd figured moving it into the apartment wasn't going to be hard, anyway.

The note read:
Rey:
I said I was going to do this, and I did. Thanks for coming to help. I know it had to be rough, but maybe this will help a little bit?
Actually, this is thanks from Jester and Fjord, too. I asked them to find a place in Zadash to get this made, and they came through.
There's probably a dick carved in it somewhere, though. Because Jester.
Seriously though, thanks again. I'll return the favor if you ever need it.

Awww.
Once she was done, Rey sent a text that just said Thank you. We should talk soon, along with a picture of it set up. Because you better believe she did that right away.

In the predawn hours of Friday morning, Rey got a short text:
shes back

It was a good while after that that Rey actually checked her phone. (Who called her here?)
Well, that was good news. Surprising, but good.
What happened?

One would hope that delay would mean Duke got some sleep, but no. It’d probably be a little while before he did that.
He was too afraid she’d vanish on him again.
I looked up and there she was. Standing in the doorway to my galley.
She thinks she’s dreaming

So. Nowhere good.

But everything's ok now?
Rey and Octavia weren't close, so she didn't really know what that entailed. But it sounded fine.

If Rey was watching her phone she’d see the “...” of an impending message for a good long time while Duke decided how to answer.
she’s okay. Shaken up. A little lost maybe
It was seven years for her

"Hey Rey, it's Duke. Just wanted to let you know I'm heading out of town for awhile. So I'll miss our yoga session. I'll let you know when I'm back."
just got back. trip went okay.
You know, for a certain value of "okay".

Duke took a looooong time coming up with his answer to that.
I got SOME answers
Not the ones he'd gone looking for, no.

Rey blinked, not having expected that.
I'll do my best

Look, the answers he'd gotten in Haven were "all your ancestors gave in and killed people". So that meant looking for answers in a galaxy far far away, dammit.
