[ griffin's laugh is music to her ears. her own smile lights up her face as a result and she catches herself laughing along with him; relived and glad and just so gosh-darn-happy. ] ...
[ she ducks her head and laughs a bit harder, because it's more directed at his admission than anything. ] I'll be sure to keep that to myself. [ she winks, half joking. ] His ego is big enough. But... I think so too. And it's still possible. I'll just have to arrange a little game night. Me, you, him, and Shrike. I bet the four of us could all have a real good time. I just bought a Ping Pong table and a Billiard Table, so... game on, Griff.
[ this is, yeah, not an easy topic. ] No hard feelings. I... same, alright. Put you and your unit first. I won't ever hold what happens in those stupid games against anybody, because that's what they want. [ bastards. ] I know it can be hard though, but... we'll figure it out, just like you said, we're stronger than that, better than them, and we'll figure it out. [ she squeezes his hand for emphasis. ]
[ her heart flutters and, as a result, her cheeks darken in color... again. ]
[ a- and again. ]
[ now it's her turn to be flustered. ] ...hey. [ she sits up on her knees, turning to face him completely. keeping her one hand clasped around his she moves her other to his face, gently cupping his cheek. ] I'm not sure how it's possible, but today is one of the worst and best days ever. FYI, you're the best part. [ bonks foreheads with him and then, well, she's not sure she's ready to just surprise him with an actual kiss, s- so... eskimo kisses? those seems cute and safe and... cute. ] Boyfriend, it's got a good ring to it~
