Nihi Sumba, Sumba Island, Indonesia, Monday Evening

[so_hawkward]

The sun might be setting, but the temperatures are barely dropping, and there's still plenty to do if relaxing for the evening isn't your idea of fun.

"If you can't relax in a place like this," Summer said, shaking her head a little as she looked around and just soaked it all in for about the millionth time since arriving, "you're probably hopeless."

"I'm relaxing now!" Mostly.

"Maybe tomorrow I'll relax even more. Any recommendations?"

He might even end up very relaxed on Wednesday due to the room party!

"Swimming is very relaxing," Summer offered. "Sitting on the beach and working on a tan is also very relaxing. We could hit up the spaaaaaa..."

"I only ever went to a spa once. With you and Rey and Annie. I...didn't do a very good job relaxing then," Stark said unnecessarily. "Maybe I ought to try again."

"It's hard to top the Space Spa," Summer noted, "but you're also way more relaxed to begin with than you were back then, so you've got that going for you. I bet this place can really pull its weight in the spa-game, though."

"Maybe I'll try that again someday too." If he ever got invited again.

"I am though. Better than I was then." Better in nearly every way except for there were now more people he felt awkward around after last week. Oops?

"You've helped. With that."

There was a little pause, as if some mental equivalent of a construction worker in a reflective vest started waving a warning flag that the path ahead had the potential to be rife with danger.

So she carefully veered toward a comfortably vague "I help with a lot of things," with a shrug to match. "I'm just--"

She was going to say good like that, but, ohgod, what if that just lead him to agree? Ugh.

"--a helpful person," she tried.

Re: Kasambi Estate: Main Area

[stykera]

"You are." What, like he wasn't going to agree with that?

"Did you learn to make these drinks that Anakin did, too?"

Re: Kasambi Estate: Main Area

[somethingwithturquoise]

That, he could agree with. Summer's helpfulness was, like, a universal truth now, borne from that ever-present desperation to avoid the inevitable state of being expendable.

"I did," she informed him with a proud nod. "I thought it would be fun and useful. Especially for rubbing in Tino's face when we get back."

Re: Kasambi Estate: Main Area

[stykera]

Expendable was not a word Stark would ever use for Summer.

"Were there other ones besides the one that changes color?"

And obviously Summer's version would be better than Anakin's.
