[ dinner mingle! ]
[After a hard day's work, it's time for dinner. And there's food a cookin' in the shared kitchens of Squall Asylum. It might even smell better than you'd expect, because a bunch of rations put together makes a little more than a few cold potatoes alone. And face it, with Lacus around making wine out of water (or as close to it as possible, judging by the "feast") it's bound to be a good time.

So take forth your delicious food and eat as a group. After all, social interaction's awesome. We may not have beaches to luau on but the same people are hanging out and ought to stay closely knit despite the circumstances. Be a recluse if you want to, but you won't get far eating plain rice alone. Join in!

Dinner consists of an assortment of simple dishes prepared by Lacus creatively despite ration restrictions. Some of the dishes offered include a rice and beans dish, cabbage stew, fried rice with the veggies, and a very simple carrot bread.

And for you folks who go to the dark side, there will be a chicken dish as well though Rebecca will be giving it and partakers of it slightly irritated side glances for a multitude of reasons.]

(OOC: So if you didn't hear on day 221 ('yesterday'), Rebecca had been cheerfully suggesting a ration-share program to make a lot of something out of a little nothing. Whether you responded or not, feel free to hand wave if your character joined in by donating some of their rations to be made into meals likely at the hands of talented chef Lacus.

This mingle is solely about day 222 dinner, but also feel free to hand wave that breakfast and lunch were similarly made for those who participated. And if you didn't participate? Well, feel free to crash & eat your own food with the group or sneak a few bites. There might not be tons to go around, but it's doubtful anyone will turn you down.

Notifs are off but I'll be surfing the post & Becks'll have her own post down below.)

	Pressure cooker. [ Because that was a thing he needed to correct. ] It's fine. Don't worry about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Corrections are good.] No, I... [She shifts a little so she can look at him directly. Her hand comes out, touching his sleeve. She waits a moment, but whether he looks back at her or not she goes on.] I mean it. I want you to know I need you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 12:08 am UTC (link)
	I know. [ And maybe that's the problem. He's not sure if he's up to the task of being needed, but with Morgan gone... ] I know you do. [ He does look up. That weariness hasn't gone anywhere. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[If anything could make her wish she was a telepath instead of intangible, it's this guy.] This looks like a pretty good place for that dance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ Be careful what you wish for. It's a scary place in there. ] Now..? [ There's a moment of hesitation, a moment where he really wants to tell her no. Luckily it fades soon enough and he accepts with a short nod. Steps in closer. If he's right, this could be the only chance they get and he can't risk losing that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No time like the present. [She steps in the rest of the way, sliding her arms around his shoulder—slow dance style.] You never know how much left you have. [Unsurprisingly, she wants to spend it in action rather than thought and worry.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 01:22 pm UTC (link)
	[ The easiest of all the dances to fake without music. He slips his arms around her waist in turn, hugging her in closer than is perhaps advisable for slow dancing. ] No... no, you don't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It may not be the best for dancing, but it is still the best in general. She feels his body close. She's not sure how close he is though. It's an unsettling feeling, but there is still comfort in the way he holds her. It goes a long way to relaxing her for now. She lets her head rest on his shoulder, against his neck.]

Somehow even here you smell good. [It doesn't take much. Just being himself. Familiar.]

	[ That lures an amused noise out of him. Close to a chuckle, even. ] The wonders of soap. I guess that's one less thing to worry about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-14 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	If you were also worried you wouldn't feel good you can stop that too. [Because he—this—feels very good.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	Good. [ He moves his hands, one arm wrapping tighter around her waist while the other moves up to caress her shoulder. This isn't dancing but who's pretending? ] You feel good too. Very good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-14 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	[She holds him more securely. She was ready to sway at least, but right now just holding him feels so much more important.] It's not too soon for another I love you, is it? Because I love you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	Never too soon. [ He could use more of that, actually. ] I love you too. So much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-14 03:11 pm UTC (link)
	[She feels it a lot more than she says it. She smiles against him.] I'm happy. [Such a small phrase, but it means a lot to her. Maybe even more than she realizes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	[ From her shoulder and up into her hair. Hair that, due to dust and sweat and cheap soap feels less soft than he's used to, but also more real somehow. Better memorize this. ] Even here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-14 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Her eyes close, just liking the way his hand is roaming over her. One of hers slides down his back.] Even here. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like Marina better, but I've lived in worse than this. It's not the places that make me happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ He makes another light noise, soft and amused. ] I really don't know what I'd do without you. [ So if you think this is bad... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-14 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	I don't want you to find out. [Her fingers tighten on the loose material of his gray scrubs.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	Me neither. [ Grip tightening. ] We'll be okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-14 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	You know, it's really good to hear you say that. [She'd tighten hers but they are about as tight as they can get without doing each other injury.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ Bruised ribs are so worth it, let's be real here. ] I'm sorry if it seemed like I didn't believe it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-06-14 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I'm sorry if I overreacted. I get worried about you...us sometimes. [She's a lot of things—former wife, assassin, currently restricted mutant—but the one she sometimes forgets is still in there is the 19-year-old girl who doesn't want to lose everyone again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-14 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	[ He nods, for once choosing not to argue who has the most right to be worried here. ] It's hard... not worrying. We have a lot to lose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She doesn't want to argue that either. As far as she can see they both have a lot of right. They're together. They should worry about each other and their relationship. It just shouldn't be the only thing they do for it.] We do. That's a good thing. [She unclenches her hand from his shirt and instead lets it slip beneath the fabric to touch his back. She's not trying to start something really. She just wants to feel him.]

	[ This is why it's so good that she's half of this relationship. Someone needs to keep his head on straight. ] ...You're right. You're absolutely right. [ And with a soft sigh he lets go of everything but what's happening right now, at least for the moment. Her wandering hand is rewarded with a hum. It's good to feel her feel him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
