[heyboss]

There is nothing twisted and weird about it.

[He smiles.]

Have I ever told you what made me fall in love with Arthur?

[Strange, he thinks, how easily that comes out now. Or maybe it's just Sokie's influence.]

[weirdnecro]

I know. But saying it as a joke makes me feel better.

[She tilts her head up at him, offering a small smile. Funny how much they trust each other so much so quickly.]

But no, you didn't. What's the story?

[heyboss]

[This is how friendship is supposed to be. He leans against her as they talk, as if imparting a great secret.]

There were these terrible monsters. Awful things. Someone had brought them in but - I'm not certain of the story.

I was pinned down, calling for help, and here comes Arthur with a goddamn flaming sword to battle it off of me.

There have been books written about this very scenario.

[weirdnecro]

[She very casually moves to wrap an arm around the back of his shoulders as he talks.

This is nice. There's a part of her that feels spooked by that but- it's nice.]

You're telling me that Arthur came in like a knight and saved you?

That's something out of a romantic novel, Lester.

[heyboss]

I know! So I really couldn't resist. Of course, it took him a lot longer to realize it, but he got there eventually.

[He happily leans into that touch as they walk.]

[weirdnecro]

Ah well, he's a little silly. That's to be expected.

[She chuckled quietly. ]

And now you're married. I'm happy you both found each other eventually. Arthur with a flaming sword...what a look.

[heyboss]

I'll ask him to recreate it one day. He'll hate it. It'll be fantastic.

[He takes her to the elevator and lets go to push the button.]

[weirdnecro]

He can make it anytime? Or would this be in the Enclosure?

Because he needs to pose either way.

[She leaned against him, smiling as she waited for the elevator. ]

I call dibs on full teasing rights.

[heyboss]

I have no idea what he can do. But there is a sword he keeps.

And you can tease him. As long as I can witness it.

[He can't let him get away that easily.]

[weirdnecro]

If he has it, I want to see it.

[She offered a mock double take.]

As if I'd leave you out! I'm planning on taking pictures of his offended face anyway. I'll send them to you.

[Ding goes the elevator. And she gives him a gentle nudge so they can get on.]

[heyboss]

[Once inside, he pushes the button and leans against the opposite wall, hands in his pockets.]

You do love me. There is no sweeter image that an offended Arthur.

[weirdnecro]

Of course I do, utterly.

[She placed a hand over her heart, even as she leaned against the other wall.]

I'd never deprive you that much fun.

[heyboss]

Always looking out for me. I appreciate it.

[He laughs, and when the door opens, he gestures for her to step through first.]

Did you move all your things back to John's?

[weirdnecro]

Of course~

[She smiles back at him, stepping out before him- but waiting right by the door for him to exit.]

Not yet, but it's going to be slow progress. In part because my room has a lot of odds and ends of things I've collected, as well as my magic journals.

But I hadn't fully moved in before. Honestly, it was because...I barely used it.

[heyboss]

[He follows, guiding her down the hall and pulling his key from his pockets.]

And you need to have that extra room added, too.

It didn't take me long to move in but - you saw my cabin. Nothing really to move.

[weirdnecro]

Exactly. I plan to let John know I want to have that particular room warded, when we get it- and maybe add a trip wire spell if someone were to enter without permission.

[She shook her head.]

You have your books, clothes, and likely some other things that I don't know about. I've got work tools, plus tracking spells and things I've created.

[She pauses, cocking her head up.]

And shoes.
