[Nah - but soon.
When he's settled she leans down to kiss his temple before getting them out of there. She's learned from their first date, and she's much better at getting him going without any real amount of effort. Off to the dining area they go! If anyone much cares about the sight of them she isn't really paying attention at the moment.
It's enough that they got over that little hill without getting into a fight or accidentally taking a break from each other. Hopefully that's the first and last time a guy tries to hop out a window to get away from her.]

[Stilted sense of humor: check. But as long as he's only teasing, then it's alright.]
I mean, we didn't have food, exactly, so I kind of understand why he went, but who the hell isn't scared to walk around so late? Augh. [She rolls her eyes at the memory, and suddenly realizes how heavily contextual it is.] He was fine, of course, I just chewed him out for a solid ten minutes and cried hysterically while doing so.
[She gathers her trash up rather neatly, and if he's done with everything but the cole slaw then she'll end up taking his stuff, too.]

Ah, jeez. How many is that? What's the going rate for kisses these days?
[He has pets! His fish are pets!
He has another slice of Jan's--it'll probably be a while until they make it to the couch, given how much he eats and the rate at which he eats it. But he's super comfy for her, a big muscle and tentacle seat that she has plenty of room to stretch out.]
Yeah, just--an older Legend of Zaida game that I never got around to beating...
[He's no professional gamer but if she really doesn't mind watching...]

[Maybe so, but that was really ... She won't forget it anytime soon.]
Good enough that we might only have a ten percent chance of getting lost if I'm the one leading us!
[The hand kneading concerns her, let the record show it! But she restrains herself.] I think there's supposed to be a movie theatre on this thing too, and I'm not believing it until I see it.
[Who knows why it fascinates her so much.]

Three small ones to last no longer than eight seconds, and one big one that either includes tongue or a full minute.
[At least she's specific. And he is very, very comfy, pretty much always has been.] I never imagined you were the gaming type.
[She hums a little pleasantly and tucks her head under his chin, carefully though, she's got a much better understanding of his sensitive anatomy and all that.] Hey.
[There's no easy way to get into it.] You're really great, you know that?
[Because he is.] I don't think I've known anyone who can cheer me up so damn easily, just by existing.

[If he can imagine it then he already knows her pretty well.]
Ultimately, yes, he was at least smart enough to get a tub.
[So they ate that all night until the situation resolved itself over the following twenty-four hours.] Let me go throw this out.
[She's a neat freak, but only gone for a few seconds.] Now if I ever cross my eyes at rocky road you'll know why!

In that case, we'll be fine if we stick together.
[One of the really nice things about being pushed around is that he can watch the passing scenery in a way he wouldn't be able to take in otherwise, trying to avoid people's feet and nasty corners.]
A movie theater or a theatre-theater? For live performances. [OR BOTH???]

Man. Inflation's been rough on the kissing industry.
[Very specific.]
I...happen to play games every so often. Does that make me a 'type'?
[Is this a good thing or a bad thi---oh, apparently it's a good thing. In response to her display of affection, his tentacles squeeze her legs gently. Boxer's all smiles.]
And here I thought you were here to cheer me up! [He leans in and gives her a few kisses in her hairline.]
Is there something you want to talk about?
[Very specific.]

[Oh, yes, please take it! Better one trip than two. He sips his water a bit as he watches her throw it out and return.]
Oh, that's fine. I'm more of a mint and chip guy. Or moose tracks. Or forbidden chocolate. Or french vanilla...
[A pause, and he sighs with an exasperated grin.]
Great. Now I want ice cream.

Isn't that generally the case?
[And the dining room is supposed to be ... She goes left. The exits, the dining area, and the locations of the emergency boats were all that she thought to memorize.]
That's a really good question. How cool would it be if there were live bands or something?! Ohh, what if there are plays!

[She laughs, but it's a little thin.]
That's the thing, I am supposed to be here cheering you up.
[So, yes, she does. But it feels incredibly selfish to get into right now, and this isn't a quiet way of asking for validation to talk about it anyway. Boxer's got enough on his plate.]

[Ohhhh, French Vanilla! With chocolate syrup!]
So let's get ice cream!
[Before he faces his great fear of heights.]
Oh, oh, oh, there's a place I want to take you to, they have ice cream!
[She practically vibrates with excitement.]

[He basically just beelined for their cabin so he could set up his bed...]
Oh, that'd be great. If they don't, I'm sure we can find that kind of thing on the island.
[Going to shows wasn't what was on his mind when they planned this trip, but they'll make for a fantastic back-up if the weather sours.
...though it might end up being sex too.]

[She likes them, but it definitely seems like more of a boat thing to do, to her! Any sort of show definitely isn't an island activity, to be honest.
But they're basically going to have sex every single night, if not every few hours, so that's kind of built in.]
I know we basically already live near the ocean already, but I can't wait to go swimming! I wonder if there'll be dolphins ..
[She's always wanted to see one! They seem like very nice creatures. Boxer doesn't have to put up with her rambling for too long, though because they make it to the dining room! ]

No, [That's not a funny topic and yet she ends up laughing.] seriously though, hats off to my birth control for withstanding the onslaught.
[She has no idea what she's going to do for the week it has to stay out but, uh, that's another conversation?] I swear you almost got through a few times there.
[See, this thing she's doing? It's called deflecting.]

[See, this thing she's doing? It's called deflecting.]
[She's already exploded on him before and he didn't seem to mind then! But, yeah, she'll make some attempt to keep herself under control, whether it works or not depends on how surprised he is at where they're going to get this ice cream from.
With all their trash gathered up and taken care of the tray goes to its designated spot so that they can get going! This time she doesn't ask permission to take over wheel duty, she just goes to it like they've always gone about it that way.]
By the way, what in the world is moose tracks?

[He's still kneading a little even as they sit at a table. They're given a menu of today's options for pre-lunch, which is basically a bunch of really delicious-sounding appetizers. To Boxer's relief, he finds himself ordering only half the menu.
After Nariko puts in her order, his hands finally come to a rest on his blanket. There is still activity below the table, though...there are some tentacles that start playing with Nariko's feet and ankles. She might find herself suddenly without shoes if she doesn't call him out on it. But despite his under-table shenanigans, he seems suddenly a lot calmer.]

[It's not, but he meant it to be.
Yeah, he knows she's deflecting. But he figures he'll play along to steep her in a little comfort with their banter.]
I may or may not be trying to beat the odds.
[He's not, actually, he's just joking around.]
Something gave you a spook?

[Whee! Gosh, this is a lot of fun. Just like a date should be.]
It's a vanilla base marbled with fudge and peanut butter cups. It's pretty rich; I don't think I'm gonna be in the mood for something like that after downing a pot roast sub.
[Yep, still in love.]

[Is he alright? It really seems like she needs to ask and she's about to after putting in her order, but then her heels are being slipped off. You'd think with a kraken boyfriend she wouldn't be surprised anymore but for just a second she is, though she refrains from anything more than looking down quickly.]
They didn't have steak!
[Now she's talking just to talk, because he does seem more relaxed and if this is helping, well ... She scoots in a little, spreads both legs out a little so they're easier for him to reach, not that he really needs much help.]
Oh well, I'm sure there's a really great one on the island.
