when: November 17th
where: Eddie and Cisco's apartment
warnings: none likely, check subject lines

It's been a long day of cleaning the apartment, prepping food and decor, and cooking. So much cooking. The apartment smells like turkey and potatoes and bacon and pie and dozens of other amazing smells. The table is set with enough plates and napkins and silverware for everyone invited and a couple of friends each, and there's a festive pumpkin-and-fall-leaf themed centerpiece that Eddie's particularly fond of. In the background, soft music is playing and the whole atmosphere is warm and cozy.

Eddie himself is dressed in a waistcoat and button-up shirt with a tie, his face a little flushed from spending time over the hot stove and the oven, but he's energetic, upbeat and ready to help Cisco greet guests at the door as they arrive.

Once dinner is set out, it consists of a beautifully roasted turkey, brussels sprouts cooked with bacon, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberry jelly, candied yams, warm bread rolls, and whatever other turkey dinner trimming might come to mind. There's coffee and hot chocolate, juice, and wine available for whoever wants to drink it. Best of all, there's pumpkin and apple pie ready for dessert.

Giving thanks out loud is optional, but making new friends definitely isn't.

[...Yeah there's something bothering him.]

Same...but, we can't do anything about it right now. [She says that, but does she follow through with her own advice? Probably not.]

Meet anyone else here that's interesting?

Yeah. [ Nothing to do about it, which is part of what's driving him absolutely insane. ]

Quite a few people, really. Folks around here are pretty friendly, for the most part. Met an elf wizard who can use magic, met a guy named Ivar the Boneless. A woman named Karen Page who's fun.

[ Poe bites down on the end of his fork, holding it between his teeth so it bobs up and down as he speaks. ] Another kid with magic. Magic is a thing here, apparently.

[Rey perks up a little hearing the two people he's met.]

Ivar is a friend of mine. He was helping me train the other day--sword combat. [Because, someone needs to teach her how to wield a weapon like that. Ignore how she sort of smiles at the mention of Ivar's name though.] Who's Karen? She from a world with magic or anything?

[Yeah, she knows about magic, it took her a while with coming to terms with that.]

Really? That's great! [ Oh, he sees that smile. He sees it, he files it away, he smiles a little himself.

Moreso at her questions about Karen. ] Nah, she's from a little planet that doesn't even have interplanetary travel yet. No life in the system other than humans, as far as they know. No magic that she mentioned.

Yeah, he saw me trying to train and offered to help.

[What smile? What? There's nothing to see here.] He mentioned that you and him were sharing a drink?

[Ahh, so they've spoken a lot then? If he's found out that information about her, then they probably have been talking for a while...] Think you'll bring her around some time?

[Come on, Poe. As oblivious as Rey was to feelings and such, if he found someone who he has an interest in...they should meet her.]

Yeah, I met him at the karaoke thing, heckling the singers. [ Poe chuckles.

His mid-bite of too much turkey when she asks him that next question, and it takes him a second to swallow. ] I mean, sure, if you guys want to meet her. She's nice. Smart. Investigative journalist.

[There's a slight sigh.] That...sounds like him.

[Rey pauses, choosing her next words carefully.] If you want to bring her around, you can. You've met my friends, I was curious about yours. If you say she's nice, then she's nice.

[ There's something about the way she says it that gives Poe pause. ] I'd love for you guys to meet her. I wasn't trying to--I dunno, hide her or something.

[She's not trying to pressure him! She's just curious...that's all.]

I wasn't thinking you were. I was just...you've wanted to meet my friends, and... [She pauses, feeling unsure of what she's trying to say exactly.] I don't know, I just thought it would be nice to meet her. That's all.

[Cause...the more allies you have here, the better?]

[ Poe holds up the hand holding his fork, a kind of 'I surrender' gesture. ] You're right. It's only fair.

[ He had gone poking his nose in as far as Cisco was concerned, that was for sure. ] I'll ask her next time I see her, okay?

If you want. [Another shrug of her shoulders. He can do what he wants...but it would be nice if she met his new friend.]

Pretty sure BB-8 would like to meet her too. [Teasing a little.]
