Leave me a scenario (one of your own or choose from here) and include any particular preferences as well if you wish.
Or, if you want to just leave a comment with a picture or a word as a prompt and suggest which muse of mine you want, that works too! I might just be a bit slow with those.
Make a reply asking for anyone here on the subject title.
If you choose a character on the maybe list, I will definitely be slow with them.
If you know a specific "verse" of character you want, specify. If it's a cross-canon scene and you don't specify, you might get a CR AU.
Alternately, if you'd rather place a comment on the muse's contact post. Or if you want to do something a little more privately, let me know and I'll set something up elsewhere.
Go to the RNG if you don't have a specific scenario in mind.
So transparent that he's almost invisible, as she had once told him. At that point, she had been infuriated by it. Right now, she has come to expect it. This is how they work and even if she might have it in mind to make him wait just a while longer for that particular endeavor, it might not mean she will make him wait for everything.
Though, in all fairness, her lips haven't exactly recovered since their first mutual kiss.
"Is that what this is?" she asks, continuing their normal banter rather than draw attention to what's on both of their minds or the state of her lips. As though she had no idea what a vacation really was. For all anyone else knew, perhaps she didn't. Maybe she had long ago lost the definition of a vacation or holiday or anything like that. "And here I thought we had come for work."
She hadn't and he knows it, but really it does just add credence to his gentle needling. In her prime, she had only taken a vacation for a week once every seven years. Who knows if that has changed?
Pursing her lips, she shifts just slightly, the fingers of one hand barely drifting closer to him until they gently rest over his hand. No words spared towards what she's doing. Just the small action itself that speaks very little but says so much. Apparently, she is relaxing. Slowly, little by little, the tension eases from her and she allows herself, with Nikola of all people, to feel as she has not allowed herself to feel in years. Over an entire century.
The bonus with Nikola is that she won't be losing him anytime soon. Or ever, if she has anything to say about it. She won't lose him, not again. Her feelings for him have turned far too strong for her to survive losing him, too.
It always has been how they work, and he'd have expected nothing less. Besides, for all that he's not always patient in other areas of his life he can - and always will - wait for her. Besides, for all that he might tease and prod, the process of getting anywhere is just as enjoyable as anything else.
As is the fact that she's already drifting closer, until her hand is resting over his. It's a small thing, yes. But one that means just as much now as it had during there flight and even he can tell that she is relaxing, bit by bit. And to be entirely honest, he could ask for nothing more. Not when knows very well that asking her to not do anything to plan out their vacation would have been a lost cause.
(And he means to do everything in his power to make sure that she doesn't lose him any time soon. Not now that they have take their relationship to another level.)
"Why, Helen," he murmurs. "Are you saying you consider me important to your work?"
It's at least half-way a tease, given the amusement in his eyes, but he can't deny that he might like being important to her, if absolutely nothing else.
A lost cause it might have been, but, oddly enough, she's feeling generous at this point. Quite generous, if the other things on her mind are anything to go by. The schoolgirl feeling hasn't really left and somehow she doubts it will for a long time to come.
That and what manages to claw its way out of her mouth before she even thinks to stop it: "I consider you important to my life."
And because she is Helen Magnus, Nikola can be assured that she means every syllable of what she just said.
However, the fact of the matter is that she is also not prone to expressions of affection that are quite that visible, especially with him. So, in an effort to combat the honesty and vulnerability she just laid bare in front of him, she lets go of him. Kicking off her shoes, she scoots back on the bed and shifts so that she's lying down on her side across the bed. Watching him to see his reaction, she pats the covers invitingly.
It may not be entirely what they both have in mind, as she isn't going to be easy and neither would expect her to be, but if things progress in that direction, she isn't about to stop them.
