Maybe. But that doesn't mean I need to make things more difficult.
[ if she didn't lose her temper, if she wasn't so stubborn all the time, maybe they wouldn't have argued and he wouldn't have lost control. it's a work in progress, but she's trying.
she pushes the towel down over his head to hang around his neck, leaning forward to rest her forehead against his bare shoulder. ]
[ Carefully he brings up his hand and places it on the back of her head, turning his face briefly into her hair. It's the closest thing to a hug he can manage while trying not to make things more awkward given his current state. Even if she likes water more than he does, that doesn't mean she necessarily likes being damp. ]
I know. And if it does, we'll deal with it again. We persevere; that's what we do.
[ No matter what happens between them or to them, he has an unshakeable faith in that concept. From his childhood there was Mag and Tia, and they've been such an integral part of his life and the person he's become. They're a part of him, and for him it's such simple fact, as true and as undeniable as the tides. ]
If it happens a hundred more times, it's what we'll do.
[ she closes her eyes and brings her hands up to curl around his shoulders, tucking her face into the crook of his neck. she doesn't even mind that he's damp, he's warm enough that it doesn't matter in the end. ]
Okay.
[ she used to think it was naive of him to have that much faith in her, in them, but lately she's come to appreciate it. compared to when they first started, things have been a lot smoother in recent years and she has finally accepted the fact that they are capable of accomplishing so much more together. jori brings out the best in her, challenges her to strive for more. she's not sure what kind of person she'd be without him or mag in her life. ]
[ He smiles then and kisses the side of her head. She definitely has been working on her temper, and he knows and appreciates it. It's evident enough in the way she's not fighting him now.
He almost wants to say something big, something important. To tell her a little about what she means to him, about how important their work and partnership is. Or even I love you and everything will be okay. But he wonders if this isn't the time. They both seem a little shaky right now, and he's all about balance. Maybe it would be better to lighten the mood slightly. ]
...And maybe we can keep the whole stove thing a secret.
[ Though he's inviting her to laugh at him, he's also half serious. Who would be the worst to find out? His family or Mag? He really doesn't want to know the answer to that. ]
[ he kisses her head and she smiles against his skin, two parts relieved and one part pleased. she was worried he'd be more upset with her, but she keeps forgetting that although he has a tendency to let his anger flare out, he's just as quick to forgive. they've been partners for years and the fact that he's never left her says something. ]
[ He's got himself under control enough that he can let himself steam a little bit on purpose. Not literally, but at least it'll help his clothes dry a bit faster. He takes the towel from around his neck and quickly runs it over his arms and torso. ]
We'll see what it costs, then decide.
[ He pauses and looks at her with a small, almost guilty smile. ] I mean, we could get a slightly nicer one, maybe.
on the one hand, a new and nicer stove would be pricier. but on the other hand, he could probably make even better food with it. that's always a good thing. plus, business has been good, she's picked up a few modeling gigs on the side lately, so-- ]
[ That was... very easy. Almost suspiciously so. But Jori's too pleased with the thought to look a gift horse in the mouth. Maybe he'll just work overtime. He'd probably rather have a stove sooner than a nicer stove later. He does not always want take out! ]
Thanks. Though, um. I'm gonna go change, okay?
[ Seriously this is taking too long and he doesn't want to risk his power flaring again. ]
[ but she doesn't move, brushing out her hair in front of the sink. because it's totally normal to be in the same room when your roommate/partner/boything (??) is changing. ]

I was gonna suggest the same thing.

I hope you're fine with take out until we get it fixed. I'll pay for that, by the way.
[ Hopefully it's not too much. There is something he can do if he has to, but he'll cross that bridge if he has to. ]
