Ben tried not to look pleased as the droid whirred immediately towards him. It felt nice to see that level of trust emenating from even a droid. As always, he was gentle when he touched the BB unit. Asking permission to remove panels and check the droid's wiring. The whistles and chirps were rapidly fired and Ben did his best to make sense of it all. "I might have to adjust your sensors. Or send Ari to protect you from those pesky corners." The starbird had developed an adorable obsession with the droid unit, though he was sure BB-9 felt annoyed with her constant fawning.
He was busy pulling off panels and digging inside the droid to notice what his ex-general was up to. Ben liked when Tage was close so him circling around wasn't ununsual. And his cigarette pack was in pocket by now. He'd slipped it in before they'd gotten close to see what he was doing. But he hadn't anticipated Tage kneeling and sneaking a peck to his cheek. He would have tried to steal a kiss of his own but Ben kept his focus steadfast on the droid between his legs, instead reaching behidn him and giving Tage's wrist an affectionate squeeze before going back to figuring out BB9's problem.
The ginger was looking around now. Ben saw out of the corner of his eyes as he was whipping his head back and forth. "You expecting someone?" It was kind of hard not to act like he knew exactly was Armitage was looking for. As long as he kept his eyes away from his boyfriend's, he could continue pretending.
