( Nobody has made her smile like this, bright and warm and vivid. She even manages a soft laugh. Keeping close to him is not simply something she wants but needs as well. He's good for her. )
I think I would prefer an escort if you don't mind. I'm located in the apartment complex, but I can meet you outside.
( To be apart from him is both strange and familiar; he'd always been there, throughout her childhood. Ever watchful, but never allowed to be present. She only wonders now whether he's ever wanted to be.
The way he'd spoken to her on the ship had given her hope. And kindled in her a caring for him, regardless if others see him as a traitor or hero. Now, she would be closer to him than not.
He is alone and so is she, and that will not do for her, one way or the other. She worries, but does not want to fuss. As much as he would keep her safe, so would she do for him.
With a graceful dip of her head, she continues to smile. A miracle, she thinks privately. )
Yes, we should. I have here a 'dog crate' which I hope will hold him long enough for us to dine in peace. I'll leave him food and water.
And some rope. ( Her mouth quirks in mild, shy amusement. ) If you let me know when you arrive, I'll come down and meet you.
