Feeling your cold go away yet?

[She's joking, but isn't breaking her gaze away from him. This is sweet, he's sweet, and his shoulders are just a little broader than hers. They feel supportive like he is and that's what Iona is treasuring at this very moment.]

[dilatory]

Cold? What cold?

[He laughs lightly, but not pulling his gaze away from hers, either.] I'm actually feeling a little warm, now. Wonder why? [It's definitely not because he's sick.]

[infusion]

[She can keep flirting and prolonging this (and why not?) or she could... Ah, what the heck. Might as well take advantage of this position and it's been a long time in the works.

Iona has her lips meet his, warm and soft. It's just a surface level kiss, but it blooms on its own like that, replacing what words can't possibly replicate.]

[dilatory]

[Her lips are warm and soft, and Michael isn't one to stop her from kissing him. He might not have been the first one to engage it, but he certainly doesn't pull away, despite his faint surprise.

He leans into it, arms drawing her close -- his kiss is soft and a little timid at first, but it doesn't take long for it to mirror hers in terms of quiet eagerness.

This is a moment in time he would gladly keep frozen if given the choice.]

[infusion]

[She doesn't press any more than she needs to although she does hug him a little closer. And when she pulls back, she's actually blushing somewhat and she uses one hand to brush back some of her hair.]

Ah... Feel better?

[Okay, so she could have said something a bit more romantic, but, she works with what she's got.]

[dilatory]

[Michael notes her blush when she pulls back, but it's not like his cheeks aren't red, either. He's giving her a slightly dazed (from happiness) smile.

And hey, she did make him momentarily forget that he was even sick, so there's some romanticism to be had in that.]

Feeling pretty good, all things considered. How was it, for a first-timer? [The kiss, he means.]

[infusion]

Can't go anywhere, but up from that, Michael. [And she gives him a kiss on the cheek.]

Alright, I better let you finish up some of the tea and food now. I can't take away all of your attention now, can I?

[dilatory]

I don't mind you taking my attention away from anything. [But of course, he'd barely get anything done if indulged in that way, so he adds:]

But you're right. I should eat for now. After I'm done, you need any help with anything? Cleaning up, or...?

[He's not exactly sure what went on while he was asleep, but he's glad to help in any way he can.]

[infusion]

No, you rest off that cold. And like I said, Oren's already cleaned up your place!

[She stands up so she can take out the chair.]

If you want me to hang around to kiss you more, I'd be happy to, but I'd be happier if your cold went away so you felt better.

[dilatory]

[The way she talks, it's almost as if she's implying that Oren cleaned up everything -- which would be crazy, but he'll have to check it out whenever he's feeling at 100 percent.]

All right. That's motivation enough for me to get some rest. [the kissing can resume later. He settles back into his bed, offering a, "Thanks, Iona", before she can leave.]
