"Did we get along?" he asks, tracing a finger idly along her back. "I'm not always known for my conversational skills."

[7twistedwishes]

"I let her do most of the talking, answering just enough to keep her interested."

"Oh, I almost lost it with Teja, I was itching to tease him..."

[mechanicalswans]

"...tease him how?" he asks, eyebrow raised. "I was friendly with him, as you. If he doesn't give himself a party when he moves to his beloved's world, we are going to have to give him one. I hope you don't mind."

"I like the unusual."

She grins. "I almost teased him like I would have done as myself..."

[mechanicalswans]

"...how would you tease him as yourself?" he asks, with a chuckle. "Talking about things that make him uncomfortable? It used to be much easier to do that than it is now."

"And would be suspicious, acting not-you." She kisses Weyland's chest. "A party sounds like a very good idea..."

[mechanicalswans]

"I used to push limits with him, now and then," he admits. "Just to see where he would draw the line. It's much harder to do, now; he is less sheltered, more open to ideas that may once have seemed unthinkable to him."

A pause, as he nuzzles the top of her head.

"Take care of him, if you would, my dearest. He is a descendant of my brother's people, and so a very distant kinsman of mine. I consider him to be under my protection, though he does not know that."
