He giggles, a bit. "I love you," he adds, again. "You're clever."

"I love you too."

Snuggle.

"Iiiii need tea or won't be function'l for hours," he mumbles apologetically, kissing her and then getting up to figure out how to put on pants. It's surprisingly difficult.

Annie helps. Mostly.

He snickers, thanks her for her help with a kiss, and goes to retrieve tea.

A few minutes later, he returns with tea and is looking much more lucid.

"Is that my shirt?" he asks, amused. Annie seems to be wearing it.
Permalink

"Well, I only have the one outfit here and it's not in the best shape. You have lots of shirts here."

Permalink
"Fair! It looks better on you, anyway."

He sits next to her, snuggling as much as is safe with hot tea in hand.

"I like the bait and trap idea," praises Aldaras.
Permalink

"Good. Hopefully the department will have an idea of what exactly to say the thing does and how to catch the thief if the bait works..."

Permalink

"Yeah. If not - I throw it at my sister, 'catching thieves' seems to be her style. At least the combative portions of it."

Permalink

"And she's conveniently already necklaced."

Permalink

"Mhm! Though. I think the mind reader would notice if every single person around the bait was necklaced."

Permalink

"I mean, there's a perfectly good reason for that - the artifact is appealing and has to be guarded by necklaced people. We just need to make it look like it isn't guarded very well - having a non-necklaced dupe loitering around too would be weird."

Permalink

"Fair. Okay. I'm just worried that if it doesn't seem like it's worth the risk to get to it, we'll lose the chance to grab them."

Permalink

"What we could do is have it announced that the artifact does thus and such a thing, and will be transferred to an undisclosed location, and then tell some un-necklaced people when and where it's being moved."

"I extra, special love you."
Permalink

"I love you too."

He grins and kisses her.

"I'll call the university after breakfast and a shower? Or should we actually visit, it might be smart to actually visit instead."
Permalink

"Yeah, let's go in person." Pause. "Want company in the shower?"

Permalink

"I would love company in the shower." Pause. "... On the caveat that I would also like to take care of the mindreader in a timely fashion. So just one round of sex before we go set a trap for them."

Permalink

"As you wish, my dear."

Permalink

"Later, we can have more," he promises.

Permalink

"I will hold you to that."

Permalink
"Good!"

Breakfast and a (rather delightfully long) shower are had, and then they're off to the university.

It turns out that the Dean has determined (while the necklace and its higher-priority investigation have been unavailable to him) that the chalice actually enables its touched to make controllable visual illusions within a one-foot radius of themselves. But they haven't disseminated this information. They agree to cooperate with setting the trap - they release the chalice's real side effect, and a lie about its primary effect saying that it enables telekinesis. It is announced that it will be stored somewhere besides the university, and it is leaked to a few un-necklaced people when it will be loaded onto a car and driven away.

Zevaia's found (after a bit of trouble, considering they didn't know which hotel she was in) and asked to help. She agrees. She's kind enough to not make much comment of Aldaras and Annie's - whatever they have. Permanent creepy love necklace voodoo relationship. But they're cute and happy together, so - she's letting it slide.
