"  I  tend  to  have  repeat  customers.  Though,  I'll  admit,  I  wasn't  expecting  this  soon.  "  Perhaps  another  night,  or  even  another  lifetime,  he  simply  existed  as  the  days  passed.  Hoping  for  the  future,  reminiscing  in  the  past,  all  of  that  seemed  unimportant  nor  entertaining  for  one  that  lingered  in  dreams.  Without  second  thought,  Gallagher  proceeds  to  pour  the  other  a  drink,  remembering  their  initial  choice  last  time.

"  Sit  down  and  take  a  breather.  Seems  like  you've  been  busy.  "

Gaze of a wide-eyed trailblazer catches the tired hound off guard. A word of affirmation often came few & far between for someone like him. A man who's appearance soaked in lies & deception, now facing one of the more earnest moments in his life as truth soon is spoken from ( alleged ) fictionologist's lips.

Hand rests upon the trailblazer's shoulder. Eden's shoulder. His grip firm & without hesitancy, letting a warmth flow from him to her as he speaks.

" I'm very proud of how far you've come. Of you. I'm proud to say you are important to me." Even though their time was all but a drop of what could be, he knows enough to provide perception of who she was to him. What he saw. Strength, perseverance, adaptability, traits that one should value in themselves among the vast galaxy they exist in. Across hundreds, if not thousands of worlds, to cross paths with her has been... nothing but enlightening. Exhilarating. Hopeful.

Simper grows as hand is removed to gently nudge her chin upwards with the joint of a curled index to keep her head up. " While I don't believe that you needed me to say that, I did like getting to tell you that. " He thinks she deserves something nice like that once in a while at least. " If you ever need another pick-me-up, you know where to find me. "
