MHA #7 | Wednesday Evening
This past weekend sure had been A Thing, hadn't it? And while nothing had happened to Faye, other than getting stuck with the cutest baby in this or any other galaxy (no, she would not be taking questions), she was a non-crappy enough person to know that that had all probably not been especially easy for Din. Or, rather, that Monday morning and the realization of how many people had seen his beautiful mustache had probably not been easy.
So, Wednesday night found her inviting people over to her apartment. On purpose. Look, stranger things had happened, surely, than Faye actually cleaning up and putting out drinks and snacks for company.
She'd even found some of those straws that Grogu liked, since, you know, this was more for his benefit and Stark's than for Din's. Call her crazy, but she didn't think this past weekend was gonna change much about certain be-helmeted individuals eating in front of other people.
[for an alien, an alien, and that guy who looks kinda like a shiny Boba Fett.]

And hopefully she put those delicious Korean skincare creams up because this kid had a craving for some snail jelly.
But for now, it was just Din, politely knocking

The Korean skincare lived on a very high shelf now, so if Grogu wanted snacks he'd have to use his telekinesis like a big boy.

Which was why Din wasn't letting him down right away. "Thanks. Your apartment is very... big."
Someone wasn't a party goer to know this was what most of them looked like.
no subject
And it was smaller than...most of the places she'd been. Smaller than Eric's, smaller than John's, smaller than Shunsui's -- though, that was kind of hard to say because the guy was such a slob. Though it was bigger than living on a ship, so maybe there was a skewed perspective here, too.
"Feeling more like yourself?" she added, unable to keep from smiling. "Sweetheart?"
She couldn't not.

Dying inside, shmying inside. She wasn't letting up that easy.

But she would have found him some snazzy white chaps if given more time.
"You were charming," she added, trying to temper it a little with a compliment.
no subject
"Thanks," he managed a bit dryly. "I guess it could have been worse."

Stark had had an older and less adorable (sorry Liam) alien child to deal with, Din had been a cowboy, Faye had been busy with the more adorable alien child...
Today seemed normal enough, so far, aside from being asked to come next door with other people there. So there was Stark, having made the extremely long walk from his own apartment, and knocking on the door.

"I wouldn't want to sneak up on you. There might be screams."
No, Stark, that was just you. Nobody else.
no subject
No, no it did not. Indignant yelling from Faye, maybe.
no subject
"Still. Knocking seems like a good idea."
no subject
Aww, memories.
no subject
"I might." The horror!
"Then where would we be?"
Well. Probably somewhere they'd been many times before.
no subject
Neighbor, singular.

"So how big a problem is it that we all saw your mustache?" She was always going to phrase it like that. The rest of his face had been there, sure, but she just needed to remind him that he was maintaining facial hair that barely anyone ever saw, apparently.
no subject
"I wasn't expecting the mustache. Or the rest of your face. I didn't know it was your face, at first."
no subject
"I haven't been without my armor around anyone since I was a child."
Well, that sure was something.
no subject
She had figured he was horribly disfigured or had a weird unibrow or something until she saw his face during shenanigans that day!
no subject
"That seems very lonely. Not seeing faces."
no subject
Crisis of faaaith.
no subject
Maybe this was a different Sabine. An ex or something. (Ooooh.)
no subject
Stark was used to different versions of people by this point.
