It really could. Adana won't mind one bit if it does.



But eventually, she does remember she has work to do. Kiss. "I should get back to trying to persuade Mars to let you terraform it," she sighs, sadly.

"Okay," he says, sneaking a last kiss pressed to the center of her forehead and unplastering his wings. "A worthy task. I think I'll catch a nap and then I can work on that all night if Mars is suddenly cooperative."

Permalink

"Mhm," she says, affectionately. "They probably won't spontaneously stop kicking and screaming as I try to drag them to accept, but it could happen. Have a nice nap, Cam."

Permalink

He kisses her again and then goes off to where he's been catching his sleep. "Will do."

Permalink

Adana smiles at him, then heads back to her computer to pick up the very neglected conversation with colonies of Mars.

Permalink

Cam naps, and gets up a few hours later to see what's up with Adana.

Permalink

"Hey," she says, brightly. "Mars is still being uncooperative. It's almost like they don't even want you to terraform it. Idiots."

Permalink

"What do they think I'm going to do, sabotage it somehow? Don't you have a license proving you can control me?"

Permalink

"Some colonies are worried about that part, others are arguing about what conditions would be best for Mars to have and won't agree to it until they have decided. Understandable, but still a bit annoying."

Permalink

"I could put atmo without much consensus, surely? Just blanket the place in air."

Permalink

"They're basically not letting us near Mars until everything is all nice and neat and decided beforehand. Because they think I need to give you a specific task." She sounds smug when she adds, "When you are just awesome and don't need it."

Permalink
"Aha."

Kiss?
Permalink
Kiss!

"Also, I told my dad and Zane that they should summon a fairy. I'll explain why in person, I don't like telling sensitive information over the comm, other people could hear it and I am keeping this a secret until it seems appropriate to stop."
Permalink

"You are smart."

Permalink

She giggles. "I try! You are, too, I like that about you."

Permalink

"Good. I should be valued for my intellect and not just my prettiness and my ability to make arbitrary material objects."

Permalink

Adana laughs a little, then touches his cheek. "You weren't worried about me wanting to date you for your ability to make arbitrary material objects, were you?"

Permalink

"No. That does not mean I will not cheerfully listen to a complete list of why you do want to date me, though."

Permalink
"Mhmm. You want to hear them for purely intellectual reasons, I'm sure."

She is teasing.
Permalink

"I'll... do science to it?"

Permalink
Adana giggles. "Well if it's in the name of science..."

She scoots and moves to embrace him. "You're smart, funny, and you seem to want the same things I want with lovely new ideas to get there. You were put in the situation where you could do - basically anything you wanted, and you decide to hug and comfort me, and I'm not immune to that sort of thing. It was incredibly kind of you."
Permalink
"You're very huggable. Do not underestimate your allure."

See? He is hugging her.
Permalink
"So you're saying it's my fault," snorts Adana. "Because I am huggable."

He is indeed hugging her. She is hugging him back! She considers him very huggable, too.
Permalink

"All your fault. Probably I was terrible before I met you. Collecting souls and whatnot."

Permalink

"Mhm." She sounds very unconvinced. "Well, in that case, how do you know that I wasn't terrible before meeting you, too? You are also quite huggable."
