[Hopefully her crossing her arms over her chest won't distract him too badly.]

Between the two of us, which of us has invited the other into their room twice now?

[serves]

The first one didn't count.

[But look, he's rising to his feet so he can stand in front of her and press a kiss to her forehead.]

[dawnwillcome]

[She smiles and closes her eyes when he goes and does that, lifting her hands to rest them on his arms once he's close enough.]

It absolutely counted.

[serves]

Did not.

[Try arguing when he's trailing a finger along your jawline, Jove.]

[dawnwillcome]

[It might be harder if he weren't using did not, did so to plead his case. It is very distracting, though, and she leans into his touch even as she raises an eyebrow at him.]

Why wouldn't it? We went on a lovely walk and then I got you into my bed. You'd think that would count twice.

[serves]

Count twice as what, exactly?

[dawnwillcome]

Don't try and turn that around on me, you're the one that brought up whether or not things counted.

[serves]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Look how cute he is.]

[dawnwillcome]

[And now she sighs, heavily, like this is the greatest burden in the world.]

Maybe none of it counted, in that case. If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, there must have been nothing at all to count.

[serves]

[She's a cruel mistress. Cullen smirks and leans in, lips a breath away from hers.]

It all counted.

[dawnwillcome]

And you're always welcome here, Cullen.

[She'll close that last little bit of distance herself, pressing a soft kiss to his lips.]

[serves]

[He returns the kiss just as softly, the hand that's not still holding his cup of tea coming to touch the side of her face.]

I'm glad.

[dawnwillcome]

I'll even let you pick whichever plant you like best to take back with you. That's how highly I think of you.

[serves]

I like a number of them. Help me choose?

[dawnwillcome]

Hmm...

[That might have been a bad move if he was going for intimacy, because now she draws away from him to retrieve a small pot with a tiny, leafy plant in it.]

You might do well with mint. When it flowers it has lovely purple blossoms and the leaves are good for calming a stomach as well. Plus everyone loves the way mint smells.

[serves]

When did you collect all these?

[That's fine, because he has to draw near to inspect the plant, hands resting over hers as he does so.]

[dawnwillcome]

[She smiles as she watches his hands cover hers, making them look so small against the side of the pot.]

From the start of our stay on Mor. I spent a large portion of my time there transplanting and gathering seeds, I wasn't sure we'd get that chance again.

[And fighting dragons who ended up being her friend but we don't have to talk about that.]

[serves]

You should have told me. I could have helped you.

[dawnwillcome]

Would you really- [But she stops, because the answer to that is too clear.] Of course you would have helped me. I suppose I got too used to everyone preferring to stay out of the forest as much as possible. I'll ask you next time, I promise.

[serves]

Next time? [He smiles, leaning in a little closer.] We might have to rearrange in here so that you'll have enough room for your collection.

[dawnwillcome]

[She grins up at him, transferring the pot from her hands to his. What now guy?]

I'm not afraid to take over the whole ship with them, Commander.

[serves]

[He can hold that and lean in a little closer still.]

The Huntress could use some more life.

[dawnwillcome]

You're welcome to take anything else you like the look of, in that case.

[serves]

[... don't mind that boyish grin.]

[dawnwillcome]

[That actually takes her a second, but then she laughs and lightly slaps his arm.]

You know I meant of the plants.
