[ nothing wrong with keeping a boy on his toes, now, is there? though dutch hardly does it on purpose. she's not that calculating, though khlyen would have liked for her to be. ]
Yeah?
[ all their worlds are gone and dutch misses the quad, despite it all. she wants to face aneela. to get a chance to end the war. instead, she's here.
[ relief colours his face when she admits her newness to magic. sometimes, he feels like the only one from somewhere normal. ]
Huh. We've got different political structures, but the issues are kind of similar to me. [ suspicious royals, territorial lines, and so on. ] Did you mess around with that pact business back in Wyver?
[ interesting. both what she says about her home and the pact. ]
Yeah. Me and Henry gave it a go. [ he hasn't mentioned it to anyone, even harry hasn't discussed it since, but he doesn't think you'd have to be a spy to guess who he would select as a partner. ] It's weird shit, Dutch.
[ not bad or good weird, but he apparently speaks russian now, so. ]
Like... Henry studied some languages at uni, yeah? [ wait. ] Do you have uni? [ quickly. ] At school. And I didn't, not even a little. [ in a tone suggesting he finds that obvious. ] But now — it's like I did.
[ he's welcome to hit her up for a drink (or more likely: something else) any time — but yeah. it's pretty much whenever she wants and dutch likes it that way.
maybe eggsy deserves better. maybe he doesn't mind it. ]
[ so many of their conversations end this way... and yet he's a little surprised every time. if he looked pleased with himself before, he's positively smug now.
without hesitation, one hand instinctively goes to her waist. eggsy threads his other hand through her hair — and maybe that's still too sweet — before he leans in to kiss her. ]
[ she'd like to wipe that smugness off his face. fortunately for both of them, kissing means that he can't hold on to the expression and that dutch couldn't see it even if he did. it makes talking impossible, too.
dutch settles her hands on his shoulders and kisses him back, eager, a little greedy. a little sharp, too. ]

Yeah?
[ all their worlds are gone and dutch misses the quad, despite it all. she wants to face aneela. to get a chance to end the war. instead, she's here.
she shrugs. ] It's crazy, I'll give you that.
no subject
Like this place?
[ el nysa, in its craziness -- or in other ways. ]
no subject
Some of it, at least. Not the magic. [ that's new to her as well. ] And the politics are different.
no subject
Huh. We've got different political structures, but the issues are kind of similar to me. [ suspicious royals, territorial lines, and so on. ] Did you mess around with that pact business back in Wyver?
no subject
[ as for his second question, ] No.
[ too suspicious. too unwilling to link herself to anyone. lacking any serious candidates, too. ] Did you?
no subject
Yeah. Me and Henry gave it a go. [ he hasn't mentioned it to anyone, even harry hasn't discussed it since, but he doesn't think you'd have to be a spy to guess who he would select as a partner. ] It's weird shit, Dutch.

Weird how?

Fair. Guess that makes it just useful, not creepy as hells.
no subject
Yeah. [ more useful than he can let on. ] So have a magic hook-up with someone with sick powers next time.
no subject
[ even with what he's saying, dutch isn't sure she'd go for it. that she'd trust anyone enough to, much less the mages here. ]

[ dutch doesn't care much for either wyver or olympia, but wyver suits her better for now. ]
no subject
You mean I ain't gonna see you whenever I want — well, whenever you want.
[ teasing! but also it's definitely... whenever she wants... ]
no subject
maybe eggsy deserves better. maybe he doesn't mind it. ]
There's always the station.
no subject
Oh, stop it, you romantic.
[ but he'd go to the station in a heartbeat. ]
no subject
Take that back.
[ but she's smiling even as she nudges him with the toe of one boot. ]
no subject
[ sad dutch will never see casablanca tbh. ]
DID YOU EVEN SLEEP
[ stop!! making!! fun of her!! emotional constipation!!! she just likes the sex eggsy shut up ]
LISTEN IM JETLAGGED 4AM IS THE NEW 8AM
a sly little smile. ]
I know I'm glad I get to see more of you.
ok fine
Are you?
[ that's - sweet. which means dutch knocks back the rest of her second glass and moves over to where eggsy is, moving in to straddle him. ] Prove it.
[ as in, stop talking. ]
""''stop talking""" i'm laughing
without hesitation, one hand instinctively goes to her waist. eggsy threads his other hand through her hair — and maybe that's still too sweet — before he leans in to kiss her. ]
she's a mess
dutch settles her hands on his shoulders and kisses him back, eager, a little greedy. a little sharp, too. ]
