I do.

[She nods to reiterate the fact. Still it seems not right to not have said it back.

She pulls him in again, once more just to hold onto him. Feel him, know he's solid and real. She'll say it, when it doesn't seem out of place, or obligatory.]

We should probably go move your things.

[He smiles and kisses her cheek.] You're going to hate me when you see how much I've collected.

[Only half teasing.]

[child_of_bhaal]

[She grins in return.]

I've seen your quarters. I know what I'm getting into.

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

Well, good. Wouldn't want you throwing me out.

[He takes her hand again, a pleased flush across his cheeks.]

We should celebrate soon. Hey, Halloween's coming up.

[child_of_bhaal]

[They must look a pair, both of them flushed and smiling like lovesick fools.]

What's- oh! Right, that's Zhas' birthday!

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

Oh, yeah! I think I heard someone saying that. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, but Halloween's pretty fun. More fun when you're a kid, though.

[child_of_bhaal]

Alright...

[She lifts her free hand to begin counting each question that surrounds from what he just said.]

What is Thanksgiving? Why is it your favorite? Why is Halloween more fun for children? Anger in any order you wish.

[Not from Earth, Arthur.]

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

[He grins sheepishly.] Sorry, I forget.

Thanksgiving is a holiday. The history behind it is complicated, but now, we use it as a time to gather with family, give thanks for all we have, and eat until we can't anymore. I like it because of the food, and I like that it's in fall, when the leaves are turning orange and yellow and red.

[His smile fades to a frown as he thinks.] What else did you ask? ...Oh! Halloween. Children can dress up in scary costumes and they go from door to door to collect candy. It's not as socially acceptable for adults to dress up and ask for candy, [he says with a smirk.]
