closed event starter for @cravked !
it’s seems strange to enjoy himself at an event like this, but when he’s not working, when he’s surrounded by so much celebration and hope in the air it’s hard not to enjoy himself. and.. okay, maybe it’s just nice not to feel so weighed down for once. things are going well with the rebellion, the new republic is lined up to bring the empire to a close. and cal - while he’s not entirely himself yet.. he finally feels like he’s ready to move past what happened.
things are going so surprisingly well, he doesn’t even mind seeing trilla show up here of all places. if anything, after their last encounter, cal actually smiles. strange as it is, he’s glad to see her. he can’t imagine she’s here to work after all, this probably isn’t the ideal situation to try and smuggle someone away from what’s left of the empire. “here to join the party?” he asks with a smile, waving around at the festivities. he’s not exactly sure if she would want to hang around in any kind of social situation. it’s not like they have that kind of connection after all. but cal’s reasonably certain they’re not enemies anymore. and she’s done plenty to help him out where she certainly didn’t have to. maybe that classifies them as something closer to friends. “i was just about to find something to eat. company wouldn’t be the worst thing on the planet.”
