Hudson with Terror

[Reeves]

True to his nature and reputation, he didn't shy away from answering directly or play coy. "Not an act. It just depends if I find them interesting or not." Despite the honesty, it was an answer that didn't directly address whether it fell under the former or latter, and that was deliberate. It left it open to interpretation, provoked thought and interest. "Do you usually flirt with dangerous men from a backseat? Or is that just for me?" It was a spin on what she just asked him. The fact he was mildly amused by this line of conversation was clear from his reflection on the canopy, something she had an unobstructed view of.

She might not have guessed it, but he had flown this far and landed in this crater for a purpose. Ascending its way up the miniature horizon they were hidden within, was a pale blue sun. It illuminated the snow and rock around them with a dull glow, too far away to convey a sense of warmth, but comforting all the same.
