Thar makes him frown into his coffee. It really is that bad.

"I await your next shipment with baited breath. Anything for decent caf."

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

"All will be well."

She, too, has plans. And they both know the work will further each other's ends.

"In time. For now... I'm happy you could spare a moment. The caf is sweeter for it."

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

Not so much as a glimmer of emotion across his features. As expected.

He has a plan-but he is waiting for the right opportunity to implement it.

"Would that I could do more. Alas, where I go, few should follow."

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

"Anything you ask. Though an order might be necessary to extricate me from the capital," she says softly.

Her eyes drift toward her closed door for a moment, safely in her quarters.

"I've been... granted more protection. From Vader."

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

He smiles behind the rim of his mug. They're already calling her his wife aboard-quietly.

"I can't wait. Anything else I should be expecting?"

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

"Nor am I. But I was gifted some from a grateful Outer Rim distributor... it's been a saving grace the last few days."

Amid the interruptions.

"Your expression settles it. You'll have some by next week."

//and then it occurs to me i have a really cool looking exile in Conan Exiles I could use as a FC 🤔

The look on his face says 'from the horrors I see every day.'

"Cularin, you say? I am not familiar."

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

"Perhaps I ought to send along a few tins for you in the next shipment," she muses. "This blend from Cularin is quite rich."

A softer gaze at the holo of him before her.

"Something to better fortify your morning."

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

"Far from it. But it will do. Shipboard coffee is... questionable, at best, but it accomplishes its purpose."

Swirling the caf in his mug. Enough cream and sugar makes even the worst coffee palatable.

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

A warm tone, as gentle as her smile in his mind.

"Blame the caf. I took one sip and thought, 'I wonder if he's having one just as good'.

So, are you?"

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

A smile as he answers.

"You always seem to know when I'm awake."

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

A gentle ping sounds from his comm.

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

Whatever she likes.

[—𝐢𝐥𝐢'𝐚𝐬𝐮'𝐤𝐮𝐭. @FINALSUKUT]

mm…what’s for breakfast?

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

Would she like breakfast

or more sleep?

[—𝐢𝐥𝐢'𝐚𝐬𝐮'𝐤𝐮𝐭. @FINALSUKUT]

lays her head on his shoulder.

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

Picks her up.

He wakes not long after, but gives her time to do whatever it is she is doing out there.

He steps out some 45 minutes later, freshly washed and well rested.

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

Up and in the kitchen before @ExiledChiss wakes this morning, quietly focused and, for once, calm as she enjoys the rare chance to make something sweet.

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

They both know that isn’t true, but it warms his heart to hear her say it all the same. He drapes the sheets over them, settles her against him

and r e l a x e s.

“I wish you wouldn’t. Life would be easy. I would be content.”

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

Dinner, questions, Everything can happen later.

Dressed more comfortably in a soft shift, hair finally let down, Reine wastes no time in joining Thrawn.

Settling with him, Truly resting, her mind finally slows, and her body melts into a rare ease.

"I may never let you up."

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

//what's the first thing Thrawn and Reine do when they reconnect?

nap

they're fucking adults who work ridiculous hours

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

It doesn't take him long to clean up-he hadn't gotten far in setting up dinner, anyways.

He settles immediately in the bed, holding open the sheets for her so she can climb in.

[ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ ʀᴇɪɴᴇ ᴄᴏʀʟɪꜱ @ReineCorlis]

How well he knows her.

She offers no explanation for why - she's certain those stories will come tumbling out as they catch up.

All she does is turn her head softly, pressing a soft kiss to the heel of his palm, before reluctantly moving from him toward the bedroom to change.

[ᴛ ʜ ʀ ᴀ ᴡ ɴ @ExiledChiss]

Is up

and preparing coffee before he feeds his pets.
