1. I miss you.

2. You have the best smile.

3. I have gossip.

[overbarreled]

I miss you terribly.

And I reserve the right to debate about best smiles until after you tell me your gossip.

[happyplague]

My youngest niece has informed me that she intends to marry you, I told her to get in line.

I saw Cdr. Hornblower dance with Lysi and it was adorable.

[overbarreled]

I'm telling you, Cor, she's going to be a danger to society when she's old enough to direct her own charm properly.

How and also where?

[happyplague]

I've known that since the day she was born.

That ball thing you couldn't come to. How as in how did it happen or what sort of dancing?

[overbarreled]

Should be constantly warning people, then.

Both?

[happyplague]

Her older sister actually kind of does, it's pretty funny.

She took his hand and talked him into it. Slow dancing, the cuddly kind.

[overbarreled]

Which in and of itself is sort of really charming.

And how long until she's divorced?

[happyplague]

My sister made lovely kids. Teddy is, predictably, also adorable.

I don't know, you'd have to ask her. But you're right that something 100 percent went down there, you should have seen them.

[overbarreled]

You might just be an adorable family. It's very possible.

I just want to officially be able to tease them! Wish I'd been there to see.

And to dance with you, obvi.

[happyplague]

I can't wait to introduce you to them.

I would've stepped on your toes. And probably accidentally kneed you in the groin or something too.

You think they'll actually manage to make a move on each other?

[overbarreled]

I can't wait either, Cor. ♥

Possibly. Still would've been a laugh.

I think she will. Or else she'll spell out for him that he can and should.

[happyplague]

They'll love you.

You'd take a knee to the groin for me? That's what I call committment.

He better not mess it up.

[overbarreled]

You're entirely biased, you know.

But one of many things, even.

She has the benefit of having known him. I think that ought to make her harder to spook by him being him.

[happyplague]

Because I am completely smitten with you? Don't see how that could affect anything.

You'll make me blush.

As long as he treats her right.

[overbarreled]

I adore you too.

Good. ♥

On a scale of one to actual concern, how likely do you think that is?

[happyplague]

You know the commander better than I do.

[overbarreled]

I mean, he was good to his wife.

And not to speak ill, but I think Lysi understands him better than she did. So that's points in favour of him not panicking himself into being a dick.

[happyplague]

She did get him out on a dance floor, I feel like that says something :P

[overbarreled]

And we'll keep an eye on him.

You get used to at some point understanding what his little sighs mean.

[happyplague]

I actually heard them have a whole conversation without him actually using words once.

[overbarreled]

She's definitely the premier Horatio-whisperer in the Commonwealth.

[happyplague]

I like hearing your voice, so I'm glad you're more into the words thing.

[overbarreled]

I miss hearing yours.

Miss your laugh even more.
