[The bashful look on Buck's face is endearing and sweet. Rey grins at him.]
I don't blame you. I probably would've slept on the way too. Car rides, I can fall asleep, but not on airplanes.
[A small shrug. She didn't know if that made her weird or not. On a plane though, she could read for pleasure and not have to worry about motion sickness. So small wins there.
Rey lets out a thoughtful hum, bringing up her coffee cup to take another sip.] The UK is cold and gloomy, and I left that for a life of...cold and snow, but yeah it's much better here. Where else have you traveled?
[The warmth and sunshine of LA does not compete with anything else that Rey has experienced. But, she did miss those quiet winter days where the snow was falling, she had her blankets and a comfy bed to sleep in.
Rey nods her head and gives Buck an understanding smile. Might as well rip off that band aid.]
Yeah, I'm really glad I have my friends now. I didn't grow up in the best of circumstances, but turned out okay for the most part--I think. [A nervous chuckle. Hopefully, she wasn't messing this up because he seemed really nice and she was greatly out of her comfort zone.]
But, uh, did you want something like food from here? Their bakery section is pretty good, but there are a few other places around too. Coffee is essential, but so is actual food.
