[She rolls her eyes.]

You're getting oatmeal every night, just for that.

[batricide]

Harsh words. Let's see if you've got the follow-through.

[fledges]

I can't believe you're doubting me. What are you going to do about it if I do follow through?

[batricide]

Order out, obviously.

[fledges]

[Kate bursts out laughing. It's maybe the first time she's relaxed enough to in days.]

Wow, what a threat. How will I possibly go on?

[batricide]

You'll just need to get on my level, Bishop.

[ it does feel good to hear her laugh, though. thank god. ]

[fledges]

[She nudges him with the pillow this time, still smiling.]

I've always been on your level.

[batricide]

[ he'll!! allow it! partly because he's also just too damn tired to move right now. ] Comparable, but not quite.

[fledges]

You need to work on your compliments.

[batricide]

I've given you plenty of compliments. You're not mediocre, Kate. I don't say that lightly.

[ okay maybe not plenty, but. ]

But no one is on my level.

[fledges]

[Kate rolls her eyes at that.]

Wow. Not mediocre. Be still my heart.

[batricide]

[ her heart, huh. ]

You can best me in archery. I was trained by the world's greatest archers. [ look. a real compliment. ] That might mean you're better than the best.

Or, I've lost my touch.

[fledges]

Oh, that was almost a compliment. I'd count it if I didn't have to scold you to get it.

[batricide]

Are you keeping track now?

[fledges]

[She smiles wryly.]

Yep. I have a little journal and everything.

[batricide]

[ laughing, just a little. ]

I didn't know my approval meant so much to you.

[fledges]

I base all my self-worth on it.

[She stretches her leg out to bump his knee with her foot.]

It'd be nice if you were as vocal about the things you like as you are about the things you don't.
