Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sherry laughed and leaned back in to kiss his cheek, then she stood and started to gather her own bits of food. “Well, I suppose they have some nutritional value in them. They taste bad enough they better. I can’t believe you LIKE them.” She paused to drain her water glass. “We are not eating MRE’s on our date.” She trusted him to be that dense about dates, but it seemed appropriate.

She smiled the whole time they tidied up their space, threw things away, and walked towards the door of the cafeteria. Behind that smile, though, Sherry’s mind was working. “You know, you don’t have to use your reverse pendant on me, when you get it. I have one we can use.” Whether or not he’d get one was not a question. She knew they’d be taking titans down. “You don’t have to do the date thing if you don’t want to, either.” She remembered when he’d said he’d never really done such things. “I would understand.”

They would have to discuss food options at some point. (Though she did greatly approve of the curly fries from Jack-in-the-Box.)

“Mmhm,” Sherry nodded. “I haven’t done anything with it….” Power wasn’t at the top of her priority list, especially since things have slowly been being restored, and well, she was spending a lot of time in Jake’s room. Which was why she raised an eyebrow at his questions.

“Tired of spending time with you?” She repeated his question as they exited. “Of course I am.” She tried to sound as dramatically tired as possible, even as she stepped up close and slipped an arm around his waist. He was warm, and she always liked that. “It’s not my favorite thing to do, or anything. And I certainly don’t want to spend another minute with you or in your room or anything.”

She began to lean on him just a little, and she smiled. “You don’t mind, do you?” If he let her, she was going to fall asleep in his room again.

"You?" She chuckled at his reaction. "Think of me~ all this time I have to spend." But it was hard to pretend to be tortured when it was so easy to just hug him closer. It completely ruined the effect.

"Good, because I'm rather fond of my human pillow, too." It didn't matter what anyone else said (especially not Armagnac). Warm and calm, and when the nightmares woke her she'd just snuggle and things would be okay again. She leaned on him a little more.

"Okay," she said, grinning as she felt his lips on her cheek. A quick walk, just a short relaxing stroll, and then back to work. One day, though, she'd tell him about the tingles that went down her spine when he'd whisper close to her ear like that. But not today. "You owe me nothing. But I'll take whatever you want to give me."

They walked on for a few minutes.

"So, um, how many more titans did you want to fight today?"
