The Last Breath of Goodness

[crackofthunder]

He's meeting her back at the old base. It's been cleaned a bit since last time they met there - it's had to be, since he was hiding her weird icky dino-self there for a while and feeding it. It'll be good to see her as she's supposed to be again

Her mind was unquiet, it's been a long week, learning about Vulcan's death, the identity of the man who'd ordered her family's death... knowing Alex had known and not told her. The only good part was learning that Kitty wouldn't be dead when she goes back to Earth. She puts on a good act for her friends, but it's starting to wear thin again.

So she'd gone inside to wait for Thunder, knowing that he'd probably be the only thing that could distract her tonight.

So that's where he'll find her, sitting, staring into a glass of wine and, well, brooding. "Hey, stop to do some shopping along the way?"

[crackofthunder]

"Yeah," he says, releasing a breath he didn't know he was holding at the sight of her. So glad she's rid of the lizard thing, and it brings him a smile - not aware of her inner troubles at the moment.

"I'd like to be able to offer you breakfast this time."

She groans and give him a weary smile. "I wish I could... I really, really wish I could, but I have classes in the morning. I'll have to leave."

She crosses to help with the bag and give him a quick kiss on the cheek. "But next time, I promise."

[crackofthunder]

That's... cute. She's cute.

He lets her take the bag while he hangs up his hat and coat.

"I'll hold you to that, then. How much time do we have, then?"

[crackofthunder]

He grins widely at that, glad to hear her choosing him over sleep.

"Is that to say that I still have some time to show you how much I appreciate having you here?"

Another pair of forehead kisses, and a hand running over her arm, pushing away all the thoughts of fear and worry.
