[Hawk's on the observation deck, hands tucked into pockets. He's a little restless and shifting from foot to foot, though he's trying not to let that show too much.] Amazing view, isn't it? I've never seen the stars this close. [quietly, mostly to himself] I wonder if the Holyland would be like this.

[attention attention on the CAT, now]

[Already there on the deck! Cissie waves at Hawk.] You said something about a farewell party?

... I don't think I can say good-bye to someone I've never met, so. [she smiles, holding out a hand] How about we say 'hello until we meet again?'

[desertdaggers]

[he grins, and takes her hand to shake that] Good point. Hello, then! I'm Hawk.

…if- or when- we do, I hope it'll be under better circumstances.

[alwaysanarcher]

Cissie King-Jones! [returns that smile]

Who knows? At this point, I've learned to never say never about anything.

[desertdaggers]

Cassie King-Jones… [nods to himself, memorising it] All right! Do you mind if I just call you Cassie? [learning to work out last names~ /o/]

I suppose it might be too much to hope that we'd get to stay at home. [small laugh] Maybe they'll ask next time.

What do you think we should get?

[desertdaggers]

[turns and grins] Well, we got through to the Mayor! A celebration seems in order. What do you think we should get?

[desertdaggers]

Well, of course! What kind?

We can get music? How? Performers? [looks puzzled]

[She's not so sure she's in a mood to party, but she comes to meet Mister Hawk on the observation deck with food in hand and a smile on her face.]

Hello, Mister Hawk. An unbelievable ending, isn't it? [Indicates the spaceship and the stars.]

[desertdaggers]

Who would've thought it? [he turns to look at her, grinning] We get really clear nights back home, but this- we must be a lot closer! How do they do it? And- just Hawk's fine. After everything!

Can I try some? [indicates the food]

[wind_of_reason]

[Fuu can't help but laugh at that!]
Oh, a lot closer indeed! If I understand our situation correctly, we are on a starship. [She can't help but have her voice resonate with excitement at that.] We are sailing among the stars.

[Smile~!] Thank you, ...Hawk.

Oh! [She finds a nearby table and unwraps what she'd brought. Neatly arranged in the top of a lacquered box is a lovely assortment of sushi.]
I'm very sorry I couldn't make something myself, but they do have quite good sushi here. [Hands Hawk a pair of chopsticks.] Please, try any one you like.

[desertdaggers]

[his face lights up] Sailing among the stars! That's amazing! Though I suppose it'd be dangerous to try and touch them.

[smiles back!]

Ah, that's all right. Maybe we'll get another chance sometime. [takes the chopsticks and goes for one of the pieces wrapped in seaweed. He's not very skillfull with them, and ends up catching the piece in one hand and popping it in his mouth. He gives her a sheepish grin.] These're a little tricky to use, huh?
