When: Day 6, afternoon
Where: The Ruined Hull
What: General exploration post!

[ The Ruined Hull has been unlocked! The go-team has been in the area for a while, the stay-team members who are so inclined have probably meandered over here somehow by now -- time to go exploring, but keep an eye on those suit power levels ♥ ]

[Forcing a smile on her face, she gives a little nod of her head.] Don't worry. I won't tell a soul.

[She thinks it's adorable, though. Being young and fancying someone brings back enough happy memories that her smile becomes a little more genuine.]

Are you sure you can keep up with her, though?

[ceruleo]

[ His posture softens as he realizes Clara won't make fun of him, a shy smile playing on his face. He rubs the back of his neck. ]

I dunno, probably not. [ For once, he's being honest; there's no point in doing otherwise. He's seen Ahsoka in action. ] That's kind of what I like, you know?

[ That she's impressive--he might call her inspiring, one day. But it doesn't change reality. ] Whatever. We're probably gonna wind up in the same club anyway, right?

[ex_bossily211]

Look at you. I can't imagine you having to be stuck in the same boat as me.

[This time, her smile is bright as she laughs. A hand reaches up to pat at his cheek, because it is very adorable and endearing to have him be so smitten with someone. ]

Besides, my club's meant for me and me alone. Alone and bitter, party of one. No room at the table for you too.

[ceruleo]

Yeah, yeah.

[ He ducks his head sharply with a tsk that somehow manages to communicate a wordless 'you're embarrassing me'. ]

I mean, I am pretty irresistible, right?

[ That cocky confidence is back, Lance's smile gleaming. He nudges Clara in the side, gently. ]

You shouldn't give up on yourself though, gorgeous! Plenty of fish in the, uh, desert.

[ex_bossily211]

Oh, if I were ten years younger, you'd definitely be in trouble.

[She dryly retorts, pleased that he's feeling confident once again. To the nudge to her side, she does manage a little scowl, if only because talking about herself and romance is a disaster.]

And while there may be plenty of fish lurking about, I'm not exactly...

[Desirable?

No, that's not the word she's looking for. She's got plenty of confidence when it comes to flirting, but Lance doesn't need to know that. This is about him, and not her. So she just sheepishly smiles and gives a little shrug.]

Doesn't matter, really.

[ceruleo]

Oh, come on! [ Arms akimbo, he considers her. She's way cute. She could get any guy here in a heartbeat. ] Not exactly what? You can't be shy about this stuff--you gotta put yourself out there!

[ Surely there are better role models than Lance, though. ]
