[That's a relief, even if it wasn't soon enough to stop what happened to Alderaan. Ezra's still going to try to prevent that, if he can find a way, but it's at least something to know that there's hope, even if he fails.
Though speaking of preventing it, what better way than by learning how they destroy it in the future?
Besides, it sounds like a good story.]
Sure, I'd love to hear it, if you've got time.

[Well that makes more sense to her. Eleanor may have suggested the idea in the first place, but it could've been because she thought it was something Leia wanted to do, as far as Leia knows.]
How much did she have done?
How much did she have done?
Hmm... she mentioned trying out the other services afterward, though I'm not sure how many. [At least a pedicure, and a follow up manicure, and anything else she might have liked.]
And she's not someone that usually treats themselves... though I think she's been enjoying the process. [Riza Hawkeye does carry a quiet confidence about her, whether or not she's aware of that, which Eleanor had come to admire about her after getting to know her better, anyway.]

[Someone who doesn't usually treat themselves, well, that sort of sounds like someone she can relate to. Though it's more someone with no time or ability to treat themselves due to difficult circumstances, but close enough.]
Well, that's a good enough recommendation of the rest of their services, if someone like that can enjoy it.

I have time.
[Well, she can make time, because it's an important story to share. And Ezra, as a part of the rebellion deserves to know. And it's not just that, he needs to know, more because it's owed to the people whose lives were lost. Their story has to live on where they couldn't.]
It's a long story, depending on where we start.

Indeed. And it's always nice to know for ourselves, for future reference. [Since as much as Leia throws the focus toward Eleanor's issues, she can tell there's more going on with the younger woman than what she lets on.
And there's the door. Eleanor moves ahead to open it with her good arm if Leia doesn't move to do so first.]

[She'll allow Eleanor to open it, since she got there first, but in return, Leia arranges for their manicures and pedicures. Because Eleanor mentioned it before, so they're doing the whole thing. And not just her, because if she's going to do it, Eleanor is doing the same, that's just the rule.]
Do you want to pick out a color first, or do you want them to pick one for us?
Do you want to pick out a color first, or do you want them to pick one for us?
[She hadn't expected Leia to immediately arrange that... ah, well. She taps a finger to her cheek thoughtfully at the question.]
Hmm... how about we choose the colors for each other? That should be fun.

[Leia breaks into a smile at that suggestion. It sounds like a good enough idea for her, and it's what she and Sonia had done when they had visited. It turned out fun for the both of them.
Because it's winter, Leia scans the shelves looking for a color that's more appropriate for the season, and she comes back with a pale blue polish that almost shimmers under the right light.]
How's this?

[Chewie probably makes sure it stays to how Han would have wanted it. Poe probably wouldn't ever bring it up unless she were to ask. But even what he would say to that point in time. Well, he'll use charm.]
I don't mind getting my hands dirty though. Beebee-Ate is a good sidekick. I know, I hope that he'll always be around. It was nice to see that this land can give nice things. If you ever need his help don't be afraid to ask.

I won't.
[She might not ask as often as she would if she had her own droid to help her out here, but there's no reason to hesitate to ask for help, especially from someone like Poe, that she trusts to do what's important.]
Of course, I'd hope you would come along with him if I need his help. I'm sure we could find something for you to do, as well.

It's not that bad though. Getting your hands dirty every so often is a good feeling.
[Poe wouldn't mind coming by to help her out with things along with his droid. That's why the offer would be there.]
I will be around with him. As much as I wouldn't mind him roaming around on his own. He doesn't need to do that. I don't want anything to happen to him. But I wouldn't mind getting put to work. [He gives a small smile.] You should know that by now.

[She understands where Poe's coming from about not wanting anything to happen to BB-8, but at the same time, it's kind of cute. It's like he's a worried parent concerned about his child.]
I do. And if Beebee-ate has no objections, I can absolutely find something for the three of us to do.
[Either around the house, or as a task. Both are good ways to spend time with Poe.]

[While Leia had been selecting a polish, Eleanor had conducted some of her own perusal of the shelves before meeting Leia with a choice of her own, hopefully subtle enough to match Leia's tastes while still being striking in some way.
She smiles appreciatively at the selection Leia greets her with.]
I have to say, that's a very lovely color! What do you think of this one?

[It isn't the sort of color Leia would have chosen for herself, but that's why Eleanor was there, wasn't it? It's a pretty color, and she likes it. So, she smiles appreciatively, nodding at Eleanor's color choice.]
I think I have a few pieces of jewelry that would match that color beautifully.
[Smaller pieces, less obtrusive pieces, ones she won't feel strange wearing.
But with that, they're being waved over to their chairs, so Leia follows the salon tech, expecting Eleanor to be just behind her.]

[She follows after Leia and the Salon Tech once they begin moving.]
Really? You'll have to show me sometime.
[It's not a busy part of the day, though there are a handful of regular customers seated in other chairs further down from where they're led to, their conversation a mild level of chattering that quiets a little once they reach the seats.]

I don't wear them often, not unless there's an occasion that calls for it. But next time I can remember to wear one.
[makeup, that she wears regularly, for the sake of keeping up appearances and disguising how poorly she may be sleeping. (Not that the second reason applied as much in Verens anymore) but jewelry was a bit too flashy, a bit too flamboyant, a bit out of place on a military installation, especially if you're a princess and looking to be taken seriously and respected by everyone on that base as more than just a figurehead for the rebellion.
While the two are talking, the nail techs move their hands to where it's easier for them to do their jobs, and start buffing and prepping their nails.]

[Poe has told BB-8 that he would come back for him when in fact he headed for the Finalizer. But he had to lie so that BB-8 could get away. That was something he would hope to never have to do again. His astromech is good to plan for surprises too. BB-8 has rescued him when he needed it before.]
Beebee-Ate won't have any objections. Isn't that right, buddy?
[The droid rolls over to Leia looking up at her.] Breeebooo!
We're always ready to offer help. I'm sure you can find something for all of us to do. I have no doubt in that. Has your family life got any better?

[She's not sure what BB-8 said, beyond some confirmation of what Poe already said, but she gives the droid a grateful smile nonetheless. At Poe's question, though, her attention shifts back to him. Leia purses her lips, not entirely sure how to or if she wants to answer the question with any amount of honesty. She trusts Poe, yes, but family is still an issue difficult to talk about for two big reasons, and one of those reasons is why her family life is decidedly not any better.]
Han and I have been getting along fine, if that's what you mean.
[Her and Luke, too, but it's rarer when she's not getting along with him.]

[she's not sure what's going on on Ezra's side at all, and his hesitation clearly shows in his tone. So, while her response is warm as usual, her confusion is obvious.]
Is something wrong?
[that's a yes, she can talk.]
Is something wrong?
[that's a yes, she can talk.]
N...o?
[He's not sure what he's feeling here.]
You're just... You're my closest friend here, besides Hera.
[That's not to say they're best friends. Maybe they're not even close enough for what he wants to bring up, but honestly, he doesn't have much experience with things like this to know. Can't hurt to ask, though, right?
Well, he hopes.]
I wanted to know... Do you want to go get some cake with me?
[He's not sure what he's feeling here.]

[With the confirmation that everything is fine, that confusion fades for the most part, replaced instead with the telepathic equivalent of a smile. Because both Ezra's invitation and actually hearing him describe her as one of his closest friends here are something she may not have been expecting, but is glad to hear.]
I'd like that. When would we be doing this?
