Cal is at a table in the middle of Milliways, as per usual. He also has his usual mug of raktajino.

Slightly less usual is the small scarlet feather he's studying, twirling it contemplatively between his fingers.

Bela walks down the stairs, smiling when she sees Cal.

"Hey," she says, going over to him. "It's good to see you."

Cal looks up from the feather and smiles himself, getting up to greet Bela with a kiss.

"Hey," he says. "How've you been?"

She slides her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tight.

"Okay. Hiding out here for a little while."

He wraps his arms around her.

"How's it going back home?" he asks quietly, even though the answer is plain as day just from looking at her.
