She drains the dregs of her coffee, before gently nudging Mike out of her lap and rising to her feet, so she can set her mug down next to Saul's. Then she sits down beside him, turned so she's facing him, her smile warm and expression a little expectant, waiting for his next move.]
Cue the wrinkle of his nose as Mike makes a small, protesting noise, and stalks off to situate herself on Remy's bed. It's a new favorite spot of hers; maybe she's mad at Saul for focusing so much of his attention on Steph lately.
Or maybe she's just being a cat.
Cats, man.

I really don't want anyone bringing a bunch of plastic bottles and containers up here unless there's some way to reuse it, and as of right now, I don't think there is.

[Because it is, and she knows it.
After a moment, he sets his mug down, then gestures for her.]
C'mere.
no subject
[Yes she does.

If she doesn't think too hard about the whole... poetry book thing, she can manages to keep the blush from coming back.]
no subject
But he has a solution: he won't pull away until the color has faded from his cheeks.
...this could take a while.]
no subject
Though she does laugh into the kiss when Mike jumps up into her lap, then crosses over to Saul's.]
Hey. [cat pls] That's my spot.
[steph pls]
no subject
But hey, since Mike apparently wants something to do with Saul again, he turns his attention to her for a moment, scritching behind her ears.]
Hey, little lady.
no subject
Did Ahiru have fun on the mission?
[Completely out of left field, but she really likes Ahiru, so she hopes she had a nice time.]
no subject
[He hopes so.
At least she doesn't seem to be mad at him anymore.]
We went all over the city. Maybe literally. It was nice.
no subject
[Most of them could, really, but Ahiru is young and sweet; she shouldn't have to deal with war.]
no subject
[Most? More like all.
Saul wriggles back a little, wishing this bed were big enough for the both of them. Not that he has objections to needing to be so close to her, but...]
I'd go back.
[Maybe that's a suggestion.]
no subject
[There's something a little playful in it, but her smile is warm.]
Any particular year?
[She wouldn't mind visiting Paris, even though she knows they'd both be ridiculous about it.]
no subject
[No thanks.]
I think they hosted the Olympics sometime in the twenties...
no subject
[That would not be fun at all, even if she might like to punch some aristocrats.]
That could be fun, and I'd look cute in those dresses.
[Which is clearly the important factor.]
no subject
[And he'd look... something in whatever they wore in Paris back then...]
Wanna go?
no subject
[Paris. On a date.
This is ridiculous.]
no subject
[A date...]
What could we bring back from 1920s Paris that'd be of use up here?
no subject
[She knows plenty of people are grabbing food, but they might be running low on water.]
no subject
[The water situation is tricky; he still hasn't thought of a decent solution.]

no subject
What about bigger containers, something we can keep up here for storage in the future?
[They're not going to stay up here forever, but they still want to be able to use it.]
no subject
[Perhaps he's not thinking about this the right way.
Shh.]
no subject
[Saul pls.]
For starters, how many people do we have here with powers that could help?
no subject
A few, maybe. This isn't everyone, but...
[Hum hum hum, scroll scroll scroll.]
no subject
The TK would work. Atlas can manipulate water, too.
[She's still not sure where Donny stands on the secret ID, so it's better to be safe than sorry.]
no subject
[Which is ideal, really.
But Saul doesn't want to abuse anyone's power like that.
gasp]
I can talk to her about helping out. I wonder if we could —
[This is going to sound so stupid.]
Uh. I'm picturing a very large iceberg kept just off-base, like a permanent source of fresh water. Since we're basically in a giant freezer...
