I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

You're cooking for me now? I like this better than the closet organizing. I'll let you know when a good time is, but how about two weeks from now?

[tearmeanewone]

Two weeks sounds like a perfect amount of time for Miles to recover.

Can I still obnoxiously blow kisses to you across a crowded room before then?

[whatdidisay]

Only if you're fully prepared to deal with the consequences. Why blow kisses when I can just go straight to kissing?

[tearmeanewone]

Pah, your consequences are of little trouble to me, Ivan Vorpatril.

[whatdidisay]

Oh yeah? We'll just have to see about that.

[tearmeanewone]

Kiss me all you like, sir, but you'll never win!

[whatdidisay]

Name a time, name a place, and I'll prove you wrong.

[tearmeanewone]

Ten minutes, the observation deck?

[Taking care of Miles? Miles who?]

[whatdidisay]

( why must the world hate him so? ivan's reply is a little longer in coming, as much as it pains him )

I can't, I have to stay with Miles. ( YOU BETTER FUCKING APPRECIATE THIS, MILES NAISMITH VORKOSIGAN. ) I'll make it up to you as soon as I can, I promise.

[tearmeanewone]

[Right-- Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. That's who. Whoops.]

Right, of course, I didn't mean to try to distract you from him. You're just very distracting.

But you still wouldn't win!

[whatdidisay]

( it kills ivan a little to turn down making out with elizabeth for his frigging cousin, but-- he can't leave miles. and he can't let elizabeth in either, while miles is like he is.

frigging useless cousin, goddamn it. )

The competition's just delayed then, ready to be picked up I've got a moment to spare.

[tearmeanewone]

You'll have to track me down when you have a moment to spare. I imagine I'll be quite eager to play by that point.

[whatdidisay]

You're not the only one, Elizavetka.

[tearmeanewone]

[Her next text is a little long coming.]

I miss you, Vanya.

Don't take that as a suggestion you leave Miles, I just... wanted to say it.

[whatdidisay]

( oh. )

Me, too.

( he does, surprisingly so. what's he supposed to do with that? )

I'll see you as soon as I can. Try and find us some new books, alright?

[tearmeanewone]

[Oh.]

[He does too.]

I will! Maybe something a little less exciting this time...

[whatdidisay]

I could use as little excitement as possible, actually.
