Trust me, you succeed. ❤️

I think most people don't give umbrellas so much thought, you could always try and make something yourself if it's really bothering you.

❤️

I'm not much of an inventor though
unfortunately

[dawn_is_breaking]

You're a lover not an inventor?

[counterstep]

dunno about that
probably more a fighter than even a lover

[dawn_is_breaking]

I beg to differ.
😘

But don't worry, I won't tell any of your coworkers how much you like to snuggle.

[counterstep]

that's only cause I haven't any reason to fight you, darling

I'm a very different person when working

[dawn_is_breaking]

Does sparring count?

I don't fully believe that.

[counterstep]

not really
for better or worse I usually have to pull my punches
cause of the serum

and I don't expect you to but I know personally

[dawn_is_breaking]

I figured.
You're sweet to let me win then.

It might have been true before but things are different now, you're in control of yourself.

[counterstep]

I try to let strategy be the driving force in a spar instead of strength
it's not really me letting you win

that's not really what I mean, but I understand why you'd think I mean that
I just approach things very differently, between personal and professional

[dawn_is_breaking]

You sure? Because you seem to let me get on top a lot. ;)

That doesn't make you a different person, it's just another side of you.

[counterstep]

usually cause I already conceded the loss
it's not always about the physical part of the spar either

sure but my point still stands that you probably wouldn't recognize me while I'm working a mission

[dawn_is_breaking]

James, I'm trying to flirt with you here sweetheart.

I think I would if you ever let me come on one.

[counterstep]

oh
shit
I'm sorry
I don't know how I missed that
sorry

much as I know how much that'd mean, I don't really think I can
I try not to mix work with anything personal
I kind of need to

[dawn_is_breaking]

It's okay. I love you even when you're a little clueless.

That's fine, I respect that.
In a way it's kind of nice having our work not overlap, I've done that before and it caused issues.

[counterstep]

thanks
I think

there's just a lot that goes into it that's different
what's good for a mission might not be what's good for someone you care about
you know?

[dawn_is_breaking]

I think your lack of flirting skills is cute.

I do know. And if a mission is particularly stressful it can really strain a relationship and cause arguments.

[counterstep]

it's not that I don't have any
I guess it's just different how people do it now so it's not as natural for me

right which would be awful because I don't want to argue with you at all
