Galen smiles into Bodhi's eyes, and puts down the tray. "Your stall smells best of all," he says. "Can I help you with any peeling or cutting?"

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"Not at the moment but in a little bit, I'll ask you to help me change the heat block in the oven. Did you know they burn wood here? I saw them stacking it for the evenings entertainment."

He gestured to the bonfire, all ready to be lit. "I could use that. Wood fire wouldn't be as efficient but it would give the bread balls an interesting flavour."

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"I'll go and ask them for some of it," Galen says. "Burning wood -- that is almost as weird as burning petroleum. Did you know they use it for fueling actual ground cars, with all the wheels and friction and so on?"

He seems horrified by the waste of resources, and the wasteful engineering of ground cars in the first place.

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

He pulls a face at that. Burning petroleum would stink.

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"Yes, that is what I thought," Galen agrees. "How can they?"

Pause.

"Burning wood, though, might make an interesting aroma. On Lah'mu, they smoked meat with dung from the same species. It was actually quite interesting."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"I've heard that. The wood I took off Eadu after-" After he offloaded the bloody crates. "It had a wonderful fragrance. I'd imagine it would smoke meat well."

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"Perhaps they wanted it for that," Galen muses. "Gourmet wood."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"Maybe I could build a smoke house and ask the bar for some." The project is intriguing.

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"Perhaps you don't even need a whole house for it," Galen says. "On Lah'mu, they have these large solar-powered barbecue grills that ca easily be used for it."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"Jedha's sun was never hot enough for that." He looks up at the sky as he prepares a stuffed bread for Galen. "But here where it's so warm. Do you know where we could get designs for those?"

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

Galen grins like a bantha on happy pills. "Me," he says. "I'll make one for tomorrow."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"I'll start researching what wood and meat go best together. Maybe experiment with different ones." He touches Galen's face softly. "Tomorrow. I thought tonight we could... try the bath in our room. Together."

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

Oh, Bodhi!

"Oh yes," Galen says. "Just the right thing after a day in the warm sun, with food and smoke and work and fun."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"I know things have been hard and I- I haven't been-" Ready? Okay? Right in the head. "But I want- if you're willing?"

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"More than willing," Galen says. "Eager. And mostly free of the bruises that stopped us, too."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

Bodhi draws him in, pressing forehead to forehead, touching their noses softly.

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"Bodhi," Galen whispers.

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"You know I love you." He whispers, very softly.

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"As I love you," Galen whispers back. "Isn't it marvellous how we can touch in public and be a couple, and nobody even minds?"

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

Bodhi ducks his head, colouring warmly. "I'm still not use to it. People are so- open here." He nods to where Sinric is kissing Emcee at the kissing booth.

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"They have learned to not be afraid any longer, and just do what comes natural," Galen says. "Under the Empire, we were constantly afraid of almost everything."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

Bodhi pulls Galen closer, just holding him. "I want to learn that too." There's an apology in his tone, for not being as quick to let go of his fear.

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"We will learn it together, slowly," Galen promises him. "Letting go of a deep, systemic fear is oddly difficult."

Re: Stalls and Games

[imthepilot]

"Thank you." For understanding. For staying. For still wanting a broken mess that Bodhi is now.

Re: Stalls and Games

[galen_erso]

"So," Galen says. "How about I get the wood you wanted, and then get started on the solar powered grill for tomorrow? And when the fair closes -- bath-time?"
