[NEXUS] HALO 163: Three fries short of a Happy Meal

[FireFox]

Matt leans back in his chair and stares at Ari while he drinks his coffee. ... "exactly"? Then what OH GODDESS ARE YOU PREGNANT?

[Moofin Bard]

Ari is so shocked that he came to this conclusion that she falls over. She quickly picks herself up and laughs. No! Oh wow, gods no. I was just considering things...

(Although Moofin could be evil and tragic...)

[FireFox]

Matt relaxes. Oh... Good. Okay, so what are you considering?

[Moofin Bard]

Ari is far from relaxed. I know you said you wanted to but do you really? Want to be together again?

[FireFox]

Well, yeah. Of course. I know there are all sorts of problems to overcome, but I certainly want to try. Matt looks at her quizzically.

[Moofin Bard]

She bites her lip. It looks as if she's still hesitant to say what she's about to say. Well then I want that too.

[FireFox]

Matt looks incredibly relieved, but he doesn't want Ari to know how worried he was so he just grins. Well, yeah, duh. I'm that awesome.

[Moofin Bard]

Ari scowls at him teasingly and playfully hits him on the arm, maybe a little harder than she really meant to. Arrogant as usual.

[FireFox]

The angel laughs when he's hit, then tries to grab Ari's hand so he can kiss it. Whereas you are more beautiful than before.

[Moofin Bard]

Ari's heart beats faster and her face flushes. It seems that in nearly the year she's been away, she's almost forgotten how things worked in relationships. You're too sweet.

[FireFox]

Matt smiles, then suddenly frowns as something occurs to him. We should probably tell Patty. Even though she's got that... God she sleeps with now, she'll want to know.

[Moofin Bard]

Ari suddenly feels a little bit jealous but pushes that away. I asked her about it already. She said it wont bother her.

[FireFox]

Oh, great. Matt actually hasn't let Ari's hand go. Is that the only problem we have?

[Moofin Bard]

Ari subconsciously rubs his hand with her thumb. I can't think of anything on my end except, you know, the PTSD.

[FireFox]

But we can get through that together. Matt grins and gives her hand a light squeeze.

[Moofin Bard]

Ari gives Matt a beaming, genuine smile. This is probably the happiest he's seen her since she's been back. Well then that's settled. I guess we're back together then.

[FireFox]

I love you, Arielle.Matt leans in... and tries to kiss her cheek.

[Moofin Bard]

Ari lets him but is wondering why he's not trying to do any more than that. She doesn't worry too much about it though. She thinks he's just trying to be considerate and all that. I love you too.

[The Bushranger]

Erin nods to Vallasito. She's still in that skimpy white bikini.

Patty is still practicing at the shooting range. Rather feroiciously.

Dani's in the Infirmary with Pesty.

BR is...somewhere?

[Moofin Bard]

Jezzie's also in the infirmary on bed rest because she didn't eat or sleep for three straight days. She's still reading a large dusty book though.

[FireFox]

Should we tell my parents? You know how my dad complains and grumps about everything. Matt smirks at her.

[Moofin Bard]

Ari grins. Absolutely I'm sure your family would love to hear this good news. I'll tell Kyne tomorrow while we're out shopping.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

Dani looks at Jezzie. Waves.

[FireFox]

Wait... Uh, wait... What? Matt looks horribly confused. You and Kyne... are going shopping?

[Moofin Bard]

Jezzie takes two seconds to wave back and goes back to reading. She keeps looking around shiftily. She looks suspicious like she's not supposed to be reading.

--------------

Ari laughs. Apparently Ori wants her to do more girly things and I have to get new clothes anyway. You know...ones that aren't for...when I was away.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

This is, of course, too much of a temptation for the little redhead to ignore -
pop!
- and so she vanishes!

pop!
Reappearing a moment later behind Jezzie to try and find out what she's reading!

[FireFox]

The angel just blinks. I... I can't imagine Kyne in normal girl clothes.

[Moofin Bard]

Ari shrugs. She probably wont buy anything.

---------------

Jezzie is reading a giant book of laws and additions to laws and defenses one could use for each law and examples of all of those things. It's a big book.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

Dani giggles!
"Hey! Whats up?"

[FireFox]

Still... Well, this should be good for her. Just make sure she doesn't flip out and kill someone. Matt stands up and moves behind the druidess, starting to massage her shoulders. Thanks for doing that with her.
