Well yeah, you don't, and I can't see you being the type of guy who would. But you also know I wouldn't do something if I think it's going to hurt you in some way.

So.

Yeah, I'll keep it to myself if that's what you really want.

...

...

Even if it turns out good?

If the fight or whatever ends with you and I furiously making out as the world collapses around us, then sure, let me know.

[ TRYING TO TELL JOKES... TRYING TO MOVE ON... ]

[Well. It works on Yang, anyway, she's snickering.]

All right, will do.

[She pauses for a moment, then switches the feed to video. Even if he's not up for it, he should at least be able to see her face so he knows she means what she says.]

Look, I'm...I can't help being optimistic about this. I really do think it'll turn out okay. And if it doesn't...

[She glances away for a moment as her smile turns wry, and then she shrugs as her gaze moves back to the communicator.]

I get to wake up to you. Can't be too upset, all things considered.

[ A pause, before the video clicks on - there's a smirk there. A tired one, perhaps, but a smirk all the same. ]

Just as long as you don't end up vanishing for... what was it? Two years?

Two or three, who's counting.

[Her smile gets a little stronger after seeing his. It's much better than that audible frown thing.]

I wouldn't bet on that happening any time soon, though.

[Now that she knows she can go without doubts and regrets, she stands to her feet and slips an envelope into her inner jacket pocket.]

You wanna see me off, or just call it a night?

--what, you're going now?

[ His arms fold over his chest, raising an eyebrow. ]

Here I thought maybe I'd get to preemptively make up for the time you're going to be MIA for.

Well, that was the plan. I avoided buying milk and bread at the store today and everything.

[She watches that eyebrow go up. And she hears what he's saying. There's a 50% chance he's going to say something terrible, and a 50% chance it could be amazingly romantic. Kind of a win either way, in her opinion, but it's the mystery that tugs at her interest.]

I'm listening.

[ He hasn't planned this at all, obviously, so it's purely off the cuff-- ]

Pizza and chill from now to... let's say, Saturday?

[ ... romantic... ]

...You do know that's a good way to wind up strangled, courtesy of your roommate, right?

[ He's ABOUT to say she has no grounds to critique HIS romantic life given the state of hers, but...

stops himself. ]

It doesn't have to only be at my place, geeze.

[She grins, shaking her head.]

The sooner I do this, the sooner I'll be back. Wouldn't want to risk missing Valentine's Day.

But I'll probably be starved for pizza when I get back.

...And...starved for other things too.

[Wink! Because it's not super obvious what she could possibly be talking about.]

Popcorn, right?

[ He's just going to pretend he's not disappointed. Thankfully, he's used to not wearing his heart on his sleeve, so it comes pretty naturally. ]

...Popcorn.

Riiiiiiiight.

[She picks up her keys from the dresser. While she won't be driving the uber-cycle down to the Docks, she does still need to get back inside her apartment later.]

...

[She peers at his face for a moment. He's still a tough read, but...]

...Or, I guess I could go in the morning. Stay up all night cashing in that IOU you gave me for Christmas?
