@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ you're gonna be soo relaxed by tonight. ⠀ (nudging at his side with an elbow, ⠀ already taking the patch off.) ⠀ those wings sauce was good, ⠀ too. ⠀ let's get some for dinner tomorrow.
⠀ ⠀ please, ⠀ c'mon, ⠀ ori. ⠀ (taking her challenge, ⠀ he does throw the bottle to the bin; ⠀ it goes straight to the middle.) ⠀ that just means a bigger target that's easier to hit.
Yeah yeah, I’m sure you would’ve been there for the big bang too.
[ She holds up the recycling bin for him to aim at. ]
You wouldn’t have the ease of guns though. And as someone who’s hunted megafauna, I can’t imagine doing it without one.
@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ 's alright, ⠀ i get it. ⠀ (giving a small, ⠀ soft pat to chris' belly, ⠀ omar stood up first, ⠀ licking the remaining sauce on his fingers.) ⠀ you want that bath or not? ⠀ i give some mean massages.
⠀ ⠀ fuck i'm not, ⠀ i'm older. ⠀ (chuckling behind the rim of his bottle, ⠀ he finishes it up in one drink.) ⠀ little more and i would've been at the fuckin' mamuts' throats.
Not if I’ve got a good aim. You should be able to tell that, Master Sniper.
[ She leans back in her chair, smiling. This is what she loved about her teammates. ]
You’re not /that/ old.
@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ we work around it, ⠀ alright? ⠀ you don't gotta tell me now, ⠀ but just———tell me, ⠀ literally anything. ⠀ yeah? ⠀ don't leave me in the dark, ⠀ man; ⠀ i know it looks like it, ⠀ but i can't read your damn mind just yet.
@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ christ, ⠀ i feel like a middle schooler with a crush. ⠀ (pressing his face against his hands, ⠀ omar moves his leg out of chris's own.) ⠀ okay, ⠀ listen. ⠀ we ⠀ .. ⠀ (now it's him who sounds nervous, ⠀ clearing his throat.) ⠀
⠀ ⠀ you're gonna end up gettin' one of those in my good eye, ⠀ y'know? ⠀ (this time, ⠀ aware, ⠀ he does catch it. ⠀ shakes it in the air, ⠀ even.) ⠀ that's elderly abuse.
You think I don’t have a change of dry civilian clothes I keep here? I’m prepared, just like I’m supposed to be.
[ She cracks open a different bottle, tossing him the cap before taking a sip. ]
@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ gestures, ⠀ vaguely; ⠀ they convey absolutely nothing at all, ⠀ except, ⠀ maybe, ⠀ his own complication.) ⠀ fuck, ⠀ just tell me to step down and i will. ⠀ or, ⠀ like, ⠀ to drop it. ⠀ i don't know, ⠀ anything.
@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ i don't know. ⠀ is it? ⠀ (with a heavy sigh, ⠀ omar bit on his lower lip, ⠀ looking away. ⠀ he couldn't quite help the grimace.) ⠀ listen, ⠀ man. ⠀ i don't care that you've got issues with your ex, ⠀ just ⠀ .. ⠀ (he
⠀ ⠀ (it's all disadvantages when you work with dinosaur relics, ⠀ yeah.) ⠀ thing is, ⠀ smarty pants, ⠀ i can get some more water. ⠀ you can't get some more inmune system.
[ Being one of the younger wolves definitely has no benefits. ]
I’ve dealt with worse. Worst that’ll happen is I’ll get a cold, and you’ll stay dehydrated.
@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ yeah, ⠀ thanks for that. ⠀ your abs are so salty and defined i almost forgot you avoiding the topic all week. ⠀ (rolling his eye, ⠀ slightly annoyed, ⠀ before leaning back upfront.) ⠀ don't play stupid, ⠀ chris.
⠀ ⠀ you're so lucky i won't throw this water on your for that. ⠀ (next movement: ⠀ banning tiktok from the workplace. ⠀ hellish app.) ⠀ though i should.
You’re so lucky we don’t have an HR— ow!
[ The bottle cap bounces off her forehead with a clack before falling to her lap. ]
Not interested, you can have him. Your alpha~!
@awarwithinhim ⠀ ⠀ you, ⠀ what? ⠀ (leaning back on the table, ⠀ one leg goes to rest on top of chris' own, ⠀ just to keep him from getting up.) ⠀ gonna keep ignorin' me after the thing with your ex's pic or what?
