Devil's Nest | Sunday Evening

[long_memory]

Silver had a nice semi-vacation out in space, although some might argue he didn't do much in the first place therefore didn't need a break from anything. Whatever, he had fun even if his hair was still recovering from the humidity of Ajan Kloss.

There wasn't all that much to do at work today, which wasn't surprising, but he busied himself with going through their olive supply and tossing any bottles that were expired. Last thing he needed was someone getting food poisoning from a martini.

"Or," she said, "whatever turns out to be irritating is something very minor I can just deal with."

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"Well that's the best case scenario," Silver said. "But I'd rather not risk it."

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"I suppose we won't know until we get there," she told him. "In the meantime you could find something irritating about me."

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"I'm not going to try to find something," he said. "I want to be surprised by your flaws."

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"I should say that I'm not looking for flaws, it's just that none have come up so far," Rey clarified. They hadn't even had an argument that wasn't because Fandom did something weird to them.

"Do you think that's odd?" he asked.

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"I don't know. We've known each other for almost a year," she shrugged. "I've never spent that much time with anyone before, but I usually get annoyed with people much sooner."

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

He laughed again. "I am honored to not have annoyed you yet. I'm going to try to keep the streak going."

"It helps that I'm biased," she teased.

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"That is a win for me. Helps take the pressure off some," he agreed, smiling.

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"And I definitely wouldn't want you to feel pressured," she said, taking his hand.

They really were at the sappy phase.

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"It's a good kind of pressure," he assured her. "Keeps me on my toes."

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

"You're not wanting to get complacent?" she asked.

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

[long_memory]

"Nobody wants to be complacent," he said lightly, squeezing her hand. "At least I don't want to in this area. I'd hate to get lazy with my affection."

Re: Have a Drink/Talk to Silver

If she was being honest with herself, that was probably where her thing about expecting flaws came from. Not wanting to idealize it.

"I would definitely tell you if that was happening," she assured him. "I've gotten spoiled."
