Bodhi takes Galen's hand and walks back through the door and back into the base. The cerebration is in full swing, happy shouts echoing from the hall. They run into only one other person on their way to Bodhi's room. The young lieutenant who had escorted Galen earlier.
Nika salutes, eyes drifting from Bodhi's face to their joined hands and back again. "Sir, Dr Erso."
"Lieutenant." Bodhi acknowledges, his voice a tense growl. Ready to deck the young man for a word out of place.
Instead the young man stutters shyly. "Sir?" He starts uncertainly. "I hope- have a good night, sir. You- you've earnt it."
Bodhi relaxes a little, resting his metal hand on the youth's shoulder. "As have you, lieutenant. Now go and enjoy yourself."
The boy nods, freckled cheeks warming with a blush. "Sir, yes sir." There's something about the way he steps aside to let them pass, watching them go. A crush perhaps? Or something more like hero worship?
Bodhi doesn't speak again till they're inside his room, the door firmly closed.

But then, funerals always have that effect on him.
For now, he's content just to hold Galen close, watching him in the dappled light.
