"I'm too canny and mean." Fierce expression. "You'll have to up your distraction game if you want a shot at winning!"

"I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I can't share them, though, that would make things too easy."

"Oh that's just mean." She wrinkles her nose at him. "Well you know what? So do I!"

...maybe? She has a while to think of some. Hoo boy.

She hooks her fingers in his and makes a contented little hum, though.

He curls his fingers around hers and pets at her hand. "I hate to say this..." It's gotten late and he needs to sleep. But...maybe in a few more minutes. "You're going to lose me in five minutes. I don't want to be too sleepy to drive home."

"I'm surprised you lasted this long. You were working all day. And reveille is early." The hand petting is definitely nice. "I guess I can handle losing you as long as it's just temporary."

"We'll see when I can stop back in. It can't be daily after this, unfortunately, I just won't have the time. We can always message though. Even during the day. I try to check my glasses at lunch and things."

She'd been worried that would be the case, but... well. The mission was the most important thing. "It's okay," she says. "The mission always comes first. I'm... grateful for whatever time you can spare."

She could admit to herself that she'd been really greedy so far. Poor North. He'd probably been putting off a lot of stuff that was more important.

"Okay. I'll send you messages. As long as you're sure it won't be distracting."

"There might be delays between responses but there will be responses, so don't get anxious, okay?"

She smiles. "I won't. You don't have to worry about me." She moves her forefinger against one of his. "Thank you for letting me."

It lets her feel closer to him, weirdly, like she gets to follow him to work. And it lets her feel a little bit like she'll be back on base, too.

"You don't have to think of it as me 'letting' you. I'll be doing it because I want to. I'll..." Is it too soon to talk about how he'll be missing her? It probably is. He has to come up with something else to say besides that, and quick. "...be looking forward to it," he finishes lamely.

Because he wants to. That... feels really good to hear. The smile she offers him for that is warm and probably a bit too unguarded but... that's just how she is. She's terrible at trying to hide things anyway. "Me too," she says. Agreeing with the spoken and the unspoken she senses just a little.

Wrath captures his fingers for a moment. "Go home and sleep, silly."

He smiles gently. "Yeah, I'd better. You sleep too." He slowly lets his hand slip out of hers and lowers it to the railing of her bed.

Because she has no filter and talks even more than she otherwise would, she says, "I like all your smiles, but that one's my favorite. At least today."

Moving on, whoops. "I will, soon. Will you... just send me a message so I know you got home all right?"

Maybe she shouldn't be worried, but... things can happen.

Whoops, sorry Wrath, you made his smile grow. "Thanks. And I will, but your glasses are on the table. You want me to put them back on you?"

That's okay, North. It's still a great smile. "Yeah, please. That way I can watch for you."

He nods and reaches over to grab them, unfolding them and placing them carefully on her face, making sure they're settled on her nose and the arms are hooked securely over her ears. "Good?"

"Perfect!" She even gives him a thumbs up, as close as she can get to it.

That causes him to chuckle and he gives her hand a little pat. "All right, here I go. You sleep well tonight."

"You too, North. Be safe."
