Poke. "It's like a chinchilla armadillo or something. A chillo."

Rolllllll. And some happy chirping this time! Again!

"Its a really really cute chillo."

"It is the cutest chillo I ever saw."

The chillo apparently wants to continue playing the walk-poke-roll game a few more times!

Fair enough, there's not much to do on this planet.

The chillo scampers off before sundown, when Lucien is unusually eager to retire to their lean-to. 

"You don't want to watch the sunset?"

"Um, yeah, I guess. If you're watching it."

"It's pretty and I didn't exactly bring a book."

They can watch! But Lucien is going to be distracted by glancing at Isabella's face which is prettier than the sunset according to him.

Eventually it's dark and then she is prepared to go back in the lean-to against the growing chill.

Lucien cuddles up! His heart is beating noticeably faster than normal.

Pet pet. "Good night."

"Mmm." Lucien wiggles a bit.

"...something on your mind?"

"Um."

"However tempting it is this would be a really awkward situation in which to embark on anything - uncertain. We will still be in a survival situation together even if it turns out that we don't - work."

"I um. can definitely make sure that anything that happens doesn't mess with our ability to survive together, that obviously comes first."

"...if you're sure."

Nod nod.

It's dark but they're cuddled up, she can tell he's nodding.

She rolls him onto his back and scoots on top of him and takes ahold of his hair and kisses him.

It is very difficult to squee in surprise and delight when you are being kissed like so, but Lucien gives it his best shot anyways.

"Good?"

Furious nodding!

"Yes!!!!" Why did that come out so high pitched.
