The following day, Sadde goes to town at a reasonable time to buy a tiny cactus with some of the proceeds from his terribly tedious job, and sneaks it into the bag with his clothing he brings to Isabella's room. It is inside a cute little box, which he offers Isabella the following morning when she wakes up, saying, "Happy three-month anniversary!"

"Aww, pet. You can do cool shit too." Scritch scritch. "Terraform me a planet."

[mrmage]

He giggles. "Okay, point."

[eclipsi]

She grins.

[mrmage]

"Overall I think the fact that you're a psion and I'm a mage is pretty great."

[eclipsi]

"I agree."

[mrmage]

"After I make everyone immortal we should fund a planet," he muses.

[eclipsi]

"Fund it? I was envisioning a queen-and-consort-and-happy-subjects setup."

[mrmage]

He pictures this. "Okay yes I prefer that. I want a crown."

[eclipsi]

"Sure, why not."

[mrmage]

"What would my crown look like, though. An organic aesthetic I think..."

[eclipsi]

"You'll have to be able to do neat things with plants to terraform a planet, you could make something out of plants."

[mrmage]

"A garland of roses," he suggests, and giggles.

[eclipsi]

"I was thinking something with vines and optionally thorns," she says. "Ivy."

[mrmage]

"Yeah, that sounds more like my style."

[eclipsi]

"Or laurel and a toga."

[mrmage]

"Really? I mean, not that I much mind the idea of being a single piece of fabric away from being naked in your presence, but why?"

[eclipsi]

"I'm just being silly. I actually have few opinions on clothes in general except 'crowns are cool'. I'll probably go around in a circlet and jeans and a t-shirt."

[mrmage]

"I could go with a toga and the thorny vines, that way there's the advantage of the cool crown and being easy to strip when you feel like taking me."

[eclipsi]

Giggle.

[mrmage]

"Although if we're queen-and-consort of the world I could just walk around actually naked."

[eclipsi]

"What if I want you-naked all to myself?"

[mrmage]

"You're the queen, obviously you can have whatever you want, especially where I'm concerned."

[eclipsi]

"Good," she says, running a knuckle along his jaw.

[mrmage]

"Mmm," he says, lowering his eyes.

[eclipsi]

She pulls his face down and smooches him. "Mine."
