[beathach]

[i mean, it's completely possible]

My room was on the other side of the manor.

[that's it, that's his excuse]

[takingkarabusiness]

You have legs.

[beathach]

I do. But - I mean, it's not like it's bad to sleep in the lab sometimes.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm just teasing, anyway.

[beathach]

I know.

[does she still have his hand? If so he's squeezing hers gently]

So this - masquerade. I know Winn's making you a dress, but - what are you supposed to wear to those?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ yes, they're still holding hands. she'll move so their shoulders are touching ]

Well, I think they're going for either costume or fancy. I'm erring on the side of nice. Think prom?

[beathach]

[he is perfectly okay with that. He even leans against her a tiny bit]

I - didn't go to my prom. But - er, a nice suit, right? And tie?

[takingkarabusiness]

Exactly. Feel free to skip the corsage. And obviously, a mask.

[beathach]

I don't think I'd be able to find a corsage anyway. And mask - got it.

[that doesn't sound so bad, and it'll be a new experience being able to choose what clothes he inevitably goes to a party in]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ lifts her hands to clap a little, excited ]

We're really going to go!

[beathach]

[oh no, her excitement is infectious, he's smiling again]

Well, now I'm looking forward to it, so I have to.

[takingkarabusiness]

Good! I'm glad.

[ ok ok ok going to give him a cheek kiss ]

[beathach]

[oh no!! Man is it a good thing flushing doesn't show up when he's like this]

Me too. Thanks for asking me.

[takingkarabusiness]

Of course. Everyone should have fun.

[beathach]

Well - here's hoping it will be fun. I mean - not that I think it won't be, but -

[takingkarabusiness]

It will be. Even if the party's not fun, we'll figure something out.

[beathach]

Heh, I'm sure we will.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ affectionate shoulder bump ]

[beathach]

[he bumps her shoulder back, smile widening a little]

[takingkarabusiness]

So... any other plans for what to do today?

[beathach]

Well - I mean, if you want to - later on I was going to go to the library? [in a fake, solemn tone] I need to find ice cream recipes.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'd love to! I haven't spent a lot of time there yet.

[beathach]

I've been once so far. It's - a pretty decent library, from what I've seen already.

[takingkarabusiness]

Lots of tomes from across the dimensions?

[beathach]

Heh, something like that. It'll make catching up on things a lot easier, at least.
