[Maybe it's because she doesn't have another one. Maybe it's just because his lips looked lonely, but the thing she goes for is a kiss.]

[ maybe it's because he's been vibing for it. who knows, whatever the reason, he's very pleased about the outcome. best evil plan ever. ]

[Mmm~ Kissing!] So, when do you want to set things up with Sascha?

[ but kissing was so nice, why the hard questions again? he pouts, but thinks it over. ]

Mmhm. I guess...tonight? [ if he'll put it off he'll lose his nerve, and it gives something else time to go wrong and keep them from it. but he's definitely reluctant. ]

[It's how she motivates?]

We should let him know. [Or see if he's available, but what are the odds he won't be?]

Yeah, yeah we should.

[ he pauses. he wants to ask could you, he wants to ask her to do it so badly. but it goes against everything that he is, so with a sigh, he fumbles for his comm. ]

[She absolutely would have.] I vote voice mode. [So they aren't making the call from their bed.] Or text I guess. [She just isn't a fan of text.]

Text gives him headaches.

[ the concern for him is natural, even now. so voice call it is! ]

Hi Sascha, it's Winn - and Kitty - [ laying the comm between them so she could talk and listen. ]

[Nuzzling just a little because look at him being a thoughtful sweetheart like he always is and yet it still manages to surprise and touch her.]

Hi Sasch. Do you think we could come visit you later today?

[ Oh my gosh oh my gosh, a voice call from not just Winn, but Kitty to?? Sascha's all agape at his communicator and for a second? Rendered speechless.

And then he frantically whispers: ]

Hang on! Bigby's sleeping! [ As in, let him untangle from the giant wolf limbs he's been propped up against and hurry into the hall before he replies proper. ]

--Okay! Hi♥ [ he totally missed the visit part he was so excited to hear from you guys ]

[ does he have to repeat it? every time he thinks it, every time he says it, he gets a little bit more nervous about it. ]

Hi -- how's it going? [ what do you mean he can't get 'can we come over' from that? goddammit, sascha and his comprehension problems, gosh! ] Are you busy tonight? [ winn, please. ]

[Kitty asked the first time. Does that help at all? No?

She strokes his hair gently since it's a voice call.]

We'd like to see you.

Really?? I'm--yes! I'm free! [ Sascha babbles a little, clearly excited. It takes him a moment to actually remember to answer: ]

I'm good too. Um. When tonight??

[ he looks over at kitty a little helplessly. ]

When would be good?

[ he'd rather it not be too late. ]

Sometime soonish maybe without actually being right now? [Was that the right prompt, boyfriend?]

Oh...yeah, that should be fine. Um--but Bigby's room is too full right now. Is there someplace else we can meet?

[ oh god. he's not going to invite him over, because then they can't enforce the 20-minutes limit - he's never going to be comfortable with kicking someone out, he'd rather be able to leave himself.

which means there's only one place he can invite himself to.

it's a really good thing he's been back there twice already, once with kate and once for kara's crafting corner because even as it is the thought is painful and hard, and he feels a lump in his chest like he's about to panic.

he keeps his voice calm, if a tiny bit higher in pitch. ]

I guess, the Iskaulit?

[She takes his hand in hers and squeezes. She feels like it's important for Winn to get comfortable with Sascha and the Iskaulit, but does it really need to be the same time?] What about the Bloodsport's kitchen or cargo bay?

Those would be fine too~ everyone's already eaten dinner so they're free. [ It's okay, Sascha has no preference on where they meet whatsoever, it's just that sleeping wolf Bigby happens to leave very little room for anything in the room--including Sascha himself. ]

[ so much gratitude in the look he's giving kitty right now. ]

That'll work.

[She smiles back, glad she did good there.] We'll see you in a little while then.

Okay~! I'll wait inside the kitchen♥ [ He is literally almost there as we speak. He couldn't help wrying a head start. ]

See you soon.

[ hanging up the call, he takes a deep breath. for a moment he just sits there, not looking at kitty. he's not looking at anything in particular - he's just specifically not looking at kitty.

and then he gets up. ]

Guess we should - get ready and head over.

Probably. [Wondering where his head is while he avoids looking at her. She sits up too and kisses his shoulder.] It's all going to be okay.

[ he nods, the sharp motion revealing his anxiety, as does the quick sucking of a breath through his nose. ]

Yeah. It's gonna be fine. [ he straightens out his clothes and brushes his hair, fingers trembling all throughout. ]

Do we need anything? I feel like I'm forgetting something - [ but is he? they don't need to bring anything, maybe he's just looking to stall. ]
