It had been a pretty tense trip. Moist wasn't very suited for battle- maybe devising them, maybe even leading troops. He could sell anything. But selling was different than fighting, and Duo was even better at one than the other. And things with Heero...
He wasn't ready to deal with it, himself. He couldn't imagine where that put Moist.
With Quatre happily preoccupied with Trowa, Duo didn't feel too bad about grabbing a shuttle and taking off. Getting out of the atmosphere was always tricky, just because people monitored that kinda thing, but once they'd gone from the soft powder blue into the black, everything seemed pretty okay. Space. Duo hadn't even realized he'd missed it, not like this.
And turning like a great metal wheel in the lee of the moon was his colony. He would rather have gone to L1, or even L3, but the mission needed a stop at L2, and Duo had wanted to get out to space, and to the others, it made sense that he go. Even if he was pretty sure none of this was real, or counted for anything, it was still difficult to explain to them. He didn't want to try. So there they were.
"See the moon?" he said to Moist, trying not to feel awkward. It had been a quiet trip.
"See the grey ring-kinda thing in its shadow?" He flipped a few switches and the shuttle started to curve gently in its course.
"Home sweet home, right there."
