The idea of going to eat at the diner sounded great. Ship food got pretty damn old after a while, especially when someone was recovering. Looking over at Katie, he gently tightened his hold on her hand and leaned over to kiss her temple. Maybe a bit of normalcy like this would do her a bit of good too.
As they crossed the grounds, he felt Katie move closer to him. He knew that she hadn't been around many people since her rescue, and he hoped that this wasn't going to be too much for her. He let go of her hand and instead slipped it around her waist to hold her close and let her know that he was right there. That he wasn't going to let them get separated.
"I can imagine it's a bit strange," Jonathan said. "Should we ask for a quiet corner at the diner?"
Leonard nodded. "That might be a good idea. Even for me, being back planetside can be a bit of an adjustment after so long."
As they continued to walk, he pressed his lips to her ear and whispered, "If you need space at any time, let me know, and I'll get you somewhere, okay?"
