Hey, it's Alvin. Just leave a message and I'll get right back to you.

[it was a text he had not expected and it takes him a moment before he quickly sends out a reply.]

I'm sorry, Tali. Will you be okay? Need some company or something?

I'll be okay. Maybe. I don't know.

[There's a brief delay, before another text comes his way.]

Part of me wants to be alone, but the other doesn't. I'm on the floating mountain right now, but maybe I can meet you later?

Understandable.

You know where to find me, but if you want somewhere more quiet, I could always meet you somewhere else. Like the lake or something.

[There's a delay as she considers his suggestion, finally giving in.]

Alright. Meet you by the lake in an hour?

Sure thing.

[By the time the hour was up, Tali could be found sitting at the edge of the lake, her knees pulled up to her chest as she watched the water.

She had arrived there earlier, wanting to have a few moments of quiet by herself before Alvin was to arrive. But the more time that passed, the more she looked forward to his arrive. She was done wanting to be alone.]

[he took a little longer to get there, mostly to give her as much time as she needed to be by yourself. a little after the appointed time, he strolls up the path leading to the lake. after a bit of looking around, he spots her and makes his way over.]

I've never really come out here that often. Not too bad. Peaceful, quiet.

[She hears him approach but doesn't glance in his direction, keeping her attention on the water.]

I've watched it from the mountain, but never this close. It's....quiet.

[She says "quiet" as if she's not sure she likes it, and that's about the truth. She's used to noise, whether it was the hum of a ship's engine or the constant chatter of her crew. She doubted that was something she would ever stop missing.]

[he notices the tone.]

Wanna walk around?

[She finally turns to him, nodding at his idea.]

Yes, let's do that.

[It's better than sitting there and lingering on bad thoughts, so she moves to stand up, though she lets him take the lead on which way he wants to go.]

[leeeeet's just follow this path right on over here.]

So anything new with the hangar? Inventing anything interesting?

[have more unrelated topics.]
