*Adam's been waiting - it hasn't been very long, but it feels like forever. The painting is propped up in the corner of the room, and he hasn't been able to take his eyes off of it.*

Comments

[last_adam]

Roger doesn't have any of it, anymore.


So far as I can tell.

*Adam says nothing about the second part. He can't help but think Thom deserves whatever he gets.*

[the_lioness]

*Alanna takes a deep breath, relief flooding her. She hadn't known how much that was bothering her.*

At least I won't die then. I'm afraid you're stuck with me.

*She grins, throwing her arms around his neck to kiss him soundly.*

[last_adam]

*He wraps her tightly in his arms, unable to control the smile on his face, or the look in his eyes, or the emotion in his voice.*

Thank GOD.

*And for the first time in his life, it isn't meant in sacrilege.*

[the_lioness]

Or the Goddess.

*Caught up in him, she smiles, brushing her mouth against his and nibbling on his lower lip.*

He made my ears large. Just like Thom. I just have large ears, don't I?

[last_adam]

*He grins, tugging at her ear a bit.*

I think they're perfectly Alanna-sized ears.

[the_lioness]

*She snorts, rolls her eyes a bit and hugs him.*

Thank you for talking to him. For this.

What... do we DO with it?

[last_adam]

Keep it safe.




Keep YOU safe.

[the_lioness]

I am safe. We are safe. Ingress and George are safe. For the time being, so is Tortall.

That is so lovely to say.

*She is still worried about Thom, but for the moment, all she can do is smile.*

[last_adam]

That, and I love you.

*He kisses her lightly, happy just to be able to hold her in his arms.*

[the_lioness]

I *kiss* love *kiss* you. *kiss*

*She starts pushing him gently back toward the couch.*

You know, I never would have expected this. I spent at least fifteen minutes wondering what it was.

[last_adam]

*A raise eyebrow, and he lets himself easily be pushed.*

Only fifteen minutes? Did you think perhaps it was something else?

[the_lioness]

Well, I was occupied by a surly prince, two bumbling demon hunters and a final conversation with my former Co-head of Security.

*She backs him into the couch, pushes him down and then flops into his lap. Kissing his forehead, she sighs and glances at the painting.*

Only in Milliways.

[last_adam]

Only in Milliways.

*He smiles and kisses her.*

Only in Milliways could I have found you.

[the_lioness]

This is quite true. I'm relatively certain there is no door connecting Tortall and Great Britain, although that would make things easier.

*She ruffles his hair a little, winking.*

Sorry. Got that from Raven.

[last_adam]

*Adam rolls his eyes, but grins, and kisses her.*

I'm sure we could work on it.




The door, not the ruffling.

[the_lioness]

Oh, we could work on the ruffling too.

*Both hands now, and she's giggling.*

See? Practice makes perfect.

[last_adam]

*laughing*

I think you've had quite enough practice.

[the_lioness]

Is that so? Very well. I can always brush up on my tickling.

*It's an empty threat, and she sinks down beside him on the sofa, legs over his lap as she stares at the painting.*

I can't believe he did that. This.

[last_adam]

*Running his hand in slow circles along her back.*

Neither can I.
