we have OPTIONS now? Gracious, the smugglers really are taking care of us lately, aren't they?

Chocolate??

[catarmy]

Smuggler Captain takes pudding very seriously!

I can get you chocolate! Please wait patiently. I will inform you if the mission fails and a substitution must be made. I don't expect failure to occur, however.

[Time to do what they do best: look cute, abscond with, and sneakily transport pudding!]

[daphnis]

I have total and compete confidence in you!

I must have been very tired to forget that it was "ice cream" in the toplevel. x-x;;

[catarmy]

:D

[The nice thing about being a dhampir with a penchant for magic? Shadow scouts. It makes pilfering some chocolate ice cream is an easy affair, and then just another matter of using the shadows to hide it from view while they carry it to Keeler.

[As it is, they show up with a bright, playful smile, dangling the loot from their fingertips once they're before him. A spoon is also in tow. But they hand it over without him having to bug them for it.

[Is it a healthy option? No, but one must be aware of the line between being mindful of one's health, and paying attention to one's happiness.]

Mission accomplished!

as if keeler is picky about pudding vs ice cream

[daphnis]

Have I ever told you what an absolute angel you are?

[Keeler has, he's sure of it. He's never been quiet about praise or gratitude, and few things put him in a better mood than sweets. Should he have chocolate ice cream while he's hooked up to all these various beeping implements? Probably not. But YOLO.

Keeler scoots his legs to one side of the cot, and pats the bed beside him for Raine to sit. He's already halfway through peeling open the container when he takes the spoon as well.]

I hope you brought another spoon to share. If I eat this all myself, the nurse will yell.

maybe but I was embarrassed for whatever happened in my brain to get the detail tweaked.

[catarmy]

Oh, maybe a few times. Here and there~

[Raine giggles almost demurely, and accepts the seat made available to them, leaning back on a hand. They blink at the statement, and then laugh, shaking their head. All they'd thought about was getting him the treat. Why would they get their own spoon?]

No, but I don't mind using your spoon after you've had some. Now that you've offered me some, there's no doubt I'll insist.

[Although Raine's also a semi-frequent visitor of medbay, themself, if only because their stamina is taking awhile to recover, since, well, events before they joined up here. But for small things like this, moving around at a slow-ish pace isn't a problem.]

So I absolutely won't let you eat the whole thing. Ahhh, it smells so good....

[daphnis]

Let's hope it tastes as good as it smells.

[It does. The first bite is just confirmation, but Keeler sighs and lets the spoon rest in his mouth for a few moments, savoring whatever lingers for a few moments after it melts and he swallows it down.]

Thank you. Really. They're absolute dictators here.

[Keeler scoops out another spoonful and holds it out for Raine.]

[catarmy]

[Ohh, so soon? But Raine isn't about to snub the offer to share so equally, and so they allow Keeler to feed them the spoonful, groaning in contentment. Chocolate is absolutely not good for their stomach, but fuck it. It's dilute enough, and small enough, that it shouldn't have any effects, and certainly, if any, they won't last long.]

They are. They should let you live a little.

[They sink a bit against the bed, the comfortable position making them have to resist the urge to yawn, or even try to nap. Unconsciously, they lean against him a bit, shoulders touching.]

Mmm, you're comfy....
