[keep_nothing]

Have you talked to her about this at all?

[vorbarra]

No, it hasn't exactly come up. We've had too many other things happening.

[keep_nothing]

Things like this John Mandrake?

[vorbarra]

That among others. Her and Miles turning into other versions of themselves put a stall on things, too.

[keep_nothing]

Oh yes, that minor occurrence. It affected Kitty too?

[vorbarra]

Rather badly, actually. It's still troubling her.

[keep_nothing]

Probably compounding anything that came after it too, I imagine.

[vorbarra]

Yes... I'm sure you're right about that. We haven't been able to catch a break for months now.

[keep_nothing]

... What if you do an escape with her? A weekend getaway to just relax with her?

[vorbarra]

Like what I tried with Miles, but more successful?

I... did have plans to surprise her with a romantic evening. I think you're on the right track.

[keep_nothing]

Hopefully more successful than previous attempts, yes.

[vorbarra]

[ Gregor isn't the sort to take it without giving any back, so he asks a little slyly, ]

And more successful than you and Colonel Mustang? He seemed... rather dense.

[keep_nothing]

[ She laughs openly. ]

You'd have to speak more to Aral about that, but yes, he was incredibly dense for a while there.

[vorbarra]

[ Just to make her laugh more: ]

Which one, your husband or the Colonel?

[keep_nothing]

[ It works like a charm – she laughs again, much more heartily this time. ]

[vorbarra]

[ He smiles to watch her laugh, surprised how much better it makes him feel in a very straightforward way. ]

So what was the conclusion with that after all? Forgive me if I'd rather get the information from you.

[keep_nothing]

The conclusion is that they're both idiots, but besides that, they're going to take it slow and see what happens.

[vorbarra]

They? Not including you? Or are you merely patiently waiting for them to catch up?

[keep_nothing]

The latter, mostly. I don't want to push either of them into it. Aral already had a big step forward with Allison.

[vorbarra]

Mm... yes. I suppose I'm in a similar situation with Miles and Kitty. Wanting them to catch up but aware that inserting myself further into the situation won't do it.
