( Brush brush brush, someone is brush brush brushing their teeth and that person's name is Jules! But the others are out, so she's jogging to answer the door, toothbrush and paste still in action.

The door swings open, and she waves, tries to say "Peter!" but it comes out more like "Perdeh!" Okay, she'll wave for him to come in, and is going to just disappear to the bathroom for a second. )

[perdre]

[Woops. He didn't mean to come in the middle of something. Was she about to leave-?]

He - hey.

[That's a lame little wave with his hand before he steps in, plush still neatly kept behind his back. He looks around noncommittally, waiting for her triumphant return.]

[affections]

( It's really just a second, and then she's back, positively beaming. ) Hello. How are you today?

( so... so chipper. As if the last time they spoke hadn't involved her busting some heartbreaking news on him. Welp. )

[perdre]

I'm good. [he nods, lips somewhere lost in an attempt to smile.] How are you?

[affections]

Great! I'm fantastic.

( A moment and-- ) And being a terrible hostess, apparently. Would you like tea? Coffee? Wine? Also beer and vodka are available.

( What time of day is it? Does it matter? )

[perdre]

Tea is fine. [Blame Freddie for giving him that acquired taste.

... On the other hand, let's not think about him.]

I have something for you. [and out comes the plush. He feels a little dumb holding it out like that.]

[affections]

( She is going to step towards the kitchen when he holds out the plush, and she laughs, delighted. Surprised, definitely, but mostly delighted. )

Thank you, it's-- ( Jules takes it, carefully, grinning as she holds it ) Gosh, it's adorable. What's this for?

( Okay now he is totes getting a hug DEAL WITH IT )

[perdre]

[OH A HUG okay

his arms are still hanging up in a half-hug why are you so friendly]

I just wanted to get you something. [sheepish hand on his nape welp] It's no big deal.

[smile desu]

[affections]

( Well, Peter is officially lovely. )

It's brilliant, thank you.

( But-- ) I don't have anything for you! ( :C the saddest pout, as she hugs the plushie to her chest. ) I will get you that tea right away, and then I will calculate appropriate revenge.

( For the adorable lovely gift. )

[perdre]

It's fine, really - [wavey hand no really don't bother!!] I'm just glad you like it. Uhm - how have you been?

[affections]

Things have been fabulous, as always. ( Her smile is just slightly rueful. ) We've found ourselves in a strange city, Peter.

( To say the least. Anyway, she is going to steer him towards the kitchen and to sit at the table, before she pops the kettle on. )

There are some lovely people here, as it turns out. Have you met many good people?

[perdre]

Oh - yes. [he nods, polite smile and everything, hands clasped between his legs, slightly slouched in his seat.] You'll never guess who my new roommate is.

[affections]

No? Who? I simply must know.

( And getting out cups, milk, sugar-- ) Do you like oat and raisin biscuits?

( gurl )

[perdre]

Mhm, [nodding again, arched brows, now biting softly on his lower lip. As soon as that's taken care of, he goes ahead and satisfies the lady's curiosity.] Han Solo. Like - the Han Solo.
