[implying]

[ There's a joke he's learned recently. Well, sort of — a wisecrack, perhaps, but that suits him well enough. He smiles, calling back: ]

Room service!

[ The accent is rather unique on the moonbase though, all things considered. ]

[payback]

[The voice is pretty familiar too! She squinches up her face at the door, and then smiles, unable to help it.]

Vanadi, come in! [And she'll get up so she's at the door when he opens it, as a bonus.]

[implying]

[ Open it he does, and as soon as Rin is in sight, he moves to sweep her into a hug. One arm wraps around her middle, one around her neck and shoulders, and he turns his head to press a few kisses into her hair and onto her cheek.

He's missed her, it seems safe to say. ]

[payback]

[She's taken aback, for a moment. Then she hugs him back and starts to laugh. Rin loves hugs and physical affection, and this is really nice.]

Hello. You're in a good mood!

[implying]

Why, can you blame me?

[ Just a few more kisses, then he pulls back (reluctantly) just enough to address her properly. His arms stay firmly about her, though. ]

I've a beautiful roommate to welcome me back! What could I have to be sad about in the face of that?

[payback]

Yeah, well, speaking of that, where have you been, Vanadi? [She raises a finger in his face and then abruptly looks concerned.] Did you go home again?

[implying]

I certainly did. [ But this smile of his doesn't make that sound like a particularly bad thing. He even looks pleased about it. ]

[payback]

[... CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER. 8|a]

What happened?

[implying]

[ His smile just grows. ]

Things started looking up a bit.

[ Understatement. But with that said, he moves in again, and this time that diving kiss is aimed for her lips. ]

[payback]

But how - mmp! [He catches her briefly, and then she tilts her head away, instantly transformed into Rin: sulk edition.] Vanadi!

[implying]

[ He only laughs, like a kid having pulled a successful prank, and finally releases her to step back. ]

Well, that's rather a poor showing for a returning dear friend!

[payback]

Bleahhh! [Sticking out her tongue!] Warn a girl!

[implying]

Well then! [ He leans in again and smiles brightly, resting a hand light at each of her hips. ] I'm about to kiss you again.

[ And unless she moves away or shoves him off, in he goes for it again. ]

[payback]

[She leans in!

To try and bite him on the nose.]

[implying]

[ omfg rude. And yet, amusing. He laughs to be thwarted, but since this doesn't leave a great deal of distance between their lips, he twists his head a little further up a second later to try for a proper kiss again.

It's totally a goal worth having his nose bitten off for. ]

[payback]

[Well, she doesn't want to bite his nose ALL the way off. She tilts her head sideways when she feels him move. He can have the cheek.]

Vanadi.

[implying]

[ Oh, fine, he'll take a kiss to the cheek. And he's grinning when he leans back again. ]

Yes?

[ Not one hint of guilt. ]

[payback]

[She reaches out. One hand on his left cheek. One hand on his right cheek. Squish.]

What's got you in such a good mood?

[implying]

[ He arches both brows, and hopes he doesn't look unduly like a fish. But there are worse fates than having Rin squish his face, so he submits. ]

Why, I've come back to rejoin with a few good friends of mine. [ He smiles, and only then does he shrug away her hands, to lean in conspiratorily. ]

And, I was just about to kill her.

[payback]

You were? [Oh, NOW she's excited. Rin leans in!] How did that happen?

[implying]

A few rescues, a couple of friends with handy skills...

[ He hasn't taken back his hands from her hips yet, and uses them to dance-swing them toward one of the beds, to sit at the edge. ]

A bit disappointing to be taken away just then, but it's nice to have something to look forward to!

[payback]

[She swoops in to hug him! It's a pretty snug hug, Vanadi should brace himself.]

Oh, that's so great. Vanadi, I'm so happy for you.
