In which the muse judges the mun

[riverborntorun]

Sweetie. If you're really going to consider putting me in a game again, you might want to stop stumbling across invite-only ones.

Besides, are you sure you're up for the commitment? Just because you're being Responsible Girl today doesn't mean you will be tomorrow.

You know I'm right.

Careful so you don't end up encouraging her.

[riverborntorun]

Careful? And just where's the fun in the that?

No, she doesn't need encouragement from me. I'm sure she'll find it elsewhere.

[comeonthensexy]

[ He just. Shakes his head. Honestly, River. ]

Oh, without a doubt. These people are very good at encouraging each other to do bad things.

[ ...maybe they're not all that different after all. ]

[riverborntorun]

They really are. From a culturally-observing standpoint it's fascinating.

[But being smack dab in the middle of all? Not so much.]</small] Speaking of bad things....miss me?

[comeonthensexy]

I am offended you feel the need to ask.

[ Which is a roundabout way of saying yes he does because what are emotions. ]

[riverborntorun]

Well then, let me make it up to you.

[Oh she can read you like a book, Doctor. Sometimes a very thick, heavy book with a chapter missing and some words redacted, but still. Even though she's primarily human she can still process your roundabout way of speaking. She smiles and slips her arms around his neck. It's a hug of sorts, though clearly more intimate than your average one.]

I miss you, too.

[comeonthensexy]

[ Well, then, he'll put his arms around her waist. But he's a professional at ruining moments, so something entirely else follows. ]

I hope you're not intending to get sappy.

[riverborntorun]

[She chuckles a little, shaking her head. How does she put up with him?] Not at all. You'd have no use for such a thing. My only intention's to see you smile, sweetie.

[comeonthensexy]

[ It's a mystery. ]

You're still doing it.

[riverborntorun]

Being 'sappy'? I am not!

[comeonthensexy]

You just said your only intention is to see me smile! How is that not sappy?

[riverborntorun]

No, that's called being a suck-up.

[That stubbornness of hers rears its ugly head.] Which I'm raised surprised you aren't used to after 900 years of people telling you how big your head is.

[And just to emphasize her point, she pokes his forehead.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ He scowls and pushes her hand away. ]

It's sappy.

[riverborntorun]

Well then what would you prefer?

[She takes both hands off of him and holds them up, waiting for an answer.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ No sap allowed but let's have a kiss instead. Or does that count as sap? It's okay sap in that case because he's doing it.

Problem? ]

[riverborntorun]

[Oh his double standard is atrocious.

She'll yell at him about it later. Kissing now.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Wow rude. You don't yell at someone for kissing you! See if he ever kisses you again.

He slips his fingers between hers, and brings their hands down before he pulls away. ]

That's better.

[riverborntorun]

[He will absolutely kiss her again, she'll make sure of it. And the next time will be REALLY sappy. So there.

She hates to admit it, but she's a bit like putty in his hands like this, her arms following the guidance of his. And then- then his lips are gone from hers, and she's left briefly confused, blinking.]

...Damn it. [This better not be a new pattern of diffusing their arguments. Spoiler alert?: it is.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ He smirks in contentment, humming a short tune as celebration. Since it seems to work, of course it is. ]

I think you mean do it again.

[riverborntorun]

[She's got her stubborn face on, the one where she doesn't want to admit he might be right.] Well. I suppose it wasn't bad.

[comeonthensexy]

[ Can't out-stubborn him, River. ]

It knocked the breath out of you.

[riverborntorun]

[She can damn well try.] Because you surprised me!

...Bet you can't duplicate the results.

[comeonthensexy]

Hah. Of course I can. Easily.

[riverborntorun]

Why don't you prove it, then?

[A CHALLENGER APPEARS.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ All right then.

He puts his hands on the back of her head, and pulls her to him as he leans down and presses his lips firmly against hers. There's definitely more intent behind this one. ]
