[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.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

[ he eats a little more as well. ]

That's all I want. [ he smiles softly. she deserves everything, he wants to give her everything, to provide for all her needs. he feels like he has to make up for everything the other men in her life have done. but how do you make up for her being murdered? for tyki? for how badly reid broke her heart? he can't. he can't make it better, and he's hurt her too, and he just wants her to be happy. he'd do anything to make her happy. ]

[passingthrough]

[What other men? Okay, maybe he hasn't really erased them from her memories or who she is now, but she thinks about them less and less. She feels threatened and concerned about things that happened with them less and less too. Even his story about Mon-El didn't have her thinking about what it might mean for them in any sort of bad way this time. She's growing more confident in them as a couple. She squeezes that hand of his.]

That and these fries, right?

[winn]

[ it would make him so happy to know that. ]

You got your burger - [ he shoves another fry in his mouth and grins ]

[passingthrough]

[Hard to bring up things you aren't thinking about since you're not thinking about them!] It's really good. [Smiling back.] But I lied before. I might love you a little more than it.

[winn]

Trying to make me jealous?

[ it's funny, because she really doesn't have to try for that and they both know it. even though he's actually been...pretty jealousy free for a while now. ]

[passingthrough]

I have to try? [She smiles.] As if anyone or anything else even comes close to you. [Nuzzles in.]

[winn]

Evidently -

[ cuz he wasn't jealous of the burger~ he presses a kiss to her hair. ]

[passingthrough]

You really don't need to be. I mean, I know it isn't really a need thing, but...I'm very yours.

[winn]

I'm not. I mean...not lately, anyway.

[ not to say that he's not going to be jealous ever again but...he's feeling pretty secure in this relationship right now. all that sharing they've been doing...it's hard in the moment, but it helps a lot. ]

[passingthrough]

No? [She needs a moment for that to settle in. To think about it. Maybe she hasn't looked at the current state of things so much as she remembers what happened in the past. She's trying to remember the last time. Was it the hand-holding planet and his anger over her "date" with Tyrion? That was awhile ago. She feels like she might be missing things in between but certainly nothing bigger than that. And it's not like she couldn't see why it might have concerned him.] That's good. I mean, it's really good.

[winn]

[ it was also still fairly early on in their relationship, and he constantly felt like he was losing to reid. it's not hard to get jealous when you feel like you're constantly compared to someone and coming out the loser in every comparison.

not to say that he wouldn't get jealous if she, say, started to pay a lot of attention to another man, or get a video game and give it to someone else (with the exception of a child. he'll accept prioritizing a child). but generally, he feels pretty secure in this relationship now.

is that bad? does it mean that this is where everything gets fucked up? he sure hopes not. ]

Okay you look way too surprised...was I that bad?

[passingthrough]

You've never been bad in any way. [She smiles at him.] I just hadn't really stopped to think about how that part of things has changed. I guess I just came to expect it.

[So, no giving out video games this holiday season. Got it.]

[winn]

[ she can give them! as long as he gets a copy.

he gives her hand another little squeeze. ]

We know each other better now.

[passingthrough]

[She squeezes back in return.] We do.

You know there's no one else I'd rather hold hands with while eating a burger, right?

[winn]

But there's someone you'd rather hold hands with while eating pizza?

[ quirking a brow, but he's smiling. he had to go for the joke, come on. ]

[passingthrough]

[Of course he did. Only makes her love him more.] Nope. Maybe mac and cheese. [Kiss.]

[winn]

[ kiss! ]

Oh...you're gonna take that back when we get supplies. I may not know how to cook a lot of things but I make a mean mac and cheese.

[passingthrough]

Now you're just trying to turn me on. [Smirking.] It's working.

[winn]

I have to try?

[passingthrough]

Does it seem like you have to try?

[winn]

Nope.

[ smuggest of grins (but they both know he'll keep trying anyway) as he leans in for another kiss --

and then grab himself a sandwich. ]

[passingthrough]

Then you've figured me out. All neglect from here I bet. [She doesn't bet that at all. He's the overachiever here and that is something considering who he is up against.]

[winn]

What're we betting?

[ because he will win the hell out of that bet. which will result in both of them winning, so. ]

[passingthrough]

What do you want? [Has to be something good since she knows she'll "lose."]

[winn]

You and me - duet - next karaoke night.

[ instantly. ]
