Flight Club [Flight Shed]

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin was out a little earlier than usual at the flight shed, giving himself some extra sim time since he'd been slacking off on that particular activity for awhile. It was way too easy to be lazy.

But, he was outside the shed, greeting the club members when meeting time came around. There were snacks and drinks, ready to be consumed (no alcohol as much as some people might like it after yesterday).

"Hey everyone," Gavin greeted after everyone arrived. "Last week, we did atmosphere flying. Today, we're gonna hit space. I've tried to give you all options on which ship you wanna fly. They're all different, with different controls and different ways of handling so you'll have to take some time to get used to the controls. I've set the sim up to this planet's galaxy and what you'll be doing is navigating your choice of ship around the Earth. No, you don't have to get all the way around but using the Earth as sort of a road will allow you to move around without fear of getting lost."

He opened the door to the shed and nodded. "First up?"

"Too much?"

"Yes," she said, and stuck her tongue out at him. "And I never want to picture your father in a leotard ever again."

"Gah!" Ben made a face. "Sorry."

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[weetuskenraider]

"I can picture you in a leotard instead?" she offered.

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[momslilassassin]

"I'm not sure that's much better," he said with a shy laugh.

"I'd rather picture that than your dad," Tahiri said; her ears were turning slightly red. "It's . . . kind of cute in my head."

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[momslilassassin]

"You will never, ever find out," he said.

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[weetuskenraider]

"Not ever?" She put on a disappointed look. "I can't even try to convince you?"

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[momslilassassin]

"Depends on the convincing," Ben said, "but probably not."

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri heaved an unnecessarily melodramatic sigh. "I guess I'll just have to get by with the mental image, then."

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[momslilassassin]

"Now I'm going to be paranoid," Ben complained. "Every time you smile, I'll wonder 'is it me, or the mental image of me in a leotard?'"

No he wouldn't.

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[weetuskenraider]

"You always make me smile," Tahiri told him. "I don't need the mental image for that."

Pause.

"Even if it is funny."

If all of his relatives hadn't been in the room, he would've kissed her.

"I'm glad I amuse you," he said with a grin.

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[weetuskenraider]

"You're very useful that way," Tahiri told him. As much as she was trying to keep it under control, there might have been just a touch of dorkiness sneaking out in her answering grin.

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[momslilassassin]

Ben smiled dorkily back.

Hugely subtle. Really.

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[weetuskenraider]

That just made her own grin even dorkier. Because that was so low-key.

Re: Mingle and Snack!

[momslilassassin]

Yeah, they were kind of failing hard at sneaky.
