No pain... [Open]

So, the hostages had been rescued successfully and were recovering. The crew members affected by the clock were back to their proper age.

Sherry was back to her proper age. Something which was both a great relief and tremendously heartbreaking at the same time. He was glad she was back to being his little linefacer, but getting a chance to see her when she was so small, during all the years of her life that he hadn't been a part of.

At least he took plenty of pictures.

Though, while a couple of problems were solved, there were still plenty more to deal with. The map; whether or not the GIA set them up at NiSaris; the Ohm; replacing repodded personnel... Though he was taking a break from that now. Or was trying to, at least. Not an easy thing to do with a ton of stuff weighing on his mind.

To help clear his mind, he went down to the City (which reminded him, at some point, he needed suggest to the Council that they actually give the City a name), and at the moment was hanging upside down from a tall fence doing one sit up after another. He wasn't out of shape, still barely having an ounce of fat on him, and by no means rusty, but the rescue mission had made him realize he had been out of the field and behind a desk for too long. Being some distant, hands off executive wasn't his style. And whatever was about to come their way next, he'd need to be at his best to help.

"So you decided to go big to make up for it?" He teased, playfully.

He grinned, and leaned against the fence. "So. 'When.'"

Claire turned and punched Leon lightly in the shoulder for that remark, even though she really did have it coming. She relaxed after that though, crossing her arms and nodding her head, trying to commit herself to what she'd accidentally said.

"Eventually. Maybe. Once we're not living on a space ship." Not that Stacy was allowing kids to be born onboard, anyway. "And... you know, if you want that."

He was still grinning, even after the punch. He did think about the tail end of that remark, though.

"I do want that," he finally answered. "Eventually." No maybes about it.

She was starting to get a little nervous that she'd unintentionally said something really spectacularly off-base, but she relaxed when he finally answered. She managed to smile at his answer, breathing out a sigh and relaxing her shoulders which had tensed up while she'd been waiting for a response.

"Good. Okay. Now that that's... settled, I'm gonna go bury my head in the sand until you forget I just unintentionally threw our relationship into awkward territory."

"Like I'd let you off that easily," he teased, and pulled her a little closer. "You wanna have my babies~ You wanna have my babies~"

Yes, he's five. Shut up.

Sometimes she hated Leon almost as much as she loved him. This was definitely one of those times. Despite fighting to keep a serious face, the fact that she was turning a little red made it clear he was getting to her. She broke after about half a second, and laughed a little, rolling her head to the side.

"I think I just changed my mind."

[governmentninja]

"Too late for that," he stated, and gave her a quick kiss.

"No takebacks."

Claire wrinkled her nose at him, chuckling softly and leaning her forehead against his.

"I hate you so much."
