Thirty-Sixth Down [Audio/English] [Locked 40% to Riley]

[conquistasal]

[Finally, Sal has sobered up. Not that he isn't paying for his trust with alcoholism, but he's much better right now than he has been for awhile. Actually coherent and conscious. It's a big step for him.Hey. Riley. I think we need t'talk, y'know. S'important. An' I got somethin' fer ya I never got 'round t'givin ya

[Well, it's good that Sal sounds sober, but Riley is more than a little wary about being told that he thinks they need to have an important talk. He's pleading, even.

Sigh.]

Alright. Where should I meet you?

[conquistasal]

[He considers asking her to come to his room, but maybe she'd like to be in public, but then again... maybe they shouldn't talk in public...]

Can y'come over t'my room? Er I can come t'yer's...

[reckless_riley]

[It would be a bad idea for Riley to have Sal over now, considering Gunn's napping there at the moment.]

No, it's fine. Be there in a sec.

[She pauses to grab her keycard, even if her door is always unlocked now with the ship being screwy, and then meanders down the hall to Sal's room.

She raps her knuckles on the door a couple times before she changes her mind.]

[Sal is... totally not waiting by his door for her. He almost immediately opens to door as soon as he hears her tap on it, but decides to wait a few seconds with his hand on the knob so she doesn't think he's too... eager.

When he does finally open the door, Sal holds his breath. And it hasn't been that long since he's seen Riley, so he shouldn't be surprised that she still looks the same, but he feels like it's been a long time.]

...hey.
