“Mm, since you asked so sweetly..”

Lucy smiled, blushing as she leaned down awkwardly-- and ultimately had to urge Eilidh up to meet her. She kissed her softly, smiling and breathing a laughing sigh as she lingered there.

     “ You--! “ 

God, Dark, please. Just because the Colonel has a tendency to regularly go on death-defying adventures doesn’t mean his heart isn’t weak to surprises, even for as mild as they may be. He certainly wasn’t sure how such a small gesture managed to startle him that time, but that didn’t change the fact.

Not that he’ll acknowledge it. Don’t think he’ll be that easy to sway.

     “ My good man, “ he argues gently, moving to grab Dark by the arm, “ you can’t get rid of me so easily. If I can’t go outside in this horrible weather, then neither can you. “ 

What a storm it was. For as much as William loves to sit out on the porch and watch a storm raging on, this was even too much for him. It was best that they stay put for a moment.

A good, shy bot. Wilford can't help but chuckle to himself, arms slipping comfortably around Blue's neck. Now, granted, they may not see one another nearly enough, but to see that the man was still hesitant and questioning around him? One could say that was a little insulting, but Wilford was just going to say it was darn cute. He appreciated his awkward little bot.

Each sweet kiss, more so than the last, seemed to awaken a similar desire in Wilford's chest. Even with such a simple gesture, his heart felt so... full, though simultaneously aching for more affection after so damn long. What was it that kept them from making this a habit?

     “ I won’t lie, though... there were some things in that whole endeavor that I wasn’t feeling so bad about. “ 

     “ He never did answer me when I asked if we’d dated. Or... perhaps he did and I just missed it. I’ve been through a lot tonight. “ 

     “ You asked him what? “ 

     “ I didn’t-- I had no idea where you were, I was so... How-- how did it go? Are you feeling alright? What happened to you? Was that--? “ 

Oh, shh, Wilford, shh. William presses a finger to his brother’s mouth to silence him. Please be quiet, he’s dealt with so much talking tonight.

     “ I’m fine, old man, I’m fine. I’ve had worse scuffles in my day and you know it. “ He’ll go ahead and give Wilford a reassuring pat on the cheek before stuffing that hand in his pocket.

     “ The important thing is, as always, I handled it. It’s all sound in the old stomping ground, as they say. “ For... now, anyway. But he doesn’t want to think too far into the future on this one.

     “ And. “ Give him a moment, he’s finally going to finish off that bloody martini of his. “ I think I made an old friend. “ And a few taser-burn marks, but that was beside the point.
