"Ugh, I'm not good with strategy," she said out loud. "Tom, just do what you have to do."
"I have to take orders," Tom said, bouncing on the balls of their feet.

"So… Shall we call this a victory on my end?" He asked, smug
"I don't know, sure." She rubbed her eyes.
"Okay then." He deactivated his stand
He picked her up and laid her down on the bed.
Nyx grinned, turning pink.
He laid beside her.
"That was fun."
"Fun for you, maybe. I've never had to strategize, that's Phoenix's specialty." She prodded his chest.
"Sorry about that…" He said
She laughed. "No, it's all right. You know, there were actually two illusionists in the lab. Fifteen and Sixteen. I never got to fight either of them, though."

"You'll see it sooner or later, I guess." She ran her fingers along it absentmindedly. You could barely see it under her jeans - some sort of a ridge.
"At the honeymoon?"
(I like this slow-burn romance)
(Me toooooo)
She smiled softly. "Yeah. But you've been warned, it's not pretty."
"I wanna kill those scientists for you…"
She laughed bitterly. "Too bad. They're already dead."
"Resurrection and second death." He told her
"Mm." She snuggled against him. "Not all of them were bad, though. Like Anne…"
"I can contact her…"
