Samir glanced over his shoulder at her thoughtfully, and the smile was steadily in place. “Oh, maybe. I mean, certainly, if you’d like to meet him. But I like time with just you, too. If you’ve got time, maybe we could get together once a week to cook a meal? I think food always tastes better when you’ve got good company, and it’s always a bit more fun when you’ve got someone helping you. Or, at least,” he had to bite back a lap at the dogs that all stared eagerly at Marissa, “Someone to distract the pups.”

Maybe it was presumptuous of him to want her to have an excuse to get out of the Dark Kingdom once in a while, and he knew she had limited time but he didn’t want to monopolize it completely. He wanted to make sure she knew she was welcome and, if she needed, he’d just as happily bring things down to where she wasn’t on a time limit and they could just cook there.

He missed homecooked meals, and when he was by himself he sometimes made excuses to just get takeout, or make instant meals. With her there, he wanted to cook for her. He wanted to give her some time to just be normal, to relax.

She was important to him, she always had been. He knew being Half-Youma wasn’t easy for her, but he didn't want her to ever feel like an outsider just because she was a little different.

“Mmm,” She nodded. “I’d like that,” Marisa responded before her mind really had a chance to process his request. But once it did oh did her thoughts exploded in half a dozen different directions. Thankfully he wasn’t wearing one of her special earrings otherwise they would have surely overwhelmed him.

It wasn’t so much the frequency that caused her to panic, two hours a week wasn’t much time. If anything it was more that she’d have to make sure to set an alarm on her tablet as a reminder because one day often flowed so seamlessly into the next that she lost track of time so easily.

However, he was different. Samir experienced days, nights, and the passing of seasons. He had a job and family, moonlighted as a General in the late evenings, as well as a budding relationship. Two hours a week, not including shopping, might prove to be too much of a strain on his free time. But more than that she didn’t want to give Alpersite any reason to doubt Samir’s commitment to him.

Early in her relationship with Wolframite, she had been kind of demanding with his time. He had several partners before her and she did not want him coming back to their dorm with any of their scents. He upheld the promises he’d made but still, she worried, compared herself to former flings she’d never met, and tried to live up to unrealistic expectations impressed upon herself because in her heart she knew that eventually he would no longer be interested in having her around and at times it felt like that day was already here.

That worry aside, there was another reason for her to feel apprehensive about the suggestion… Money.

Three years now she has been without a job. If she’d been smart then she would have used the time to look into investment funds or cryptocurrency, something to gain a passive income to support herself since there was no way for her to make money in the Dark Kingdom. The jobs here were not paid, they were, as far as she was aware, just an expectation of those with power to fulfill certain tasks.

At most, the best she could do was treasure dive in the off-season to retrieve items lost in rivers, lakes, or the reservoir and pawn them off. It wasn’t much but kept things going- kind of.

The last thing she wanted to be thought of as a freeloader or leech. Not due to lack of trying, but more so that aside from a freak show at a moving circus, there weren't any jobs looking to hire a half-youma and part-time jobs would require at least four to six-hour shifts which far exceeded her allotted glamour time. Aside from stealing from the people she drained, something she did not partake in, there wasn’t much she could do and for one reason or another, asking for help didn’t feel like an option.

“Just, if things come up, be sure to let me know. Ok?” Marissa smiled sincerely but her heart still ached at the thought of it.

Samir tilted his head curiously. “Why would things come up?” he asked, perhaps a bit obvious in his surprise. “I’m usually pretty good at keeping a schedule, but I suppose if there was an emergency or something, I’d let you know so we could reschedule.”

He smiled reassuringly, mostly because he suspected there was something more than just what she was saying.

“I’m looking forward to it. We don’t have to cook all the time, either. We could do something else if you’d like. I’m happy to spend time with you. I feel like I’ve missed so much. Not that I want to be clingy or anything, but.” He smiled and shrugged. “I don’t want to only get to spend time with you when you’re working. I’ve always thought you were interesting, more than most people I’ve ever gotten to meet. I’ve been thinking about the reservoir too. I wondered if you’d been back to those caves? Any time I’m in the area I can’t help but wonder, but I don’t think I could brave those waters like you can.”

Marissa smirked, “You? Clingy…” tested the sound of the word with a raised brow and decided then and there that it definitely wasn’t a quality she would have attributed to him. “Nah,” Shook her head then turned back to the stove when the sound of hissing interrupted her thoughts.

Water bubbled and spoiled over the lip onto the burner and she reached over it to turn the heat down before adding in the noodles. The shrimp were basically done, it didn't take much to cook them thoroughly. Carefully she scooped them out and put them on a plate then moved the hot pan to the back burner so it could cool and put a saucepan on the front.

“I’ve gone back down there a few times,” technically more than a few but who was actually counting? The place was kind of like a sanctuary in a way, a place she could go to be around people and pretend that she was just some ordinary person there for a swim. But in the off-season, it was a prime opportunity to explore and partake in some questionably dangerous activities… “I may have spent some time trying to find the creature that was trying to drown people this last summer. ” and by people, she included herself in that lot.

Unfortunately, she had been in the midst of fighting a knight otherwise she would have allowed the thing to take her to wherever it was hiding. Delve deeper into the secrets of the reservoir, not like she could drown down there.

Samir blinked, a bit surprised, but laughed shortly after. “Oh, troublemaker. I’m guessing you didn’t find much.”

Dinner looked like it was going to be ready soon, so he looked at the dogs that had decided to make themselves rugs on the kitchen floor. It seemed like a good idea to get them out of the way so they could move to the table and actually enjoy the meal she’d worked so hard on.

“Let me go finish getting the table set up.” He placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her a squeeze. “Call if you need anything, otherwise you know anything in the kitchen is yours. I’ll be back soon, I’ll get drinks made and when we sit down you can tell me all about what you did find in those caves.”

He couldn’t think of any better dinner topic than exciting adventure stories, especially coming from someone he cared about so much.
