❝ i heard a shot. you okay ? ❞
joel has his revolver at the ready. eyes scanning about - he hears nothing now, but he's been jumped one too many times to grow COMPLACANT at the absence of noise.
& sure, his tone is clipped & stern. it's a hot summer day & they should've been back in jackson two hours ago. but he stills takes a moment to make sure he isn't returning ALONE.

he shakes his head, chest still lightly heaving under the rush of adrenaline. in just a couple short strides, joel passes by hope to stand between her & the runner banging on the other side of door. getting here just in time to lock the bastard up was a streak of LUCK hasn't slipped by joel.
❝ didn't have time to look for much of anythin', ❞ joel replies in a tight, graveled tone.
joel slowly turns, his gaze hard & troubled when they reach hope's. ❝ that was a STUPID goddamn thing you just did. what woulda happened if i didn't get here in time ? ❞
❝ yeah . . . 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒉 - 'm okay . ❞
her heart still pounds wildly in her chest , matching pace with the 𝑭𝑳𝑼𝑻𝑻𝑬𝑹 of hummingbird wings . weapon is still raised in active defense , the shot infected lying crumpled at her feet . she looks over to joel - her shoulders falling in relief at his presence , a sighed breath leaving panting lips .
❝ scared the hell out of me , though , ❞ hope adds , pushing back her fringe which sticks to the 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒕 drenched surface of her forehead . ❝ find anythin' useful ? ❞
@espercr asked: "It's been a long time. Too long." (DS9!Hope + it's actually Thomas impersonating Will but she doesn't know yet... like we discussed...)
for just a moment - a heartbeat - his brows furrowed at her words. thomas riker had expected one or two incidents where he may be put on the spot, and insisted his quick-thinking and poker face would GUIDE him until he could reach the defiant. an anecdote about will riker's travels is the most he expected.
but not her.
to cover up his surprise, thomas straightens his shoulders and puts on a smile. and he knew which kind of smile to offer hope baxter - he'd seen it himself. ❛❛ it has, ❜❜ he agreed, his tone light to emulate a SOMBER tone. the fact that she was here on the station, and not still on the enterprise, made it a safe bet to act at least a little sadly nostalgic.
❛❛ i hope you've been well. i've read some of the reports before coming here. ❜❜
