Sorry. I just enjoy being dodgy--I'd love to gossip about cute boys, sweetie.

Though--who says we can't watch a movie and gossip about cute boys at the same time?

[animated]

That sounds like an amazing plan. Popcorn?

[stealwithit]

Yes, please. I missed popcorn and movie nights here so much.

Speaking of cute boys, though-- [ Kasumi, the person you are about to namedrop does not fit into the cute boy category at all. ] How much have I missed? Are you and Bull still... y'know?

[ He shoots her a grin and begins rifling through the cabinet where they keep the snacks for popcorn. There's a bit of a pause when she brings up the Qunari in the room, though.

Well, not literally in the room but. You know. ]

I'm not sure how you got from "cute boys" to "the Iron Bull".

[stealwithit]

I mean, he's got to have some points in the cute boy category if he caught your eye, you know?

Or is there someone else now? A lot can happen in a month. I'm just making sure.

[animated]

You are asking an awful lot of questions and I don't know if we have enough beer in the fridge for me to answer them.

[stealwithit]

Sorry. [ she raises her hands as though in defeat. ]

We can go back to talking about my nonexistent sexual escapades, if you'd like. My sexcapades.

[animated]

No, it’s fine. I just… [ he heaves a sigh as he takes a bag of popcorn down from the cabinet. He stares at the counter top for a few seconds before turning to Kasumi with a resigned sort of smile. ]

I didn’t want to complicate our little arrangement by getting attached, but I’m afraid I’m way past that point.

[ That gives her pause, and after that, she glances around the room quickly before she takes off her hood; because she wants Charlie to see the sympathetic look on her face as she walks over and places a hand over his shoulder. It softens into a reassuring smile soon enough. ]

Oh, sweetheart... does he know?

[animated]

I haven't said anything. Not sure how that would go over, you know?

[stealwithit]

[ Have a hug, for a moment, and when she pulls away, she moves over to grab the bag of popcorn and takes it upon herself to get it going in the microwave. ]

Have you guys actually gone on a date or anything?

[animated]

Well, we sort of... accidentally arranged a date? We haven't gone yet, though.

[stealwithit]

[ She claps her hands together softly and grins, the sounds of popcorn popping in the microwave going in the background. ]

Then make it happen before you both forget you even made any arrangements.

And I get to pick out your outfit.

[animated]

As if I would trust anyone else with my outfit.

[stealwithit]

Good thing I showed up again, huh? If you ended up having to ask Peter I'm sure he would've just told you not to wear anything.
