...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.
...But I also absolutely approve of fancy hotel rooms.

[That tone suggests he has absolutely noticed she has NOT BEEN for a while. He wants her to have that back again. She deserves it. ]
You should totally get him flowers.

I know. [He rubs his free hand on his chest with some real pride. ] But I figure, why not? It's romantic as hell, right?
