[ today, gaila was working in a maintenance conduit. a fried circuit was leading to a minor malfunction one of the screens in the habitat ring. it was trivial work, but she liked familiarising herself with the technology. as soon as holly located the source of the problem, gaila was eager to get to fixing it ( Read more... )

[Julian had given Gaila a few days, hoping against hope that she'd come to some kind of realisation that she missed him terribly as well. And that maybe, it was worth trying again. But she hadn't made any kind of contact ( ... )

[ she forcibly kept herself from humming while she worked - in fact, she hadn't hummed in days. at first she tried a couple songs she hadn't heard in a while, ones that didn't remind her of him, but it took all the ease and simplicity out of the act, so she decided to just stop. it would feel natural again eventually.

thus, she was accustomed to the silence surrounding her, having tuned out the station's noises - and she was very aware of someone approaching, albeit slowly and none-too-gracefully. she'd thought holly would tell anyone else concerned about the malfunction that there was already someone working on it, but perhaps not. so, not being bothered to take her eyes off the job, she yelled without looking. ]

I've almost got it, thanks! I don't need any help!

[Even though his heart was clamoring nervously in his chest, and his throat felt suddenly dry and as if he'd gotten something lodged in it, Julian forced himself to call out casually in return:]

Well, that's a relief. Because despite my extension courses, I doubt I'd have a bloody clue what you were doing.

[ gaila froze. she'd been living the past couple of days blissfully (or perhaps not so blissfully, were she not in denial) note-free, and she thought that meant it was the end of it. returning kuka would be closing the case. but there he was, with absolutely no feasible reason to be there except to see her.

reluctantly, she turned her head toward him. ]

I thought we had an agreement.
