"You had me leave my network and organization." he points out mildly "Solo agents have short careers."

"Okay" She takes a seat "Are you mad at me?"

Then she shakes her head "Wait, nevermind that. Let's stick on the practical. You and I have struck blows on noble holds before with just the two of us. Considerable ones"

"I'm not saying you're wrong that it's easier with more, but I did want to point out we're quite the force"

"I am -not- mad at you." he reassures her "You simply triggered an existential crisis, one I am not through yet."

"And yes, we are."

"mmm" She nods "it's not fair of me to make this ABOUT Me, but I can't help feel guilty if I've contributed to your distress. " A breath "I love you. And I know that your crisis does not mean you love me any less. How can I help?"

A chuckle. "Let me work through it." simply.

"Oh Patience, the one virtue i have trouble faking" A playful huff but she smiles "I'll try."

"Just.. keep me informed of progress?" Hopeful

"Of course, My Dearest. When I can. Please be patient with me."

"Only fair, you always are with me" She kissses him, then parts

A snert. "Of course."

"Now, with the show over, what shall we do for dinner tonight?" She offers

"Is there something you fancy?"

"you, but that's always the case. I just wanted to know if you wanted to out to a fancy place where we can be professionally spoiled... or if you wanted us to cook together at home?"

"I... oh dear. I want to take you out to the best there is the area... but I wish to stay... close; private. I confess a need to keep to myself."

"Bear in his cave it is" She strokes his face "Let's cook together, or if you want, we can order delivery and I'll get whatever is at the door. "

"What would you prefer?"

"Let's do both, we work on the main course, and order some sweets from that little bakery for dessert"

(And feel free to post in Fenix while Rahne is on, which maybe brief depending)

"Yes, of course. Just... I will need time, Dearest."

"Would you like to cook alone? I don't mind" She assures

"No, I could... nibble."

"Are we talking the food, or my ear lobe?" A smile

"Let's try one, then the other."

A smile "Then let's do just that"

"Indeed."

She takes it easy with him, and he gets to nibble the food she prepares at the pace he likes.

Though she prefers he start with the LEFT ear when it comes to lobes
