"I think I see interest... yes, that would be a lovely and fun evening"

"So would checkers." She points out.

A puff of amusement. "You know what I mean."

"no no... let's stick with nude checkers.. suddenly the term 'King me' raises SO many delightful imaginings for me" Wicked

A gentle shove.

A chuckle, "I confess to deserving that, but it would take a stronger man than I not to go there"

She runs a hand across his arm and chest, noting the strength there.

His eyes dance along her, and he clearly enjoys the touch, "It's good to see you relaxed, Jessica. If the best way I can help is staying out of the political, and instead holding your hand in the mundane? Then...I think I would like that too. "

"I don't know. Maybe?"

"Maybe. " A nod, "It's okay. we don't have to have everything squared away"

"Thank you for that." Softly.

"De Nada."

She nestles in a bit.

And they snuggle, quietly. She can read in him happiness even in the non banter. The world can wait. It's just them, and that's nice.
