I did insist on paying, love, and I meant it.

[she gives him one of her impish, "innocent" smiles and reaches for her drink] You can pay next time.

[exothermia]

[He takes his own glass, raising his eyebrows at her attitude. It doesn't fool him at all, as she knows it won't.]

Next time.

[noprophecies]

If I remember. My memory is rather terrible, you know.

[how dare you, Erik, she is the most innocent ever]

[exothermia]

I'll remind you.

[noprophecies]

Remind me of what?

[see what she did there]

[exothermia]

I will send you a text message.

[noprophecies]

I will delete it immediately.

[exothermia]

You're impossible.

[noprophecies]

My, what a sweet thing to say.

[Tempest it isn't a compliment]

[exothermia]

[He just sighs, and sips at his drink. This is just banter; no one's going to win it.]

[noprophecies]

[no she won don't deny her this victory.

She takes a sip of her drink]

You can't out-stubborn me.

[exothermia]

I've never truly tried.

[noprophecies]

Mm, well. There rarely is an occasion for it. We agree on many things.

[exothermia]

Yes... we do. [It's a trait that goes back years, for him. Less so for Tempest, who doesn't remember (or was never part of) their first encounter in the library.]

It's not something you find in everyone.

[noprophecies]

All the more reason to cherish our friendship.

[she says it with her usual impish tone, but there's truth in it, too. Erik, Charles - they were truly the first people she openly considered friends, and even if she didn't remember their history before Kyriakos, they hadn't held it against her]

I knew stealing you was a good idea.

[exothermia]

[There's that humour again. He sighs in mock sufferance.]

Someday you'll get caught, thieving the same thing over and over.

[noprophecies]

[admit it, you missed her humor]

I do not thieve things, Erik, I thieve handsome old men. And I dare someone to try and stop me.

[exothermia]

I obviously can't.

[noprophecies]

No, you can't. I am afraid it is a fate you must come to terms with. Though I imagine you already have, since this is not a new thing.

[exothermia]

Mm. You've warped me into trusting you.

[noprophecies]

A terrible fate indeed.

[exothermia]

That's the purpose of this dinner, I assume.

[noprophecies]

I told you what the purpose of dinner was, love.

[exothermia]

Spoiling your captive.

[noprophecies]

[she grins behind her glass]

No, dinner was me thanks for helping me down on the planet.

The drinks, on the other hand, are me spoiling you.
