A snort. "Typical."

"I know, no surprise. Turns out though that htis has put some resentment. I got the name of a local who is PISSED. Maybe a bit too vocal about being pissed, but pissed."

"Oh, excellent, Dearest! That may give us the edge we need!"

"Runs a local hardware store" she says not realizing he's already sure which one

A chuckle. "Dearest, you are a marvel." he kisses her thoroughly.

She kisses him back, rather enjoying the attention "Well my word, I need to talk to Eshu more often" As she starts to rev

"Mmm..." he purrs back to her, and fills her in. On what he knows.

Oh that leads to more laughter, and more kisses

"Mmm. A flight and a rental and a hotel. And a bit of an adventure."

"With frequent sex?" Hopeful

"Of course." another kiss-in-kind.

ANd she is tempted to take him then and there "Be awhile before we get traveling anyway..."

"Oh, a day at least, sadly." he traces his fingertips down her throat.

"Well, that's enough for us to make love, then cook a big dinner after... wanna burn some calories?"

"Oh yes, please." with a smile and he stands to take her hand as she rises.

Her hand slips into his, she presses tight against him as they head to their room

Wherein they... collaborate.

Oh yes, collaboration is crucial to any successful relationship

(Fade to collaboration now, and cooking a big meal later)
