Make a cup with your hands to take a drink

[cendrawasih]

[Ava's bored. She rarely gets bored, because she pretty generally has stuff to do, but right now, she's bored. She wants to do something--it doesn't matter what, really. She kind of wants to go on an adventure. And when she wants to do that, there's one person she can always turn to.]

Heeeeey. I'm bored.

Comments

[particularly]

[He grins when the message comes through, slyly glancing around before turning an affected frown on his phone and ducking quickly out of the meeting.]

What's up buttercup?

[cendrawasih]

I'm bored and I miss you. Are you done working or whatever you're up to?

[Ava is not asking him to play hooky. Except how she might be. Bad Ava.]

[particularly]

Done now! Anything for darling sweet and wonderful you.

[Which is code for: this meeting bores even ME, save me! He is just sneaking back to his office...]

[cendrawasih]

You're pretty much the best.

[You've been saved, Edward. Your knight in shining armor is here, and it's distinctly Ava-shaped.]

[particularly]

I think you took that title from me a while back~

[Yeah. He uses the tilde regularly. He hopes with a soft smile that she remembers the sing-song way he'd say that if he was actually there.

Back in his office, he slams himself back into his desk chair, letting it roll back a foot or two before he leans forward again, grabs the edge of the desk, and drags himself forward while he cues up the phone system.

Ring ring, Ava. Stark-skype!]

[cendrawasih]

[OH LOOK. SKYPE. RINGING. Let's answer that.]

Hey, you!

[particularly]

[The smug grin turns completely doofy as he leans in and puts his chin on one hand.]

Hi. Bored?

[cendrawasih]

Yeah. Super duper bored. How about you?

[Edward, she gets all goofy when she sees your face, even if it's on a computer screen. Butterflies and smiles everywhere.]

[particularly]

That was the most boring meeting ever. The worst thing since your dad's date lectures.

[He will always hope that that feeling, their mutual silliness and affection, sticks with them both forever. He wants to love her more and more every minute, with plenty to spare that they'll make up within hours of a disagreement.]

You saved me. You're my knight in shining armor for real.

[cendrawasih]

Yeah? Awesome. Not the boring meeting, but me being your knight in shining armor.

[She wants to reach through the screen and grab him. It's crazy, how being apart makes her miss him, even if they haven't even been apart for that long.]

You know what you should do know? You should come get me, and we should go somewhere.

[particularly]

What if I get you some shining armor for your birthday?

[He looks like he wants to just roll over and curl up with her, but alas, working. Being an heir is tough.]

I'm stuck here for another hour. Dad's not gonna go easy on me if I don't hold down the fort.

[cendrawasih]

Ugh. Responsibility.

[bad Ava.]

After that, though?

[particularly]

After that?

[All grins now, he points at her.]

You. Me. Date.

[cendrawasih]

[biggest grin ever.]

A fun one, though. I want adventure.

[particularly]

An adventure? So no finance meeting charts and graphs?

[Fake pout.]

[cendrawasih]

Nope. Never. Ever.

[particularly]

You're going to make me come up with this whole thing on my own, aren't you?

[cendrawasih]

I thought you liked it when I did that.

[particularly]

Not when my brain is made of charts and graphs of stuff I thought I understood before they were charts and graphs. I like Venn diagrams better. One circle's you, one circle's me, the middle is our super awesome date.

[As he illustrates the circles with his hands.]

[cendrawasih]

[Snerk. Edward, you dork.]

Story of our lives.

[particularly]

What, super awesome dates? I like to think so.

[cendrawasih]

It's just kind of full of you, and me, and awesome everything.

[particularly]

One hundred percent guaranteed to satisfy.

[He hums thoughtfully.]

Well... there's always the yacht.

[cendrawasih]

What about the yacht?

[particularly]

Date on the yacht. Virgin daiquiris and fancy food...

[cendrawasih]

That sounds like fun. I could get behind that idea. I already am.

[particularly]

Sweet. Well as soon as they release me from my prison, we're going to give you the night of your life. Again.

[cendrawasih]

For the one hundredth time.
