Episode III: Phone confession [Public]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[The phone line is picked up rather suddenly, as if the speaker didn't know he was going to be talking on the phone a second ago.]

Kaylee, I think you're beautiful. You're confident and fun and the fact that you know more about machines than I do turns me on.

I like you a lot. A lot.

[Suddenly the line is silent except for a small puff of breath. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on. Then the phone is promptly hung up.]

[Call him back and ask him what the hell that was all about?]

Comments

[wrench_and_ruffles]

I am!

[Probably a little too enthusiastic, but she's always liked to be upfront about things]

Really ain't much to do 'cept for tinkerin' and that ain't goin' anywhere.

[That's right. She'll pass up mucking with engines for you.]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Perfect. [That's okay. Her enthusiasm matches his own.]

You know, sometime I want you to show me what you've been working on. It's hard not to notice the technology around here is pretty lacking. You could probably help out a lot of people with some handy inventions. I've been thinking about doing that myself.

[She might be dancing around a bit. Inside her head, at any rate.]

The heater was pretty handy when the power went out. Mostly I've been seeing how much I can get the car here to do. It ain't much, but it gives me somethin' to work at.
