I think in your situation I woulda felt the same way.

[searingedgelord]

[She tilts her head]

You think so?

[grandschemed]

Pissed as hell?

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. Sounds about right.

[grandschemed]

[ nods ]

I hope you get back at 'em -- whoever put you there.

[searingedgelord]

I think...that’s what I wanted, too.

[a thoughtful pause]

Do you mind...hanging around for awhile?

[grandschemed]

'Course not. I wouldn't wanna leave you alone after seein' that.

[ a pause ]

Unless ya wanted me to, but I don't expect that.

[searingedgelord]

No...

[Being alone seems pretty bad. Like could she deal with it? Yeah. Does she want to? Probably not.

But also she wouldn’t necessarily blame if he didn’t want to stick around.]

I’d rather have you here.

[a beat]

I could make you lunch or something.

[grandschemed]

I'd offer to make you lunch but I feel like I'd still be pretty shit at it...

[searingedgelord]

[shit...that’s really cute. She huffs quietly and smiles just a little in spite of the situation]

It’s okay. Doing something normal might be nice.

[after remembering 3 years of hell, stress cooking seems legit somehow?]

[grandschemed]

Probably helps to distract yourself, yeah?

[ he moves, trying to reach forward and hold her hand ]

[searingedgelord]

[she is, maybe, a little surprised but she takes his hand. And relaxes just a little.]

Yeah, I think so.

[grandschemed]

[ touching is nice look ]

You wanna head to the kitchen, then?

[searingedgelord]

[it is nice. But also still something she doesn’t always expect in spite of being on this team awhile. Handholding also continues to be a surefire way to kill her]

Yeah. And I guess we need to decide what we want. You in the mood for anything?

[grandschemed]

[ hmmmm. ]

What's somethin' you've been thinkin' of giving a shot?

[searingedgelord]

Pie. But that’s usually more of a dessert.

[grandschemed]

Could ya put meat in it?

[searingedgelord]

...Yeah, probably. Meat and some gravy.

[grandschemed]

Now that sounds good.

[searingedgelord]

Okay. I'll give it a try.

[grandschemed]

Need some points for it?

[searingedgelord]

No, I’m okay. I’ve been saving.

[she takes out her phone so she can make the purchase]

[grandschemed]

Thanks. It is nice havin' someone who cares enough to cook.

[searingedgelord]

You think so?

[grandschemed]

I mean, we're not really domestic types.
