	"See? Silver lining in the dark gloomy cloud." She makes quick work of the vacuuming, but ensures she's thorough. She even drags the nozzle over the bottoms of his feet, grinning, just to be sure. "Let me put this away and then you can start using me as your right hand... right hand?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Coming over to where he was by the computer, she draped an arm around his shoulder, looking at the screen with pretend fascination as she moved her mouth close to his ear. "Sweetie, I haven't even begun to make you suffer yet..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-19 01:46 am UTC (link)
	A light growl resonates in his throat. "That doesn't surprise me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-19 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Nipping his ear, she grinned, then slid to straddle his leg, giving her access to the keyboard. "Whatchya need?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yes, because I'm in a perfect place to give dictation right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Reaching for his arms, she wrapped them around her waist, snuggling in, then setting her own hands on the keyboard. "I think you're in the perfect place to give one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-19 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Another growl. "Fine." He cites off a few of his most recent findings for her to type in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-19 01:56 am UTC (link)
	And type them in she does, taking a moment to adjust herself to the format he'd set up. "See? Easy peasy." She had to forcibly remind herself not to wiggle in his lap, wanting to actually help, not hinder. For now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-19 02:04 am UTC (link)
	She did, reading over it as it popped up. "Okay, so, for those of us with IQ's lower than a million, would you mind a laymen's explanation of what this is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-19 02:12 am UTC (link)
	"Okay. And what are you looking for?" She pulled up all the sections he needed, placing them in order on the monitor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-19 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"Results from around 3:30 am." No he wasn't going to imply he was up that late. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-19 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Her nose twitched, but she managed to keep her mouth shut regarding that. She didn't quite have the right to start nagging at him to sleep normally. "Okay, gotchya." She pulled those up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-19 02:21 am UTC (link)
	And he reads the results. "Hmm, seems Shiar DNA is far more resistant to the x-gene than humanity's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Is that all you need? I can do more, you know. I'm not just a one-trick-click pony." She closed the file, then turned to rest her cheek on his shoulder.

"I really do hope you get what you need from this, Fred. And the next time you have another... change, how about you come get me and we can go for a run. Or you can rant. Or we can take it out in the Danger Room. I don't want you destroying your work over a fit of pique."

	"For now, yes." He thinks for a moment. "That would require more forethought than I typically have in those situations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-19 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"Mm," she snugs closer, taking advantage of the fact that she was effectively cuddling with him. "Well, how about instead of going off to sulk in a dark room, you come find me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
