Galen doesn't let go of his hand. He holds it tight in his own, thumb still tracing against the wires, caressing it much like he once caressed Lyra's. Much as he had wanted to on Eadu, when the smallest whisper of affection was a dangerous curse. When Krennic was still... He shakes his head, but does not let go, tracing up the back of his hand with his thumb.

"Then walk with me. Chitani, would it be permissible...?" He looks over at the Pantoran, who scratches at the yellow tattoos on her cheek, an irritable look on her face.

"Fine, whatever, I need sleep anyway. Not like a scientist and a pilot can take over the galaxy." She grumbles as she waves her hand away, leaving Galen in Bodhi's charge. A grin splits Galen's face as he gently brings Bodhi's mechanical hand up to his lips.

"I have missed you, Bodhi Rook."

Bodhi watches the alien woman depart, blinking after her. He opens his mouth to ask if she's always been so... nice, and trusting but the words die in his throat when Galen presses his lips to his metal hand. His face heats slightly as something flutters in his chest at the openness. So many stolen moments on Eadu, when they'd had to be careful -- now they're standing here in an open hallway where anyone could walk by.

Granted, it was late so there was less of a chance of that, but...

His other hand goes to Galen's shoulder, solid and warm and real. He swallows thickly as happiness spreads.

"I missed you too, I -- I thought I was never gonna see you again."
