[ she didn't realize how tense his lack of reply to her text had left her until he kisses her and all that tension evaporates. With a contented sigh into his mouth, she kisses him back, slow and relaxed. ]

[Since the realization that this wasn't going to be a nuclear dressing down of his behavior in a dream, he's more relaxed as well. He leans his forehead against hers and hums in thought before breaking the kiss and speaking.]

So they got good ramen places out there in the spooksville desert?

You know, I'm not actually sure. I wouldn't call myself a ramen expert to start with, and when I don't make dinner, I usually get it on this coast. But I'll check reviews.

Well, sounds like a solid idea for a date night, then.

Mm, I was thinking dinner, we'll stream a vid, maybe [definitely] more favors if you're feeling lucky.

That's about the most perfect night you can ask for that doesn't include shootin' anything. Which vid you have in mind?

Oh, okay, so I don't have to take my Hunter out to the woods for an almost perfect night.

[ she's joking - she'd enjoyed the camping trip for how much less her technopathy drew on her attention with barely any networks around. ]

I figured we could scroll through the action section. Watch some shooting since we're not doing it ourselves.

Or to space. Man, I am such a cheap date.

[He claps excitedly, thinking of the possibilities of having all of Old Earth's archives at their fingertips. The Cryptarchs would pay out their nose for those files, and he gets to scroll through them for date night.]

I vote for cowboys! Or aliens. Or aliens and cowboys.

What about alien cowboys?

[He thinks about that for a fraction of a second, image of a Fallen vandal in a Stetson surfacing in his mind, and shakes his head.]

No. That just feels wrong.

[It comes out a bit more emphatically than even he expects. The idea of friendly aliens is a hoot but some things are theirs.]

[ Ashley, for her part, is picturing Liara and Garrus in cowboy hats, but she grins at his reply. ]

Alright, no alien cowboy vids.

[He presses a kiss to her forehead.]

Sounds like we got ourselves a date.

Mmhm. I'll let you get back to work, and, uh... thanks.

[ she twirls his note in her fingers. ]

For being honest.

"Work." Like I'm gonna get any of that done now.

[He shrugs.]

Don't go spreadin' it around, people might start thinkin' I'm reputable. But, ah, ... you're welcome.

Like I was productive with you texting me? Keep him on task, Sundance.

[ with a kiss on his cheek, she slips out from between him and the wall. ]

See you tonight.

[the clear noise of the porter hub is in the background of archie's call-- he's literally just ported back in.]

I--I'm back. Sorry, Ash. I'm so sorry, y'know I didn't do that on purpose. I... [he exhales.] I saw we lost Kanaya as well. Does Jacob know?

Well. At least you weren't permanent.

[She sounds a little annoyed - she is, but trying very hard not to be, because she knows no one intentionally Ports out.]

Not yet - you can do the honors if you want.

[he picks it up, but he can't blame her.]

Naw, ain't gonna skip out on work that much. I'll let him know. I didn't-- I didn't miss anything else, did I? Are you alright??

No, thank God. Just more of the same with cryptid sightings and all. No Pisces started any cults that I've seen.

I got Ported out and I didn't even get to visit home 😡

jfc, Ash!! I thought everyone got to see home but no, I just missed a whole ten days for nothing

[ s'up, bff. ]

[At first, Ashley's laughing too much to send more than:] Welcome back.

[Okay, no, compose yourself, Williams. A few minutes later, she follows up.]

Maybe you just didn't have anything awful to go back to?

That's debatable...

it is way more likely that I'm cursed.

...Ash?

[a wild Lucina peeks her head into the briefing room.]

Are you here?

[With Jacob tied up by government meetings and trips to Washington, Ashley's picked up some of his workstreams, and as such is examining some of the mission reports in the briefing room when Lucina pops by. She looks up at her, and is in fact somewhat surprised that Lucina's here - kid's been up to a lot lately.]

Yeah, you found me. What's up?

Oh, good. [she smiles weakly before disappearing, only to fully reappear a moment later, walking inside with a box in-hand.] Forgive me, I know I'm not to be working today. But I thought it would be nice to bring these for everyone...

[once she's gotten over to the desk, she opens said box up to display the donuts inside.]
