[r͟a͟v͟e͟n͟.̲ @bIuemystic]

ah, it’s nice of him to ask but she’s usually pissed off at anyone and everything.

[ً @steelrots]

a good diet does wonders, you know?

but a sweet treat every now and then doesn’t hurt. * 🙂‍↕️

i’m glad!

[ً @steelrots]

oh , you are going to make a blondie like me blush . the design is sweet . I appreciate all the little touches .

halloween huh ? charles did ask me if i wanted to lead pumpkin carving this year .

( the warm smile appears again . )

well , no scratches on me today .

[‏ً @emberisen]

it suits you. don’t you know, i spent an hour just picking out the design just for you?

it’s halloween season. i foresee a new, custom shirt in your future.

( leaning into his side, popping a carrot into her mouth. )

i really don’t.

[ً @steelrots]

oh , maybe that will add to the trove of oddly cute gifts you’ve gotten me over the years .

i still have that christmas sweater that you insist i wear every year .

( he playfully nudged her back . )

you really don’t like it when they get a scratch on me, do you?

[‏ً @emberisen]

don’t joke with me now, i really will get you a shirt.

( she grins, a playful nudge of her elbow given to his side. )

of course i’d have your back. who will i swipe things off of if something happened to you, hm?

[ً @steelrots]

are you ?

you told me to eat my greens the other day .

your excitement brings joy to my day .

[‏ً @emberisen]

hey now, i’m not that bossy.

i’m so excited! * 😁

[ً @steelrots]

okay , bossy boots . 🤭

coming right up ! 🧑‍🍳

[‏ً @emberisen]

either works.

carrot cake? make it two big slices. * 🤤

[ً @steelrots]

wow . i should get that on a mug or a t-shirt. ‘ jean’s most stylish detective ‘

( he would sit down , joining her. all well cut , dressed nice. his shirt hugging his figure comfortably . )

glad to hear you’ll have my back there .

[‏ً @emberisen]

i am. you’ll be the most stylish detective ever seen once i’m done with you.

( a content hum, patting the empty seat beside her for him to join. )

don’t you worry about any bad guys. i’ll pop ‘em for you.

[ً @steelrots]

yes boss , i mean jean 🫡

it’s carrot cake , family recipe .

[‏ً @emberisen]

PLEASE, share it with me.

[ً @steelrots]

i’m baking a cake right now .

[‏ً @emberisen]

one of you is thinking about cake right now and i need you to stop, because i’ve been craving cake all day and i will not be held responsible for the horrendous behaviour that will follow should i get even a WHIFF of cake.

[ً @steelrots]

oh , great. given you an idea . are you picking the outfit ? i am going to feel like i’m a model .

( he took a piece of carrot & popping it into his mouth . )

yeah , that’s true . i do love a good hug or a cuddle . don’t think the bad guys will like shouting teddy bear .

[‏ً @emberisen]

hey, now there’s an idea. we’ll get you an outfit and everything.

( snickering, though she shoots a look of gratitude his way as she digs back into the hummus. )

don’t act like you wouldn’t like a hug. you’re a big teddy bear, really.

[ً @steelrots]

@emberisen / reporting for duty 🤝

[ً @steelrots]

I ain’t no telepath, but i’d make a hell of a detective .

( he smiles back at her, warm & comforting like a hot chocolate .)

oh , you like the fleece huh , next minute you’ll want to give me a big warm hug . and hey , don’t stop eating . I like that smile of yours .

[‏ً @emberisen]

alright, you’ve got me.

( with an amused grin, jean nudges the hummus towards him. )

i needed something to go with my carrots. the fleece was just a bonus, it’s a little chilly.
