[She sighs again and tries to relax. The argument did loosen her up a little, but Elizabeth feels tired now too. Perhaps from all the stress.]

Are we going to have some time alone?

[voidseeing]

We can make time alone if you want. Law will cover for you, no questions asked. Besides, everyone needs breaks now and again. I doubt they'll have me out there sweet-talking our hosts the whole time either.

[He tries to keep things light to help ease her worries. Free time will be a thing if only because he will make it a thing, and no one gets in Gai's way when he's set his mind to something.]

[tearmeanewone]

No, I really want to spend all of my time giving injections and sewing up wounds and wrapping bandages. [More sarcasm, and she bumps her head lightly against Gai's sternum. She didn't mean to be sarcastic.]

I know we shouldn't be out there and messing around. But I feel like I'm about to blow this entire room wide open and we aren't even there yet.

[voidseeing]

And that's exactly why we should make time to mess around, relieve some stress. Surely you don't think that even soldiers don't have downtime between battles. That's how they stay focused in combat.

[When she leans her head against him, he reaches up to rub the back of her neck in a sort of massage to help relax her... hopefully.]

[tearmeanewone]

Oh... [No, she really hadn't considered what soldiers would do on their days off. But, frankly, Elizabeth reasons that if she had someone special and she could die any day, she'd 'mess around' as much as she wanted.]

[And she suspected that might have been where Gai got all of his 'experience'.]

But you aren't thinking we're going to... [She looks up at him and raises her eyebrows in a 'You Know...' sort of way.] I mean, you didn't pack those... did you?

[voidseeing]

Always come prepared.

[He meets that raise of her eyebrows with a wink, knowing exactly what she's implying with that. Quite honestly, he isn't expecting things to go that far, but the last thing he wants is to be caught without certain important supplies should the need for them arise. This is very much a case of "better to be safe than sorry."]

[tearmeanewone]

[Elizabeth blushes at the implication, but she doesn't know whether to feel flattered he wanted to, or embarrassed at the images of her and Gai being intimate in the middle of a desert.]

[She settles on flashing him a tired smile and resting her head on his chest again.] Hope springs eternal in the boyfriend's breast...

[voidseeing]

[Well, there is something to be said about exotic locales... but the heat might be a bit of a turn-off. Or a turn-on, who knows. Either way, he's not expecting much of anything to happen.]

Something tells me that's not where the hope is going to be springing.

[Look, Elizabeth, he will even be good and stand perfectly still so you can hit him this time.]

[tearmeanewone]

[Oh boy!]

[She socks him lightly in the side with a half-formed fist.]

You're incorrigible.

[voidseeing]

[Gai will take that as a compliment and just laugh, keeping his arms around her.

If she wants to stay like this until it's time for them to leave, that's just fine with him.]
