Morgan. It's been a while since we've had one of those warden-inmate heart-to-hearts.

It sounds to me like you have intimacy problems, love. But I'm a patient man. We can work through all that.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

The answer is 'no', Major. We're not doing that.

Morgan. [A romantic pause]

I would love to make an honest woman out of you.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

What're you talking about? I am an honest wo --

[Oh.]

...

[She hands him her empty glass.]

I'd like another, please.

Anything you wish, my...

[He doesn't usually do nicknames or anything like that. Not his style. But then, she's a lady, and he ought to treat a lady a bit differently than a bloke, yeah?]

...turtledove. [And so, he pours another drink]

...

[That was it. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She laughed. Uproariously.]

[The Major starts laughing too, then stops abruptly]

I don't get it. What're we laughing at?

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

I'm so-- [She has to get a few more chuckles out before she's calm enough to even finished the word.] I'm sorry.

You're trying way too hard, Major.

[Action!]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm new to courting birds!

[Whoops]

I mean.

I love you.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

That's -- [Oh how NOT to botch this up?] -- but I know. So you don't need to try so hard. No 'courting'. I like you better when you're just doing what you usually do.

[Doing what he normally does? But what he normally does has nothing to do with Morgan! And now... now he wants EVERYTHING to do with Morgan]

Doing what I usually...you mean, being... gay?

[No, that's silly. Why's he feeling so silly today?]

I'm sorry. This got off to a bad start. Let me cook you dinner.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

[There was no easy way to get out of this. So she was just going to have to ride it on through, and try her best not to do anything that's going to hurt him now or later.] All right. [She smiles.] You can cook?

[Action!]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

[He could cook in the loosest sense of the word.]

Absolutely! What would you like? I'll make you anything.

[There was always time to learn...]

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

I'm not picky. Make your favorite, then.

[Action!]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Oh no no, but this is for you. [IDEA!] I'll look up Caribbean recipes at the library! Give you a taste of home.

[Before giving, of course, A TASTE OF THE MAJOR.]

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

(ooc: I lol'd)

All right. It has been a while...

[She rubs the back of her head.] Should I let you be, then?

[Action!]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I'll be in the library, love. Should you need me. [And with that, he kisses her forehead and bounds off]
