Gabrielle looked increasingly horrified as Rust continued talking, but didn't want to say anything to stop him, for fear of freaking him out again. She started to take deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
"S-sorry, but p-please stop. I, uh, I think the b-boat's just about to d-dock." she mumbled, hoping, likely in vain, he wouldn't notice the stutter worsening.

"Hmm? Oh hey, you're right!" Rust noted, seeing the island up close now. "Damn, it looks good, doesn't it?"
Whistling slightly at the view, the mechanic nodded to himself. "Guess Captain Birdseye did know where he was going, huh? Never doubted him for a second."
In a moment, his gym bag was hanging back off his shoulder and the Astral Arm was lugging his suitcase behind him.
"Ready to set off? Or you got something else you need to do first?...looking at how red your face is, I'd recommend a drink?"

"Uh, y-yeah. T-that's right. It's funny, but I don't deal well with the heat." Gabrielle said, speaking slowly to minimise the stuttering. "Really need a drink."
She crossed over to the bench and pulled out her cases from under it just as the boat bumped into dock.
"I'm going to go see if there's a cafeteria or something. It was nice meeting you, Rust. H-have fun wandering or whatever."

Rust just grinned back and gave a small wave. He'd thoroughly enjoyed his time with the new girl and whilst there had been some rough patches, ultimately, she seemed alright to get along with. Which was just perfect in his book.
"Hey, not a problem, Gabrielle. Nice meeting my first friend here." he smiled pleasantly at her. "Hopefully I'll see you sometime soon, yeah? You owe me cookies. Sweet delicious cookies whilst we dick about with whatever problems your motorbike's got."
The Brit nodded at her.
"Have a good'un, yeah?"

For her part, Gabrielle's impression of Rust was pretty damn good, especially since he'd been a lot nicer about certain... difficulties than she had expected.
"S-sounds good. I'll look forward to it." she said, giving him a small smile. "And you'll get a mountain of cookies, Rust. You won't be able to move for all the cookies you'll get. Maybe cake too, i-if you're nice."
She gave him an informal salute and headed for the gangplank.
