Anju
His eagerness - which would normally be aggravating to Anju from any other man - is somehow endearing, and her smile is small but undeniably charmed. They couldn’t be more different people, and yet it somehow works. Riya’s distinct smugness is felt like a glaring neon sign, but Anju only spares her an internal eye roll. “I would like that. Perhaps I can meet your dogs and Deimos at the same visit?” Surely she could spend a couple days in Halo, they must have an inn of some sort.
The thought of this future trip helps her through the pain of adjusting into the new makeshift transporter they’ve made, and though her mouth is still tight she manages an intrigued expression when he shows her his cuff. The offer is unexpected, but it softens her normally rigid, stoic features into something touched. “You are very kind, Tal. Thank you. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t come across me.” And she will repay him for that someday, in eternal loyalty if nothing else.
