He rolls his eyes, arms folding as he mimics her posture. “Really? He sounds like a fool.”
“Maybe.” She admits, her lips curling in amusement. “But I’m in love with him so I can overlook those parts.”
“Oh, do tell.“ His mandibles spread into a knowing grin.
She grins and leans back on one leg, her eyes finding his. "Well you see, my mentor got shot in the shoulder, and started bleeding out on me.”
“I could say the same to you, Commander. How you’ve managed to dodge death so many times, I have no idea.”
“I’m not entirely certain myself. Though someone once told me I had a good mentor, so I probably picked up the habit form him.”
“Nihlus.” She greets him with a warm smile and a dip of her head. “Good to see you alive and well.”
“Oh? And why not?”
“If I stop I wont have the energy to start back up again. It’s easier if I just finish them now.”
[He pauses before stepping closer to her and running his talons through her hair.] “Then take a break. The reports can wait.”
[She sighs happily, a soft smile softening her features.] “Gods, that feels good… But I can’t.”
[Without thinking, he reaches out and turns her head to face him.] “It does not make the most sense, but, ah, I suppose it’s not supposed to. Spirits, I’m a mess, but I miss you.”
[She leans into his touch, her eyes sliding shut.] “I missed you too, Nihlus… More than I’ll ever be able to say.”
“Hey, hey, calm yourself, Jules—Commander. I am only concerned.”
[She sighs and rubs the side of her neck in embarrassment.] “I’m sorry, I didn’t meant to snap. It’s just been a long day, and these reports keep piling up.”
“I… Er…“ [He clears his throat again.] ”I want you back.”
[Her eyes widen slightly and she looks away.] “How can you… I mean. I want you back. I love you. But afte everything I did…”
[Seeing her face redden makes his own heat up, and he clears his throat in response.] “I’m glad the feeling is mutual. Now, what must I do?”
[She blinks slowly, her face heating up even more.] “Do? I’m… I don’t…”
[He laughs awkwardly.] “Y-You know, ah, reunite? I have… Missed you.”
[eyes widen] “I-I-I …missed you too, Nihlus." [blushes]
[He clears his throat.] “Ah, so, do I uh… Must you catch me doing that again for us to…”
[raises eyebrow] “For us to…?”
“…“ [He double takes.] “I-I swore you said you wanted them today…”
[rubs the side of her head] "Shit… Did I? I can’t remember anymore.”
