She looked up at him thoughtfully. "I love you too." * * * He made a silly face. * * * Ellis hugged her back, kissing the top of her head.
He brushed her hair back before pulling away. *** She covered her mouth as she grinned before continuing brushing her teeth. *** She looked up, her thumb brushing his jaw.
She was looking up at him, her cheeks pink from embarrassment. "Hm." * * * He spit before rinsing his mouth. * * * "Moose and I are overlords."
“I should probably put my shirt back on,” she said slowly. *** “Ready for bed?” *** “Despite our dictatorship?”
He pursed his lips before offering it to her. *** She nodded, opening her arms to him. *** "Yes, even then."
She noticed the pursed lips with a frown. “What?” *** He picked her up, carrying her to the room. *** “We appreciate that.”
"Here's your shirt," he said playfully. *** She grinned, resting her head on his shoulder. "The best." *** "Good. Let's get some sleep."
She frowned, putting it back on. “Thank you...?” *** He set her on the bed gently. “You’re in a good mood.” *** He nodded, kissing the top of her nose.
He gave a nod, sitting back and getting his own shirt. *** "What can I say? I had a great night." *** She stretched out before lying back.
She leaned back on the bed, opening her arms to him. * * * "Oh?" he asked with a smirk, lying next to her. "You did, hm?" * * * He looked down at her before setting Moose next to her and lying down.
He slipped it on and joined her with a small smile. *** She looked over at him and rolled her eyes. "Obviously." *** She scooted nearer, resting her head on his shoulder.
She looked up at him thoughtfully, kissing his jaw gently. "I love you." * * * "I see. We'll have to do it again sometime." * * * "Sleep well."
He grinned at her. "I love you too." *** She nodded in agreement. "I would like that." *** She looked up at him before kissing his cheek. "You too."
She closed her eyes, her nose brushing his neck and her hand curled on his chest. * * * He planted a kiss in her hair gently. "You should sleep." * * * He nodded, closing her eyes and slipping his arms around her waist.
He brushed her hair back before closing his eyes as well. *** She nodded, hugging him and closing her eyes. *** It didn't take long for her drift off like this.
Emerson was standing in front of Jaz and Ellis, reviewing a file. "This is a tough one, you guys," he said, looking up at the two of them with a frown. "I would have Aisling with you, but I figure it's better in smaller numbers, and... well.. if someone had to scout solo, I'd figure it would be better for it to be her."
