[Hey, it's Nero!]

[There's an egg balanced on his head...?]

[He seems perfectly unconcerned. It's an Axew egg, for anyone who might care to note. It is, specifically, a gift egg, from someone he dearly wants to freak out a little, because of Reasons.]

[He flashes the Earth badge.]

I'm about done here, the Gym was a pain. Gonna head back to Saffron. [Pointing to the thing on top of his head, which wobbles precariously.] I'm thinking about scrambled egg for lunch. If anybody's got any recipes, I'm all ears.

[Click. (And no worries, the egg is perfectly safe, but if you'd like to assume otherwise, feel free!)]

[private text message to Kyrie:]
Do you have time?

Of course it's... [He trails off into a pause, then:] I miss you.

[Another pause.]

Guess it's pretty useless for me to apologize now, but I'm sorry I was an ass to you.

I've missed you as well. [ It's easier for her to admit the truth. ] I was the one behaving in that manner when all you wanted to do was protect me, protect us, so please don't feel bad.

[Well, he doesn't regret it, exactly, but his need to be by her side has come to trump his convictions.]

All right. I'll be there in a few days, so hold tight, okay? [There's a moment of silence, and when he speak again, it's clear he's smiling against the mouthpiece.] Get yourself a nice swimsuit.

[ At least they've proven they can be away from each other, even if it's only briefly. ]

I've waited long enough to see you. I think a few more days won't hurt that badly. [ Back to playful teasing. ] Although if I act as though I can't wait, I'm sure you'd find a way to close the distance.

[ She pauses to consider that last part intently. ]

Could you define 'nice'?

audio;

[ripped]

[It's been since...May? That's not all that brief.]

Hmm. [He makes a show out of thinking about it.] How about something white? Or pink--you like pink, right? Nice and casual. You deserve to show off once in a while.

[He won't press for a bikini, but damn if he can't fantasize.]

[havemercy]

[ Brief to Kyrie, for she intends to spend the rest of her life with him. ]

If I show off, I'm afraid you'll end up acting out. [ By decking every guy who gives her a bit of attention. ] I'll try to find something modest.

[Bawwww.]

Hey, I can behave myself. [Goddamn, he'd better ask Trish to keep an eye out...if Kyrie does her own shopping she'll wind up in a fucking wrist-to-ankle wetsuit.]

audio;

[havemercy]

Is that a promise? [ Hee. ] Because if you can restrain yourself just a bit, I might find something nice to wear.

[ Trish's help will be necessary. ]

audio;

[ripped]

Babe, I swear to you, I'll be on my best behavior. Cross my heart.

[Oh he's gonna get it. Even if he has to owe Trish.]

audio;

[havemercy]

I'll look extra hard just for you then.

[ So then two girls go shopping for a bathing suit... ]
