[forgeabettertomorrow]

...What is it? Something bothering you?

[adamantlyardent]

[wearily:] Oh, what isn't bothering me at any given time of day? [she huffs, uncurling and scooching on the couch so she can get up without stepping all over him, smoothing out her gown.]

I'm going upstairs. Go tell Allura you're back.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Oh, she knows I'm back. I ran into her at the robot attack.

...You're forgetting this. [Darin holds out the little metal sculpture.]

[adamantlyardent]

[she hates how much it irritates her to realize that, of course, she's last to know. but she's going to swallow back that feeling and turn back, frowning down at the offering.]

...Thank you. [she still looks doubtful even in carefully plucking it up and cradling in her hands.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...Is there anything I can do for you?

I'm not planning on jumping back into things for another day or two.

...We could always watch a movie or something...?

[adamantlyardent]

...

[she lingers in place quietly for a beat, fighting the first impulse in her to just dismiss him outright -- some passive-aggressive better things to do snip or somesuch she'd lean into and regret almost as quickly.]

I wouldn't mind. If you want.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...I'd really like to.

I haven't watched anything in months.

...Any recommendations?

[adamantlyardent]

...A few.

[most definitely an understatement, but hey. regardless, she does sit back down.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Yeah? Anything I absolutely have to see?

...Anything where I'm gonna be upset about the pairings?

[He knows what she's about.]

[adamantlyardent]

[yeah he do.]

Gods, you don't even know.

[at which point, she'll take charge of the remote and the rest of this late night.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Well, I do know how much I've missed this.

So queue me up something good and let's get to shippin'~
