Well that explains things. [She teases softly, leaning into him more than she probably should. One of her hand moves to find his on her shoulder, the other reaching out to trail over the scruff of his jaw as he talks, her expression turning serious.
Her brow furrows, and she shakes her head.] If you had told me before... This place? Then no, I wouldn't have believed you. Now? [She squeezes his hand.] Tell me about her, and how you met when you were so old.
(Sam leaned into her touch, his eyes falling closed with a contented sigh. He reacts to the squeeze by opening his eyes, grinning sheepishly.)
Sorry.I should be more upset by this. (he gestures between them.) But if it had to be anyone, I am glad it was you,V.
(He took his time undoing each button and fastening until the dress was loose enough to slip off. )
She was the best and I am glad that she was given another chance to live even if it was for a short while. but... that is a story for another time. Tell me about your world?
[It's still strange to have this sort of effect on anyone, much less someone who looks like Sam, but she's acquired enough experience at this point to doubt it less and less, the authenticity of the reciprocation. She can't help but smile when he does, releasing his hand so he can more easily fuss with her formidable dress.
She's quiet a moment, but nods in agreement, her expression growing more serious again.] I agree. Obi-Wan and I had similar logic, and that worked as well as it could... Until it didn't. [There's still a heavy, conflicted sadness when it comes to Obi-Wan, and she doesn't think that's much fair to either Sam or the Jedi. Or her, honestly.
As he answers, she works on stepping out of the dress with as much grace as she can manage, left in the undergarments befitting the time period, which at least allowed her to breathe better.]
It's nice that you had that chance, brief as it was. It seems like it gave you something good and worthwhile. [And at his question.] My world? Earth 2004. My friends and I solved mysteries in our hometown as teenagers, then again later after a break... [Velma can't help the pride that creeps into her expression.] When I worked at NASA.
