Rory wandered in earlier than usual in spite of what time this post is actually going up, and curled up at the desk with a notebook full of handwritten, highlighted notes as well as her laptop.

"I am," she says honestly. "I'm... really quite fine about it all. Maybe I've just gotten used to it."

"Wish I could," Rory says with a little smile. "So, you're not my neighbor anymore."

Aeryn smiles back. She kind of can't help it. "I didn't spend much time there anyway. It's only a bit further down the hall."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"It was usually the first place I looked for you," she admits, nodding and actually smiling.

"Sixty microts in the room and he was making me decorate," she says. Okay, this is about as close to giddy as Aeryn gets. Which seems like normal Aeryn unless you really know her.

And now Rory's really smiling. "Decorate?"

"I had some pictures that he insisted go up immediately," she explains. "I had him do half the work."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Which pictures?" she asks curiously.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"All to do with space, actually," she says. "A few posters he gave me, some pictures from Anakin and Isabel."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

She nods. "That makes sense. Do you miss it? Space in general, I mean."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

She nods. "Quite a bit, actually. But it isn't like I won't ever have an opportunity to go back, and I could occasionally go up if I wanted to, so. It's easier that way," she admits with a shrug.

"You should get Lukey to take you up in his ship!"

Yes, Rory still doesn't know Aeryn has one of her own.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"And I still do have to see it," she remembers. "But I know mine already."

See, now she knows.

Rory frowns. "Where are you hiding it?"

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"Junkyard," she says. "I made arrangements with Tex when I came back here to keep it under guard, though after John had to steal it, there wasn't much of a point in keeping it a secret."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"Can I fly it?" she asks curiously.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"No," she says. "One person has flown it besides me and he had training. And even then if I'd have known what he was doing before he did it, I never would have allowed it."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory pouts for just a moment, and then says, "What kind of ship is it?"

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"It's a Prowler," she answers. "A fighter ship where I come from. You can see it sometime, if you want." It's just the flying she's a little wary of.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Okay!" Rory says happily. "I've flown Lukey's starfighter. But only once, when we were in open space where I couldn't hurt anything."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"What'd you think?' she asks, curious.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It was fun," she says. "And easy to maneuver. He thinks I fly too slowly though."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"Did you sing, too?"

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It helps," she says solemnly. "But no."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

That's a good thiing, but she's not going to say that out loud. "How does it help?" she wonders.
