"Okay." Curtis upends the bag of winter clothes on the floor of Dejah's room, spreading them out so she can get a better look. "This oughta be enough. It's not that bad out today."

Since Curtis's definition of not that bad out is a tad skewed, there's still quite a bit of clothing in the pile. A jacket, two sweaters (one thinner than the other), long pants, long johns, a scarf, mittens, boots, plush socks, a pair of bright purple earmuffs...

And, of course, a hat.

With pompoms and earflaps.

(Bar, you are the best.)

"Have you seen the warnings posted every month around the full moon?" Her tone clearly conveys that one should always be prepared for every eventuality.

She looks back at him. "It warns the patrons to stay indoors on nights when the were-creatures are out hunting. I'm not sure the rabbits are all we'll have to worry about."

"To be fair, you have been a little distracted." The corner of her mouth quirks up. "I understand there's more than a few of them around. Patrons, so technically they're supposed to abide by the rules of the Bar. I haven't had a chance to research the subject adequately." She hums under her breath, one shoulder quirking up a bit.

"So, how would you feel about adding a second storey?"

She feels it, familiar now, and puffs a warm breath of acceptance into the cold void its rapid subsidence left behind. It's all right. She has good reasons for such a proposal, but his opinion matters, in every step of this project.

"Well, we're just picking out a site today. I still want to do some research. You've seen the book of sketches I made before I even began working on your arm. Can you imagine how thick the book of my designs for a whole building will be?" She gestures to indicate a book that's twice as big in page area and still thicker than her other sketchbooks.

She leans into the kiss, glad to wrap her arms around his middle and give a light squeeze.

"Only the good ones," she singsongs, playfully defensive. "But single story with a fence, two storey with a wall, two storeys with a roof garden? And then we start talking about the actual style of the thing."

Curtis, she's a maker. You knew this early days.

"No, my love. You have far more than that to offer." She can't talk with her hands very well while wearing mittens, but it doesn't keep her from trying. "First off, you have an idea in your head, and I do not wish to stray too far from that. I'll need you to reign me in."

Something catches, flutters behind her breastbone, a shimmer of delight blossoming in response to his laughter, his smile.

"I haven't forgotten," she murmurs, grinning. "We're building it together. For us."
dejah_thoris: (cheeky smirk)

She leans in close to rest her brow against his, feel his breath warm on her cheeks.

"You? Being a stubborn ass about something? No, this would never happen."

She may be pulling his tail. Just a little.

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-01-26 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
She joins him, coughing a little as she gets a lungful of cold air. She huddles against him, nuzzles along his cheek. It may be an excuse to steal a kiss.

"All right, I'm beginning to see the appeal of having a beard."
dejah_thoris: (tenderness)

She steals another and another, as many as he'll let her. "Convenient And practical. And here I thought it was your way of hiding away that incredibly handsome smile."

"Mostly, but not in its full glory," she answers, her grin in full blossom now. She returns the touch, staying close. "Sweet Issus, you're beautiful when you smile."

"Good idea," she murmurs, pulling back reluctantly. She shakes her bracelet down and touches her thumb to the gem.

"I'll take readings of the terrain, and mark it in relation to the lake. You want to find us a piece of wood or something large we can leave?"
