[ she is like two hundred and fifty years old so she's justified, but also, you are soooo young
she laughs at that first part. ]
I'll give you that. [ she glances over at the crowd, and then: ] That depends. You might like Lingsha. But there isn't a single person here who isn't worth talking to.
This will be your family for the next few years, Mr. Tozier. Cherish them.
[ she gives him a very warm smile, bringing her pipe back up to her lips. it's sort of picturesque, right? i'll see you later, under the stars, the night before the ignition. it's something you'll remember forever, a kindness from a stranger who welcomed you right into the fold.

she hums, giving him an amused look at the first bit. there's a bit of something flirty there, but in that like, okay, you, sort of way.
as for the rest, she taps her pipe out. ]
Just doing my duty. This world is worth protecting. [ ... ] You're young and excited. Keep that alive as long as you can. Take solace in people.

Anyway he mirrors that look, though without the "you kid" energy. One chance miss yukong please.]
That's not true. We've also got a killer sense of style and throw a damn good party. [He shrugs, gesturing out to the masses.]

Which one's that? [Actively looking.] But I don't doubt that. Anyone who's held out this long has got to be worth their weight in gold.
[And ah. Open sentimentality. He huffs, pulling another drag on his cigarette.]

You're certainly charming enough to look past the bugshit. [ she teases. ] I believe in you.

He laughs a little, mildly ducking the touch but not seriously. It is pretty forward but also she's cute as hell.]
Hey come on, I'm trying to make a good impression here! [His HAIR. Tousles it back in place.]
Thanks, though. I believe in you too.
[It may come in a tone of jest, but there's a thread of sincerity there. Her still being here is proof enough that he should.
Anyway he'll salute her, walking off with a smile.]
Take it easy, Yukong. I'll see you later.

and then that feeling passes. ]
I'll see you later, friend.
