[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Nooooo. [Playful.] I sleep where you sleep. [Looking at him fondly.]

[winn]

Aww. [ kiss ] You loooove me~ [ in an obnoxious sing-song voice ]

[passingthrough]

Who me? [Kissing back.] Only very, very, very, very, very, six more verys much.

[winn]

Only six more? I need to up my game -

[passingthrough]

I want to see this magical game upping. How is it even possible? [Reckless nuzzling. Do you see how much love and silliness you bring out in this woman, Winn Schott?] You'll strain something.

[winn]

I warmed up.

[ he sees it, he feels it, he loves it. he kisses the top of her head. ]

Are you turning into an actual cat?

[passingthrough]

If I am does that mean you get paid to take care of me? That could have some serious implications on our relationship.

[winn]

Let's not go there.

[ it's too close to what they actually paid for in their relationship and that is just disturbing. ]

[passingthrough]

[She's not thinking of the real implications at the moment. She just kisses him again.] Maybe tonight should be the surprise night. [No, he doesn't know anything about a surprise.]

[winn]

Surprise night? [ lightly tilting his head and looking at her curiously. ]

[passingthrough]

I thought of a theme room you might like. I'll set it up.

[winn]

Do I get a hint?

[passingthrough]

Yes. Your hint is that you have the best girlfriend. [She kisses him again.] Give me five minutes and then we're walking into our new place for the night.

[winn]

Okay -- am I waiting here?

[passingthrough]

You look pretty good here. You look pretty good in other places too though. Gentleman's choice. I'll find you either way. [Kissing.]

[winn]

[ he lingers on the kiss for a moment. ]

Okay go get the key - [ wiping his face on his sleeve ] I'm getting drool in my eyes - [ laughing, he seriously needs a shower. ]

[passingthrough]

Ewwww. [She doesn't actually look even remotely disgusted.] I'll be back before you miss me, hot stuff. [Pulling back.]

[winn]

Unlikely.

[passingthrough]

[She walks backward, smiling at him and blowing a kiss. Can you believe she just did that? So ridiculous. All Winn's fault. She does manage to briefly bump into someone, phasing to walk through them and then turning around to actually get that key!

Fast forward to the two of them at their hotel door because you know they were just cutesy and ridiculous and slow up to that moment.] Do the honors? [Handing him the key. She hopes he'll like the gaming suite.]

[winn]

Yeah --

[ he's not going to be fussy about it - he's excited! a surprise from kitty! he would love it no matter what it is. (ok, so if she got him a room that looks like you're on the tiny edge of a very high cliff, he wouldn't. but why would she?)

he opens it right up and gets inside and - ]

Oh. My god - [ he died and went to heaven, didn't he. eyes darting across the room, he turns to face kitty with a smile on his face that's gotta be worth whatever this room set her back. ]

You are so getting laid tonight.

[passingthrough]

[Definitely worth it and if it wasn't a huge chunk of money she'd get it several more times just for that look. She might anyway. Maybe she'll get a couple of jobs. But she doesn't want to eat up too much time she could be spending with him either.] I get the sense you like it. [Kissing him.]

[winn]

[ hey now, overworking himself to death is his thing, she can't have it! he's not sharing. ]

I love it! [ he kisses her enthusiastically. ] I love you. Thank you. [ he's still not used to this - to having people who think about what he might want, and do things for him. it's the best warmest feeling. it makes him want to up his to infinity and beyond.

she's so getting the look. ]

[passingthrough]

[She wouldn't get all the way to death. Not unless it was something she really believed in and serving soft pretzels to aliens probably won't cut it. Money doesn't mean much to her but this reaction from Winn is everything. She's kissing back and laughing in between.] I love you too. I'm glad it's good. [Who knows what an alien concept of gaming is going to be like? But it seems like some aspects are universal at least. It's not a very her room but there's still a cozy bed and probably a nice warm...] Shower? Kill two birds? That sounds so unromantic and unsexy in this context. [As if killing birds sounds romantic and sexy in other contexts.]

[winn]

[ even if it weren't recognizable he'd be just as excited because it really is the thought that counts. it's such a lovely thought.

he laughs and responds by dropping his sweatshirt to the floor, then peel off his sweater - yeah, he's got a few too many layers on to be really romantic and sexy himself. they'll have to cut each other some slack there.

he pulls her into the shower, from which they emerge a good while later, clean and satisfied.

he jumps onto the bed, bouncing a little before settling down on one side of it. ]

[passingthrough]

[She settles in beside him, wearing a soft white bathrobe with a tetris-like pattern on it that was waiting for them. Her hair is still damp, but not dripping.]

Mmmm...that bathroom was bigger than our entire rooms on the ship. [Not to mention it was their own private bathroom without Wrath or Kirk walking in.] this bed might be bigger than them too. [It's definitely bigger than the beds meant for one that they always share.]
