This is Kyna. You should just text me if you actually want me to answer.

[She just kind of flops backward into him. The perks of having a boyfriend twice your size.]

The flowers and the back rub are nice.

[hardwearing]

[ Yeah, her weight hardly registers, he just drapes his arms around her to hold her there. ]

I'm glad you like them. You deserved... something nice.

[evocation]

[Yeah, so she's just going to settle there until he moves her.]

How'd you learn how to do that anyway?

[hardwearing]

Oh, I wasn't kidding with the arts and crafts project comment. Second grade, I think? I've just got a good memory... I could make you a frog army if you wanted, too.

[evocation]

[She grins up at him.]

Teach me how to make a frog.

[hardwearing]

Mm, okay. Go get some paper.

[ That requires him to let go of her, but just for now. ]

[evocation]

[Yeah, she's making a face at him.]

But then I have to get up.

[hardwearing]

Can't you magic it over?

[evocation]

Only if I know where it is.

[hardwearing]

You don't have any in the apartment?

[evocation]

Probably, but it's... somewhere.

[Meet your girlfriend's lack of organization.]

[hardwearing]

[ SIGH. ]

I'll go get what I left at Ephemera's. Wait here.

[evocation]

No, because then you have to move and you'll be gone longer.

[As if to punctuate the point, she snuggles closer.]

Wait, you were doing it at Ephemera's?

[hardwearing]

Well then you're not getting a frog right now.

[ Cuddles are good, though. ]

Yeah, he lent me his paints and let me leave them there to dry... taking up the table at my place would've been a pain and it's not like I could do it in my room. Olympia would've made a mess.

[evocation]

Oh my God. That's really cute.

[And really sweet, so Kyna is going to shift again to kiss his cheek.]

[hardwearing]

[ Well he'll take that but. ]

...what's cute?

[evocation]

That you braved Ephemera to make something for me.

[hardwearing]

...he's really not so bad.

[evocation]

I know. I like him, but it's not like you go out of your way to hang out with him.

[hardwearing]

It's still kind of complicated. Maybe it always will be.

[evocation]

I know. That's okay. At least you guys aren't fighting anymore.

[hardwearing]

Yeah. Every now and then I say the wrong thing and piss him off, but it's getting better.

...and let's be honest, I do that with everyone.

[evocation]

Yeah, but everyone does that. Do you know how many people I piss off?

[hardwearing]

You mean besides Ephemera?

[ He's half-kidding, but he really doesn't know. ]

[evocation]

Did I ever tell you about the time we were on a job and Tucker covered my mouth with his hand to make me stop talking because I was pissing off a dryad?
