[ blinks down at her. ]

Nathan-ee-ah want to cook a lot?

Um. Someday, yes. For you. [ pauses. shakes her head. ] I can wait, though. I'll make you something really special.

[ blinks a bit, then looks excited. ]

Special?! Food only Nathan-ee-ah can make?

[ also blinks. feels like she was misunderstood, backtracking a little: ]

N-No, I'm sure other people would be able to make it... but I'll try to make it really special regardless.

[ still looks confused until he feels like he has it: ]

Is special because Nathan-ee-ah make it!

Yes, that's it! [ cuddles up against him. ] You're so smart~

[ gives her hand a squeeze. ]

Because I got help!

[ nuzzles him in appreciation. after some more silence: ]

Thanks for watching the baby with me tonight. It was a lot of fun. You were really good with him!

[ bends down to give her head a kiss. ]

Danke! And danke for invite! It is fun for me too. Try again when bad man is gone, ja?

Yeah, we'll try again! Albert's a jerk, but I don't think he minds you being around Lyssa. [ after she feels that kiss on her head, she tilts her head up and points at her lips. ] Kiss here too! Bitte~?

[ stops walking for a moment so that he can oblige, brushing their lips together. pulls back after a while, but it's not a long wait before he bends again to give her another chaste peck.

starts tugs her along again afterward, looking pleased. ]

Is good?

[ flushes when they part, looking down at the ground shyly as she shuffles along beside him. but is obviously pleased as she nods and scoots closer to him again. ]

Is very good...

[ swings their hands back and forth lightly (or as much as their proximity would allow anyway), listening to nathania's heartbeat as they walk in silence. a few meters away from what he's fairly certain is the half-way point, he glances at nathania when a sudden thought hits him. ]

Family know Nathan-ee-ah is out of house?

[ huffs when she thinks about her previous encounter with albert, sticking her nose up in the air. ]

Who knows? They're probably too busy to notice that I'm gone, anyway.

Nein! Nathan-ee-ah is part of family, and family love Nathan-ee-ah! Will know! So call family at house, ja?

But I'm an adult now! They don't need to know...

[ looks as disapproving as ~~puppy~~ caleb can get: ]

So is okay to have them worry?

[ ... wisely looks away. ]

I've gone on missions for longer than just a night and didn't tell them! They didn't worry then, so they won't worry now.

[ seems uncomfortable with the answer, but lets it drop, as if feeling that he has no place poking his nose into this business. ]

. . . Okay. If Nathan-ee-ah is sure.

[ droops at his expression. tugs on him a little. ]

Oh, don't be like that! It's just how we are, okay? You'll have to get used to it...

[ nods. ]

Ja, I understand. Is family of Nathan-ee-ah, so Nathan-ee-ah know best. I learn!

[ beams up at him. ]

And I'll learn more about Hilda!

[ swings their hands back & forth again, yapping out a single sentiment: ]

Ja!

[ can't help but skip a little bit, swinging their hands as well. ]

Maybe we can go back and see her. You know, instead of her coming all the way over here. You don't have to ask permission anymore, after all!

When SAVE is not busy, ja! Will ask Hilda!
