What kind of dates do Io and Collin go on?? I want the deets 💥💥💥
The sorts of dates we go on heaaavily depends on... the kids... Like, well, duh, but! We don't like being away from them too much. When we're away for too long, we tend to... dwell on them, and how... we're without them... oh... so, we talk about them... perhaps thinking fondly of their snarky remarks or of something they did that was absolutely ridiculous... Ohhh! It's so easy for me to fall into bringing gifts home to, to compensate, it feels so cruel enjoying things without them! Collin is the voice of reason, but I think... it's a facade... he seems to give in so easily! Ack!
So! Our dates often involve the whole family! Collin enjoys bringing us out for picnics and strolls alongside the prettiest beaches. He was particularly excited about these activities upon our return from PNF-404, as I recall him mentioning it a few times in passing during our expeditions.
When we'd like a little more... privacy... oh, we escape to a romantic dinner and taaalllk, and talk, and talk. By talk, I mean we fliiirrrtt, and flirt, and flirt... saying everything we would liiike to say everyday, hehe, well, of course when there are no small, precious ears around! That and, for such a fancy occasion, we try for a special little drink or two.
After thaaat, we impulsively explore the closest staaar systems, galaxieees, you name it, visiting whatever our IGPS picks up as "fascinating"; for example, this odd planet with... an assortment of bewildering drinks. The bottle was pretty! It had a flexible, leathery feel, but glimmered like the stars. I absolutely HAD to taste it! Collin seemed indifferent... or, repulsed... he was trying to be polite, I think.
We're able to go on these little getaways thanks to Collin's parents, aha! Though, our little Orchid gets too antsy when we're away for too long...
