Mmm. I should have thrown a 'fabulous' in there, too, shouldn't I have? Ah well.
[While she knew he wouldn't say no, she still can't help the grin that spreads across her face. It's been a long time since she's been this happy.]
Perfect! He's got the lab augment, too, so we'll have a med bay again and a medic. Though, him as a medic is going to be entertaining, to say the least.
[Alistair's usually the one NEEDING to be patched up, not the other way around. Luckily the augment will help fill in the gaps.
At his teasing question, Riona laughs a little.]
Why yes, he is. I am quite fond of him, I have to say.
You know, that spiel was absolutely missing a fabulous.
Oh wow, that's lucky! I mean, I'm gonna miss Shay, but wow do we need a medic, even one that's not like...the greatest. His augment will help him out on that, right?
[They can but hope. Sokka's just...grinning from ear to ear, happy to see HER happy.]
I kind of got that impression. I'm really glad it finally worked out for you, Riona- that you have him here. You deserve it.
As will I, but you're right. Given how many fighters we have on board, we need one. Of course, said medic is also one, but we'll figure it out. His augment should help him through it.
[Alistair operating the medical equipment will be a sight to see.]
Can you believe it? I never thought Atroma would bring him here. Of course, not without a complication or two, but... we'll figure it out. Though I'm a little peeved they brought him when we're trapped on a planet full of cannibals and he has none of his armor or weapons.
Well, that's good too. That means we can have a field medic. Someone who can look after himself while keeping all of us from falling apart.
[This is the level of desperation they're at. ]
That sounds about right for Atroma- make it as drama-fulled as possible. [There's a pause, then gently: ] What sort of complications? You wanna talk about it?
...Theoretically, yes. [Oh boy is it a hell of a level to be at. Alistair's going to have his work cut out for him.]
Mostly just that he's from the past. Same age I was when I first came to the fleet, so there's a decade between us. We've been avoiding having that discussion due to our circumstances, but I made it clear we ARE going to have to have one. Likely once we're back in space and drifting.
I will absolutely and completely take theoretically at this point.
[Ah. This is something he has been afraid of happening with Suki for...quite some time now. He's been here a while, he's grown up, while chances are, Suki has not. It's a genuine fear, and it's not comforting to know it has happened to Riona. ]
...I'm sorry, that's got to be hard. Ten years is a long time. [Longer than he and Suki would have between them, that's for sure. ] I hope you two will be able to work it out.
[Gotta love a captain who's not choosy. Which, is a good thing where the fleet is concerned...
Riona smiles a little and shrugs. Honestly, she's not quite sure how well it'll go over. It might not be a big deal. It might become a problem later. It could be trouble sooner rather than later. Who knows?]
It is. But he's still Alistair and I'm still Riona, even if I have a decade more maturity under my belt. We'll weather it as we've always done. At least he's here. [She pauses, then smiles a little sheepishly.] And uh, apologies in advance.
Okay no, I'm not. Though I will feel a tiny teensy bit bad. [Totally need to get earbuds for everyone at the next stop. And maybe sweets as an extra apology for the upcoming drift fleet, granted they manage to get off the forsaken planet alive.] Maybe we'll find another place like Hotel Corona with all those different room options.
Nor should you be. You've been waiting for this for a while.
[He brightens. ]
Yeah! We could really use someplace like that. You could have a fancy meal, have a dance, go enjoy private time not on the ship. It'll be great for everyone.
We could go on a date, as I've heard it called. A night out to ourselves. Hopefully it'll be a place for something for everyone. After all this, we need a nice break. Maybe a place with a beach.
[That tone's not lost on her. Sokka's always been aware, even as much as she tried to pretend everything was fine. But at least he doesn't have to worry anymore?]
What a novel idea, huh? Being happy. I plan on making the most of it, I promise.
[She laughs brightly.]
Flowers! Oh, I absolutely should! And roses, too, of course. Or whatever nearest equivalent they'll have. You're a genius.

Awww, that's actually pretty sweet. [A pause. ] The romantic part, not the other part. I'll have to invest in earplugs for the other part.

You are not sorry, not even a tiny bit. But it's cool. I get it, I really am happy for you.
