On being missed

[redhanding]

You miss me? Well, that's just wonderful, but if you're going to do something with me, you should do it right. If you miss me, get on with it, and do something with it, instead of bemoaning that you don't have me anywhere.

Although if you're going to take me anywhere again, think it through, too. Don't rush things, you're messy when you rush.

You mean good things don't happen when you don't plan them out? Someone forgot to let me in on that little secret.

[redhanding]

Personally, I think a little planning goes a long way. Then you don't run into problems like accidentally dumping cargo and ending up frozen in Jabba's Palace, Solo.

[carbonite]

Hey, that's an Imperial problem. I did everything that I was supposed to do.

[redhanding]

Blaming the imperials is appropriate enough. They cause enough problems on their own.

[carbonite]

I'm glad you agree.

[latkje]

Alas! That absence makes the heart grow fonder, but does nothing to make hands grow less idle.

[redhanding]

Exactly. Missing is one thing, but she's got to plan if she's going to do anything with me.

[latkje]

And who wouldn't want to do something with you?

[redhanding]

That's what I'm wondering. I can't blame her for being a little attached.

[latkje]

Maybe you should try wearing a suit.

[redhanding]

It might work. She does have a preference, it seems. Unfortunately.

[latkje]

They often do. [He says with regret.]

[redhanding]

It's unfortunate. If only they'd branch out a little bit.

[latkje]

If you're the type for silver linings, at least not doing anything's better than some of the stuff they think up.

I can't decide if I want to be an optimist today, or not.

[redhanding]

It's a hard choice, isn't it?

To be fair, she's never done anything too terrible to me.

[latkje]

Yeah, I think I've gotten into worse adventures all by myself!

But I'm getting too old for that kind of thing.

[redhanding]

You and me both.

That doesn't seem to stop me from getting into trouble, though.

[latkje]

If I could set up an inn in this place called Trouble, I don't think I'd ever lack for customers.

Or company.

[redhanding]

Especially in a place around here. It seems this place attracts trouble almost as much as people like you and me.

[latkje]

Hey, if I settle down in Trouble, maybe it won't be able to find me.

[skywalkering]

Intuition is important too, though. You can't really think too hard about that.

[redhanding]

Skywalker, really? You know how I feel about that.

[skywalkering]

I know, I know. But it's important enough to say.

[redhanding]

Maybe. You know how I feel about looking at all the options before going in some place.

[skywalkering]

I do. I'm not saying it's bad, either.

[redhanding]

Of course not. I'm not saying there's anything bad with intuition either. [ GOD WHAT IS THIS TURNABOUT LUKE ]

Just that I don't prefer it.

[deadfool]

I'D DO IT RIGHT WITH YOU BABY

[redhanding]

What.

[deadfool]

Ah, speechless? I don't blame you, I am the best at sweeping ladies off their feet.

[redhanding]

I think you're lacking in a few skills to sweep me off my feet.

[deadfool]

Wait, are you sure??

[redhanding]

I'm positive. You're not my type.

[snidepiper]

They do seem to love rushing in, don't they. Indecisiveness seems like a prerequisite.

But if she misses you, that can't be a bad thing. Right?

[redhanding]

Probably not, she's a big fan. I just don't like being dropped off somewhere and left with no direction.

[snidepiper]

Oh, you mean here?

I thought she might be thinking about a game.

[redhanding]

She's considering it, but I'm sure yours knows how it goes.

[snidepiper]

Yeah, it has a number of phases.

"Excitement, obsession, hard work, backburner." Rinse and repeat.

She better not be serious about dumping me off alone and friendless in a city full of monsters and psychopaths, though.

What kind of place would you like to go? If you could pick.
