[Eddie's been veerrry careful around Stephanie since the failed birthday celebration. On Tuesday morning, Eddie's gone bright and early, but he's left her a green health juice in the fridge and a wildflower bouquet on the table with a note:]

Riddle me this: Should I visit Arkham to destroy my deactivated tech and check out new warden? y/n/vy?

	[Frown! Wagging her dirty finger at him.] You're not feeding that to Matilda. Matilda always gets good food. You have to suffer through yucky liver. [After washing her hands, she pops the chicken in the oven.] Mostly it's just a plot for you to finish making the meal instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He eyes her, steps close enough to get a quick kiss and then rounds the outside of the kitchen and takes a seat on a barstool at the counter.] If you make me cook, I'm not doing the dishes afterwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Shaking her head, hands on her hips.] Uh-uh, Nashton. What kind of domestic are you? You don't cook for me, or clean for me? I'm trading you in for another model. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 11:33 am UTC (link)
	[He squints.] Either I cook or I clean. I am not your manslave. Is that what you want? [Then, like it just hit him.] Is that what you've been trying to make me this whole time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 11:35 am UTC (link)
	[Leaning against the counter towards him. Elbows on the counter and chin resting in her hands.] You've caught me. [Dreamily. Looking up to the ceiling.] Oh, baby, you'd be such a sexy manslave. I could objectify you all I want. Put you in inappropriate clothes. Get out a whip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 11:39 am UTC (link)
	[He presses his palms flat on the counter.] I've told you plenty of times to objectify me, I've worn all kinds of weird outfits and- well no the whip is too far, Stephanie Brown. [Judging.] Don't be weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 11:41 am UTC (link)
	[Teasing.] Just because you can't wield a whip doesn't make me incapable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 11:44 am UTC (link)
	[Whispered.] Wait, is that actually something you're into or...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 11:46 am UTC (link)
	[She levels a look on him and shrugs. Completely and totally serious. Definitely not joking.] Might be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 11:48 am UTC (link)
	[He levels a look back. Faking shock and awe as if this was some kind of revelation. Trying really hard not to break character.] You mean we've been messing around with body markers and sexy chocolate this whole time and you never...[He slowly, dramatically leans back and looks up at the ceiling like his whole life has passed him by.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 11:50 am UTC (link)
	[The slightest twitch of her lip.] I told you I like to keep the mystery alive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 11:57 am UTC (link)
	[Dropping the act, he grins at her and then rests his chin on the palm of his hand. Looking at her with those big brown eyes. And, it almost feels like they weren't just shouting at each other less than an hour ago.] I thought that was my job. Mystery wrapped in an E-Nigma? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 12:03 pm UTC (link)
	[Her arms drop, and she rests her chin on her forearms, and looks at him with clear blue eyes. Innocently.] But you like riddles. Shouldn't I be a riddle, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 12:04 pm UTC (link)
	[A long look like that's never occurred to him. And, actually, it hasn't. Riddler mind: blown.] N-no. [Pfft.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	[Now, genuinely curious:] Should I be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 01:10 pm UTC (link)
	[He slowly leans forward. Also curious.] Well. [Eddie puts his elbows on the counter, steeps his fingers and presses his mouth against them.] If you were a riddle, what happens if I solve you? Or worse, what if you've already been solved? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	[Still leaning on her forearms and looking up at him, though one arm begins to sneak forward so she can touch his elbow. A thoughtful noise.] You're always solving bits of me, but isn't there always something else to find out? Same with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	[He narrows his eyes in thought. She's seen this stance a thousand times.] We keep changing so much. An always morphing riddle. [Looking up at her.] Would you be satisfied if at the end of our long, happy lives, you never really found out everything there is to know about me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Not that it's a bad thing. [She smiles then rumbles a thoughtful sound. Pointed look.] Would you be satisfied if you never figured out everything about me? [A pause.] Even if, let's be real, you probably have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	[Smile. Curiously. Gotham accent comes in especially thick.] You don't really believe that, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	[Mimicking his accent brings out her own, more modern one. Still, with a smile.] You're the genius in this outfit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	[Grin.] Alright. Do you think you got me figured out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	[A laugh.] Hell no. I've got 90 plus years to dig through, baby. You've barely got 19 if you don't count the time we've been together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie riddlethem 2014-03-26 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	[Pfft.] That stuff doesn't count. Want to know what happened to me for my first fifty years as Riddler? I riddled. I tried to steal some stuff. I got caught. [He wiggles his fingers at her.] Oooh the myssterry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: steph/eddie forthem 2014-03-26 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	[She smirks.] There's little things underneath all that. Like what places you frequent and what movies you liked and what you did for your 30th 30th birthday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
