Syndulla Scrap, Thursday

[chirpchirpchirp]

Vette had some very important setup to do in the scrapyard today.

Super important.

Sure, she had all the electronic bits that she'd sorted out last week that she wasn't quite done with, and sure, she was still working on restoring that droid processor that she'd salvaged from that corroded miniprobe casing a while back, but today's project was so much more pressing than that.

Inspired by yesterday's field trip class, she was absolutely setting up a zipline from one side of the scrapyard to the other, starting at one wall, zipping over the chompy metal bits, and then coming to a rest just shy of the starship parking. She didn't have a proper harness, but some of the straps used for securing heavier scrap worked in a pinch, and there was plenty of metal cable to run, so the line itself was totally secure.

Was it a good idea? Nah, probably not.

But was it a fun idea?

Absolutely. And hey, if this worked, maybe she'd start trying to figure out how to run one from the top of the dorms down the hill to the beach or something. A girl could dream, anyway.

Even though Sidon knew he'd be seeing Vette tomorrow for the two (two!) classes they actually shared this semester, he was feeling as though he'd been terribly remiss in his position as boyfriend since they got back from Hyrule, wrapped up as they were in the new semester. And though he had no intention of moving about in the chilled weather any more than necessary, he still wanted to do something nice to remind her that he was thinking about her and that he wanted to make her day just a little bit better.

He was sure she'd be hard at work on something since it was her scrapyard day, but he also didn't imagine she'd be too bothered by a small interruption that afternoon as he'd called Sushi Station from the shelter and arranged for them to deliver to her some food, requesting them to make the spiciest roll they could manage. Then he went back to his work of tending to the animals, content in the idea that the small gesture would, at the very least, be appreciated.

And if he'd only have known, he'd have been faintly dismayed that he couldn't have arranged for it to be delivered by zipline as well.

Hey, hey Sidon?

Your phone was getting a text message sent to it. One that had no text at all.

But it did have about thirty blue heart emojis, so that was good too, right?
