Got them wrapped around your finger

wrapped around your finger selectively sweet shipping meme

You might be the biggest curmudgeon in the known universe, just as prickly as a porcupine. Perhaps you're on the other end of the spectrum, cool like a cucumber and never letting anyone get to you. They're not worthy of your time. Still, despite what the case may be, you have one little weak spot. The person you love gets all the sweetness and kindness you have, which admittedly may not be too much, and in your rare moments together, many would be shocked at how you behave. In fact, your special person might not even know that you can be grumpy outside of your encounters! Well, goes to show that everyone doen't know everything about you, do they? This meme is pretty shamelessly for fluff, opening up, dokis, and also more dokis. Respond with your character, preferences, what role you'd like to play if it matters, and any other info. Then, respond to others.

I don't know. Florida?

[It's a quick trip, and Miami sounds nice. It's not Cabo, but the beach in the day and the clubs at night ... Well. That'd be a switch from the norm. If she could ever get Ward out of the hotel room.]

You could probably use a tan.

[Joy smirks at him around a fork of quiche.]

[embezzle]

[ He laughs, slightly, a little bemused but still warm more than not. ]

You make it sound like we're going on spring break.

[ Again, there's a lull as he eats, his teasing still as non-committal as ever. (He's not always kind, even to her, but he tries. As most things do, it comes down to their father, and the perpetual frustration he feels of the ignorance of the rest of the world, despite the fact that he's complicit in it.) Beneath the table, there's still that point of contact, his foot by hers. ]

Could be nice, though. Rent a house on the Keys or something like that.

I don't remember either of us actually having spring break.

[But the fact that he's at least entertaining the idea, whether it's to humour her or just make idle conversation, makes her smile. She settles her fork on her plate, elbows on the table as she leans in towards him. There might almost be something conspiratorial about her look.]

Why not? You, me, a private beach. Detox from Manhattan for a couple of days.

[embezzle]

[ His eyebrows arch, the note of dubiousness in his expression growing a little more pronounced though, again, he doesn't outright say no. (It's hitting him again just how rare it is that they spend time together in a context that doesn't solely have to do with Rand, and for all that he might not be a good man when it comes down to brass tacks, he likes being able to make her smile.) ]

You think the building won't crumble the minute both of us are out the door? [ he intones, the line of his mouth twisting as he tries not to laugh. ]

We might be out of a company by the time we get back.

[She rolls her eyes, glancing out over the city. There are too many taller buildings between her home and Rand to see it, but she still sips her coffee with the shrug of one shoulder.]

I don't see any smoke in the sky so I have to assume it's doing just fine right now.

[His foot gets another nudge from hers, and for a brief moment her fingers press to Ward's wrist.] We can start small and work our way up to Florida.
