Traveling in a sardine can is only marginally more comfortable than being taken apart and reassembled.  One distinct advantage is the incredible view.  The shuttlecraft's approach is on hold so the pilot is treating the passengers to a low orbit tour.  Out the window the Pacific Ocean reflects the sun in a sparkling expanse.  The west coast of North America is coming into view.  Despite the disobedient butterflies in the pit of his stomach, Leonard is transfixed.

He wasn't the only one -- Rogue was completely captivated by the sight. Her hand was firmly in Leonard's, offering him what support she could since she knew all too well how uncomfortable traveling this like was for him. It didn't bother her in the slightest, thankfully, since she had her own nerves about this trip. There was no telling how she would react to being back on Earth, to seeing it the way it once had been, minus all the many technological advances. Would she benefit from all of this, or would it just make things worse?

She couldn't look away from that approaching land, the blue sky and shining water. Her grip on his hand tightened and this time she was the one needing comfort. "I don't know that I'll believe my own eyes when I see a city still standing," she admitted softly, nervousness creeping into her voice.

It wasn't exactly something she liked to talk about, so it wouldn't be surprising that he didn't full grasp what her world had been like. The therapist she'd once tried to talk to hadn't either, which wasn't really conducive to making her emotions clear.

Glancing at him for just a moment, she turned her gaze back to the window as she quietly answered, "I never got to find out."

There was so much she still hadn't told him about her life Before. About the war, the people she'd fought with, the things she'd experienced. She wanted to share every part of her life with him, but the strength simply wasn't there yet. Perhaps one day, she would be an open book with him as she wanted to be.

Leaning her cheek against his shoulder, she sighed deeply. "It's beautiful." And it was. A magnificently beautiful icon that had stood the test of time, as she hoped it would continue to do for centuries to come.

Before the days of war, she'd been happy. It hurt to think of those days because they were lost now, but she wanted to share them with him. She wanted to tell her handsome doctor about the handsome thief who stole her heart, paving the way for what they had now. Maybe this vacation together would help get them to that point a little faster.

"Is that an invitation?" she asked with a subtle smile, though the flirting in her tone was unmistakable.

"I'd love to," she answered without hesitation, sincerely meaning it. She'd never gotten to do the tourist thing in this part of her world, and spending time with him doing just about anything was never not enjoyable. Even watching him fill out paperwork had its merits, and this would undoubtedly be much more fun than that.

The question made her smile with amusement, recalling days long past with a fondness she'd never thought she'd have at the time. "I am, so long as it's not being stolen," she informed him. Understanding that her statement might need a tiny bit of explanation, she added, "My late husband was a thief, and there were a few occasions where a night at a gallery or private event turned into casing the joint."

Multitasking, Remy had called it. Bullshit had been her usual response.

She was glad his reaction was on the more pleasant end of the spectrum to what she'd received when revealing she'd been married to an art thief. Art, jewels, secrets - anything that came up with the right price and cause had been fair game for Remy LeBeau.

"Where's somewhere you'd like to visit?"

A bright grin spread across her face at his words. "It's been a hell of a long time since I had some good Chinese food," she commented, giving him an anvil-sized hint. They hadn't exactly been able to go out for any dates on the ship, so clearly they needed to make up for it.

That was exactly what she needed. A list of things to look forward to, promises of hours spent in each others company doing absolutely whatever they felt like. There was no pressure here, nothing demanding their time or attention except what they wanted. She was fully aware, though, that after a vacation like this, going back to life on the ship might not be so easy.

Her smile turned to one of utter adoration and she leaned in to press a kiss to his cheek. "Thank you for coming with me."

hellooooooo darling <3

"It's boring, that's what." Is she smiling too much? Hopefully not, because there's no stopping her.

Lifting a hand to comb her fingers through his hair, she tries to sound innocent and without any ulterior motive as she informs him, "You know I'm going to expect to hear all about your Academy shenanigans while we're here, right? Because Jim's told me all sorts of things and I really have to hear your side to these tall tales."

I'll wait forever for tags from you!

There was no helping the giggle that bubbled out of her at his protest. It was too perfect, that entire moment was perfect and she didn't want it to ever end.

"Yeah, see, that's definitely not the way he described things," she revealed with more than a little mischief in her eyes. "He said you could have just stayed behind, but you couldn't help yourself, you just had to go along with him."

"I love when you get all irritated," she told him with a laugh in her voice, leaning her head against his shoulder and sighing deeply. Happily. "You're so handsome when you look like you wanna wring Jim's neck."
