[Text] Maybe some help?

[reluctantbastard]

So, how many people got those snow leopard things on Selvin-9?

What did you name them? I'm having a difficult time because this is the first time I've had anything like a pet. Um, I think it's a male.

Any suggestions?

I'm trying to remember why I love you right now. It's questionable.

[bryces_pup]

[Well then.

She decides this is better handled in person, so she quietly stalks the ship until she finds him. Coming up from behind him, she wraps her arms around him, leaning down to whisper into his ear.]

I'll gladly remind you.

[He's in the lab, cat in question not a few feet away. He tries to keep a stern look on his face when Riona enters, but it's a lost cause.]

If you're trying to butter me up, I'd like to remind you that I'm not a roll.

[bryces_pup]

Mmmm, but you're so yummy.

[She presses a kiss to the side of his neck.]

And warm. Just one of many reasons why I love you.

[reluctantbastard]

[He might not be a roll, but he is most definitely a sucker when it comes to this woman.]

Then perhaps you should tell me more of those reasons while you help me think of a name for the cat.

[bryces_pup]

That's quite a lot of multi-tasking you're asking of me. Listing off all those reasons will take awhile, and trying to think of a name at the same time?

[reluctantbastard]

I believe in you. You're much better at multitasking than I am, after all.

[Fighting a Blight, helping calm down two civil wars, taking pity on him and allowing him to worship her.... She can do it.]

That's why you're queen, right?

[bryces_pup]

[Love isn't pity, you silly man.]

I believe I'm queen because I married you, the king. That's how that usually works.

[reluctantbastard]

[But can pity lead to love?]

Trust me, you'd be a queen even if you hadn't married me.

[His queen, if nothing else.]

[bryces_pup]

[Not true love, which is what they have.]

Er, then of what exactly?

[reluctantbastard]

[He turns to her and gives her an overly infatuated face that is mostly for show before answering her in a silly voice.]

The queen of my heart, madam.

[bryces_pup]

[How can she not laugh at that? So of course that's what she does.]

You ridiculous man. [She leans down and kisses him.] You ridiculous, silly, wonderful man.

[reluctantbastard]

[Well, she has a sense of humor, so it's good to see that she uses it. He's rather fond of her laugh. And kisses.]

You almost sound like you're complaining. I'm offended.

[bryces_pup]

Complaining? Never, not about you. [A pause.] Well, except when your breath smells like old cheese. Then there's a bit of complaining involved.

[reluctantbastard]

Now I'm truly offended, wife.

[Cheese is amazing. Be quiet.]

Absolutely heartbroken.

[bryces_pup]

Oh, for - cheese itself is fine! It just makes your breath stinky. [She rolls her eyes at him before poking his side.]

[reluctantbastard]

[Instead of responding to that, because who can fault that particular logic, he pulls her down into his lap for a kiss. (Cheese of all kinds is great, but not all of it leaves the freshest of smells.)]

This isn't exactly helping me name the cat, but I suppose I'm not in a rush if you're going to be so enticing.

[bryces_pup]

[She grins as he pulls her in, arms wrapping around him before she returns the kiss.]

I always try to be enticing. That and I have no decent names for the cat, so this is easier.
