[Video] Tuesday of Week 31, late morning

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[This face right here is a very eager face. Luke is grinning ear to ear and his voice reaches decibels that make the sound system of his communicator clip slightly as he excitedly greets anyone listening in.]

Hey, we're in comm range again! Yup, that means we'll be home soon though I'm afraid I can't give exact details yet. Boy did I miss you guys.

Is anybody around?

[Some might notice that Luke is more chipper than usual. Sure, he'll be happy to talk to just about anyone who replies, especially friends, but those who know better will be well aware of the real source of his excitement. He's almost giddy at the idea of getting to see Kaylee again soon.]

[Luke's expression softens. He seems to truly empathize with the word 'lonely'.]

Yeah, I might have-- hang on.

[There are a few clicks and beeps heard, and the video blacks out and connects again, this time on a private channel.]
((FILTERED TO KAYLEE))

There. I might have made a few crew members uncomfortable with my, uh, loneliness.

[He gives a wry smile, completely unashamed in telling her just how much he missed her.]

[Kaylee has to giggle at that]

Didja now? Well... at least it ain't for much longer. I got plans.

[Not that there was ever any doubt, but her face makes it clear just what those plans involve]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Oh, you do? And what plans are those?

[Luke is a big fan of those kinds of plans and his big grin makes that evident.]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

The kind that involve packin' a lunch 'cause I'm gonna keep ya busy. Ya wouldn't believe how many nooks this place has got...

[Though she doesn't actually intend to leave the apartment...]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[That grin gets bigger if possible. Look how happy you make him, Kaylee.]

We can make all the noise we want...

[The idea of making Kaylee make noises gets a naughty little smirk out of Luke. Can you tell he's been thinking about coming home to their new, private apartment this whole trip?]

It just so happens that I have plans too. I can't tell you what they are, though.

[Yeah, that was definitely naughty and Luke knows it.]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

[She pouts, but it's clear in her eyes that she's only playing]

You're just gonna leave me hangin' like this?

[Because she's not leaving details on the whole apartment thing vague or anything]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

You bet I am. This is definitely worth waiting for and no matter how cute you are, you're not getting anything else out of me.

[He didn't mean for that to sound like a challenge but he realizes seconds later that that's what it sounded like.]

Besides, you like surprises.

[Quick, offer incentive. Distract her!]
