Now, earlier, and later. [She hands him some of the ice.] Need any on your back? [Climbing on the bed to better inspect him and help out.]

[winn]

Yeaah, I sort of got - thrown at some people.

[ his back has it the worst, alongside his face ]

[passingthrough]

[She gets a better look.] Ooh. [She carefully guides ice to a spot that looks the worst, resting it gently.] I've been thrown in battle before, but it was on my terms. We call it a fastball special.

[winn]

[ he cringes at first contact, but forces himself to relax into it.

groaning at that name, though. ]

This is all a plot to get me to play football isn't it.

[passingthrough]

You mean being abducted into a space reality show and falling hopelessly in love with a mutant? Yep. You're onto us.

[winn]

I knew it was only a matter of time til I figure it out!

[ pressing some ice to his eye ]

It's not as satisfying as I thought it'd be. [ figuring it out ]

[passingthrough]

[She kisses an uninjured section of shoulder.] I'm kind of sad I missed the bar fight. I was briefly in one with Kirk before you got here.

[winn]

You're weird.

[ he would have loved to miss it. he nods though. ]

I remember. [ being told that they were in a bar fight together. ]

[passingthrough]

I've heard the term action junkie before. Buuuut I'm getting better about it. Taking it out in dancing again.

[winn]

Wow just - completely skip over our action like it's nothing, I see how it is -

[passingthrough]

[She just starts giggling and kisses him.] Our "action" [Yes, finger quotes are being used.] is my favorite and I think I make that very clear.

[winn]

I recently got hit in the head. Like, a lot, I think I'm gonna need reminders.

[passingthrough]

Funny, you don't look as up for reminders as you did before all the bruising.

[winn]

[ he gently rests the ice against his face and gives her a sad look to rival any puppy ]

[passingthrough]

Aww. [Giggling a little as she leans in to kiss him.]

[winn]

[ he kisses back ] That's more like it -

[ she gets a little smile at that. he's hurt, he wants a little sympathy from his girlfriend, so sue him! ]

[passingthrough]

[She's here for sympathy. She just meant the mechanics of sexy times might be more painful than exciting for him right now. Not that they won't figure that out.] I'm always here for you. Even if I'm technically absent when you get into bar fights.

[winn]

That's okay, I think I'm good with just the one, wouldn't want it to get boring.

[passingthrough]

Wouldn't want that. [She shifts the ice she's holding on to another spot.] Do you want to be there when I punch Robb in a bar? [She's not going to punch Robb in a bar or anywhere else. She doesn't really blame anyone for this. Fights break out. Things happen.]

[winn]

[ he sighs a little as the ice touches a new patch of sensitive skin. ] Uhh - I would rather no one punch anyone, is that an option?

[passingthrough]

No one punch anyone... [Repeating as if it is in a foreign language and she really has to take this in.] Do those words even make sense in that order? [Is it clear she's teasing yet? Should she push it further?]

[winn]

[ he just gives her a look. ]

What does a guy have to do to get some sympathy around here? I'm going to Cisco's - [ pretending to get up ]

[passingthrough]

Oh, wow, you're trying to make me jealous now. You miss it. [She leans in for a kiss.]

[winn]

I am hurt to my core that you would think that - it also hurts right here - [ tapping his jaw. kiss it better? ]

[passingthrough]

Oh, right...right here? [Placing a soft kiss there almost as if she read the script. It's good to be on the same page with someone.] How's that?
