Spaaaace, just outside of Mars' orbit | Monday Afternoon

Mars was the closest planet in the solar system, regardless of whether you went to the robot-inhabited version of 2021 or caught a portal to take you to the densely-populated version of Faye's time, and so that was where she had decided to take Stark for that promised, non-hole-related ride in her ship. They could have gone further, but Faye didn't especially feel like passing through a gate and paying the associated toll -- or, honestly, letting her ship be seen at an official checkpoint, if she could help it.

Plus, Mars had cities, which meant nightlife. And this was, after all, a date. Faye could even admit it.

"All right," Faye noted quietly -- given that it was still a very snug fit in the Red Tail's cockpit, she really could keep her voice fairly low -- as she gestured out the windshield to a green spot on the red planet. "So that's Tharsis, where we're headed. Still doing good?"

He seemed like he was doing fine, but Faye had found that checking in with Stark was just a thing she'd started doing since the whole hole thing, regardless.

[for the space date and NFB for distance, self.]

"Eventually," Stark repeated with a small nod before lifting his glass once more. He did need to work up to it. But if he was willing to dance he would certainly be willing to indulge her in whatever she had in mind for that detour later.

"I'll try not to take too long. So you don't have to wait."

Did that mean he was something good and worth waiting for? That's how he took that, and looked down at the bartop for a moment.

"You've been patient with me." Sometimes. That time she broke in she hadn't been particularly patient. That had worked out well though. "When I needed it. I can't promise the dancing will be worth the wait."
