Happy Holidays❄️
While I drew this because it's still the Christmas season, there's actually some lore behind this. Before the haul at the Tulpar, Curly decided to walk her home after work. They talk about the upcoming haul and he asks if she'll come along because she usually doesn't come if it's a year long one or if it lands during holidays. Liezel always comes back to the Philippines for the holidays without fail but she's considers till she eventually decides that she'll be going.
They also do a good bit of flirting and banter here and there🙂↕️ Liezel talks about how she hates snow and winter, she never really got used to it but Curly is a winter kind of guy. He bets that if he can show her a good time via skiing, she might change her mind. In fact he offers her a skiing date once they return to Earth after the haul to which she agrees. It should have been their very first official "date".
But you know what happens in the end...
