I’ll keep that in mind for when you come visit me in the summer.

I might be forced to.

[she chuckles as she sets her plate on the coffee table]

That was a really nice meal, thank you.

It’s one thing to illegally harbour a vigilante in your apartment, it’s another to harbour a smelly vigilante.

[without the plates to get in the way, she reaches for his hand, skimming her fingers along skin.]

Don’t worry about me, but you probably should go, I don’t want to keep you too long.

I’m sure the fish wouldn’t notice, they’d need the smell to be in the water, right? That’s how they breathe so smell would probably be the same.

[she slips her fingers between his]

Ok, don’t worry about me too much, but a reasonable amount considering the state of the city.

[there is a tiny hitch of breath as his lips are placed so close to her.]

Maybe I think it’s a good idea.

[she smiles]

Good, I will trust your reasonable nature.

[his smile is really beautiful, and she likes being the cause of it]

But maybe they will smell you, we can’t ever be completely sure.

[She is lucky enough to have a dishwasher to load the rinsed dishes into.]

This has been really nice.

The most epic poems for you and no less.

[she steps closer and reaches to touch his cheek. She stands on her toes and presses a tiny kiss to his cheek]

Be safe out there, okay?
