Recent parallels, for us. It's fine now.

[use_everything]

Coming from someone who doesn't let anyone else use 'fine.' [It's gentle, for what it is.]

[keep_nothing]

[ She purses her lips at the comment, but it looks like it's caught halfway between perturbed and an amused smile. ]

It's better now. Only an occasional nightmare, and nothing to wake you up in the night for.

[use_everything]

[The trouble with old dogs, is that sometimes they only pretend that they can't learn new tricks.]

Belike. [There's a bit of hesitant doubt there.]

[keep_nothing]

[ She catches it. ] ... What?

[use_everything]

You know that you can? Regardless of how you judge the worth of it. [There wasn't late nights or early mornings, delicate negotiations or battles of wits here that could demand that extra sleep. Not that'd he'd grudge those hours to her.]

[keep_nothing]

[ There's a slow blink as she realizes the same. Damn, when did the insane demands that Barrayar placed on them both become habit for her?

Her smiles turns more soft after a moment, and she leans in for a gentle kiss. ]

I'll remember that when you're grumbling the next morning.

[use_everything]

I take no responsibility for anything said before coffee.

[keep_nothing]

[ She laughs lightly, followed by another kiss. ]

[use_everything]

[This one he follows when she pulls back, stealing a little extra time.]

[keep_nothing]

[ She smiles into it, curling a hand on the back of his neck. It remains there when they finally stop. ]

So. You and Roy.

[use_everything]

Hm.

We'll see where it goes. It.. seems promising.

[keep_nothing]

May I make a suggestion?

[use_everything]

[There's a little curiosity, a little wariness, in that 'go ahead' gesture.]

[keep_nothing]

You need to initiate, at least at first. From what he told us, he's even dumber than Miles when it comes to affections. Or at least less experienced, to be fair.

[use_everything]

Ah.. [He thinks back the conversation earlier.] Perhaps... both.

[Probably both.]

I'll keep it in mind.

[keep_nothing]

[ She chuckles again. ] Probably both, yes. Not that you can say anything to that.

[use_everything]

[He lifts his hands in surrender as his only reply to that.]
