We get mail? It's not just bills, is it.

[ his mouth gets no help from his head at the moment, things could get interesting. he doesn't fight her, but he isn't exactly helping her along here either, so moving him may be a bit of a pain. ]

[She should have let him get a sore neck apparently.] And junk mail. Come on, handsome. Follow your girlfriend. [She could probably carry him if it really came down to it. She's strong and knows the physics of handling weight distribution, but she doesn't want to jar him into waking up too much.]

[ so harsh. ]

Then screw it.

[ he leans his head against her and tries to follow -- better think fast or he'll end up on the floor though, cuz another thing that fell asleep in his awkward position? his legs. ]

[She still would have massaged it?

When she feels him slipping she adjusts quickly to take on more of his weight, but since she wasn't prepared for it, it makes a pretty terrible long-term solution.]

Winn! [Sorry baby, soft voice time is over.]

[ the urgency in her voice seems to do it - he tries to straighten up but with nothing but a terrible tingling sensation to guide his feet with, he twists his ankle and comes crashing down.

and that finally wakes him up. ]

...ow. [ rubbing his eyes. ] I'm up, I'm up - figuratively - [ slowly trying to move his legs to regain sensation. ]

[She tried to right him to the point of falling with him when it wasn't possible.] Not as intended. [Shifting because that wasn't the most comfortable way to land.] Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah I'm fine.

[ scootching towards her he kisses her cheek. ] You?

[She smiles lightly.] You kissed me, so pretty good.

You fell. [Not bothering to get up just yet.]

So that's what happened! I'm relieved, I thought the floor came up.

Nope. Not this time. [Nuzzle.] Why'd you fall?

I'm only awake from the knees up.

[ tapping his shins in an attempt to accelerate the process. ]

Oooh, tingly? Move your legs around.

Trying to -

[ slowly trying to move his ankles and ignore the annoying feeling it shoots up his legs. ]

-- so what were we doing before the falling?

We were practicing to be in a space circus. Or I was trying to help you get somewhere comfortable to sleep.

I don't wanna be a clown, they're freaky.

[ she gets another kiss, this time to her lips. ]

Thank you.

You can be the elephant. [Kissing back.]

Are you thanking me on my super successful attempt to get you somewhere comfortable to sleep?

Rude.

[ he's in the best shape of his life over here! ]

Mmmhhhhm, yeah, super comfy - [ sprawling himself on her ]

I like elephants. And you can't be the tiger. I'm the tiger. [This floor is not that comfy, sir. But he's cute and she can't bring herself to argue for getting up.]

The elephant and the tiger. Sounds like a fable.

[ it's what he was counting on! ]

Never expected them to fall in love. They are really good on the trapeze though.

Trapeze is metaphor for computer, right?

[ cuz he'll definitely severely injure himself at the very least if he tries the actual trapeze. ]

You don't want to fly through the air with the greatest of ease?

If I ever feel the need to that - 1. question everything. 2. I'll just ask Kara for a ride.

How dare you, sir? If you ever want to try heights I get to air walk you first. [They haven't had a mid-air kiss yet.]

Hey, you said fly -

[ even if he got over his fear of heights, he may keep it to himself just cuz he's got a feeling he'll be getting that argument from both of them. well, not the mid-air kiss thing, but the dibs on taking him up. ]
