And much harder. You know that right? Kind of invested here. [Gently touching the side of his face.]

[winn]

[ he gives her a little smile, one tinted with sadness. ]

You're not the only one with abandonment issues.

[ even if he now feels like his are illegitimate in comparison - she wants him to say how he feels and he promised he'd try. ]

[passingthrough]

[Gently.] I know. You hide things for the same reason I push everything out for display no matter how jarring.

[winn]

Combine us, and maybe you'll get a healthy coping mechanism.

[ he smiles, kissing her forehead. ]

[passingthrough]

[She smiles.] Don't work on any weird side projects to combine us, okay?

[winn]

[ scrunching everything, now there's a thought he doesn't need in his head. ]

No -- no definitely not. I love you just the way you are, thanks.

[passingthrough]

I love you too. All you and non-hybrid-y. [Smiling and leaning in for a kiss.]

[winn]

[ he kisses back ]

Definitely not into dating myself.

[passingthrough]

[A soft laugh.] Come on, let's do something fun. [See also, distracting but not sex. Because she figures he probably isn't in a good head space for that after Cisco but he could use some activity.]

[winn]

[ this right here - is why she's perfect for him. she gets an appreciative smile. ]

Watchu got in mind?

[passingthrough]

A game maybe? I don't have chess with me, but maybe we could find a deck of cards. [Someone must have some, right? Why isn't Remy on this ship?] Or we can invent one.

[winn]

I could teach you to Super StickFigure -

[passingthrough]

Teach me Super StickFigure, boyfriend.

[winn]

Best girlfriend.

[ she gets a kiss as he reaches for his communicator. gaming with her has been one of his fantasies ok. ]

Alright - well first you gotta pick your character - [ there's guy stickfigure and girl stickfigure. he hasn't spent a lot of time on the graphics, so it mostly looks like toilet signs with little red capes. ]

You click here to go forward, here to jump, you gotta collect the coins, not fall in the holes, and jump on or avoid the stickfigure monsters.

[ literally stick figures with an arrow pointed at them with the label 'monster'. ]

[passingthrough]

[Are there any other fantasies she should know about?] Right. Just like an actual battle. [She's kidding.] Is it set up for two players or do we need to just take turns?

[winn]

[ absolutely. ]

It'll be set up for multiple players as soon as I get it uploaded to the network, for now, we gotta take turns. Tell me how you like it, you're the first to play it besides me -

[ this is very exciting to him, can you tell? ]

[passingthrough]

[Such as...?]

Yeah? [She likes being the first, okay?] Then these are exciting times. Should there be a speech first?

[winn]

[ there's a character limit on these brackets. ]

-- probably! [ he laughs, but he's not very good at making those, that's more kara's job. ]

[passingthrough]

[So, whispering it into her ear later?]

Four score and now we celebrate a small step for man and fear itself. Play ball!

[winn]

[ she gets applause, and a mock wiping of the single tear ]

Beautiful.

[passingthrough]

No, you are. [Kiss.] So me first or should I watch you?

[winn]

You first - I'm dying to see how you like it.

[passingthrough]

Will there be an acceptable response other than "this is awesome?"

[winn]

Yes. I'll also take "this is super awesome".

[passingthrough]

The options are almost limitless in that world where limitless means two. [She smiles over at him with all the fondness before looking back at the game to start it up.]
