An Open Fire. With chloeas.

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver lay on the floor of the cabin, stretched out in front of the fireplace, watching the flames dance and flicker before him. He glanced up when he caught sight of movement from the corner of his eye and smiled a bit when he turned to see Chloe staring out the window at the rapidly falling snow

[chloeas]

Chloe grinned softly and shook her head, "not the point, the point is that first you start getting used to being in control and next thing you know, you quit listening to the Watchtower when you're out there and get yourself in trouble."

[dl_greenarrow]

"Ouch. How about a little give and take in this relationship?" His voice was still light, amused. "You tell me what to do on missions, and I'll tell you how to train and ease the pain from excercise."

[chloeas]

At that, she turned on her side to look at him, considering for a moment, "I guess I can work with that."

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver grinned at her. "Feel better?" he asked, searching her eyes.

[chloeas]

She laid back on her bed and stretched, nodding, "yeah, thank you."

[dl_greenarrow]

He smiled and laid down on his back beside her. "Good," he said softly.

[chloeas]

With a deep breath, she looked over at him for a second then towards one of the windows, "if it keeps snowing like that, I don't think we'll be able to do a lot of archery practicing."

[dl_greenarrow]

"We'll do it when we get back to Metropolis," he promised, letting his eyes close for a moment. The heat from the fire felt good.

[chloeas]

With a nod, she shrugged a little, "I guess we still have some time, anyway." Considering that as far as they knew, Zod's towers were nothing more than a project at the moment.

[dl_greenarrow]

He yawned involuntarily and rolled onto his side to face her. He propped his head up on one hand and gazed at her for a moment. "Yeah, I suppose so."

[chloeas]

She raised her eyebrows and smiled softly, watching him, deciding against thinking anything related to Zod, "tired?"

[dl_greenarrow]

"Yes and no. If that makes any sense." He grinned a little.

[chloeas]

Shaking her head, she smirked at him and turned on her side to face him too, "you might have to explain that one."

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver grinned a bit more. "Well, physically I'm tired, but my mind is not even close to wanting to sleep."

[chloeas]

"Ah," she nodded, placing an arm under her head and laying on it as she looked up at him, "relaxing, then? I'm pretty sure that's the point of being here anyway."

[dl_greenarrow]

He nodded slightly, mimicking her position and gazing at her. "Can I ask you something?" His voice was quiet.
