"More often than you'd think," Alec said with a sly smile, eyes watching Navi. One of the perks about being a transgenic, you tended to recover faster than normal people, and he meant that in every sense. Not that he wasn't specifically tired at the moment, but he'd be okay after he ate. Then again, it wouldn't bother him at all to just hold Navi, which was a weird feeling that he rarely ever got. Guess it just had to be with someone special, and luckily he'd found that.
He had propped the pillow up so it was even more comfortable to sit up in bed and had remained in that position while he waited for her. He was all smiles when she showed up again and let out a small laugh. "Good, cause I didn't want to have to hurt anyone for touching you. Not that I wouldn't fight for your honor," he said with a wink, which was pretty much the truth, but he did enjoy teasing her.
He had been about to reach for the chopsticks, because stabbing stuff really was his best option, when he heard one of them break. From her reaction, he knew she'd been stabbed by a splinter, and somehow she made it look cute when she was sucking on her thumb. "Here," he told her in a gentle voice, reaching out for her hand. He inspected her thumb closely before he was able to pull the splinter out, placing a soft kiss where it had been. "Gotta be careful about that."
