[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.

[serves]

[He just grins some more.]

I'm glad you clarified.

[dawnwillcome]

You're terrible, baiting me into things like that while hiding your mischievous nature behind such an innocent face.

[serves]

You did that all on your own, Inquisitor. [But he looks so smug.]

[dawnwillcome]

I should take away your tea and your new plant for this insubordination.

[She says that, but she's also struggling not to laugh. That smug face is far too appealing to be at all bent out of shape for any of this.]

[serves]

[He notices.]

What's stopping you?

[dawnwillcome]

[She slides her hand from under his so she can reach up to touch his chin.]

You look good with that cat that caught the canary look on your face.

[serves]

[He leans into the touch, like an oversized cat.]

Is that so?

[dawnwillcome]

I know I'm not the first person to tell you you're attractive, Cullen, you don't have to play coy.

[serves]

It's different, when it's from you.

[dawnwillcome]

Is that so?

[Two can play at that game.]
