Darling, are you suggesting a career change?

Hold please, fighting giant scorpion.

[portolan]

Am I being that opaque?

Here I was trying not to be pushy the last few months. I thought I was overstepping.

Can you cook giant scorpion?

[helpdesk_hero]

You really are. But I welcome it, my beauty. We'll look into it, together. And suggesting the next step in our lives is never overstepping.

It's mechanical, so no.

[portolan]

Well in that case, I'm enthusiastically encouraging it. You're a talented cook, and more importantly, you're happier cooking than at work. I think it's worth trying.

I always seem to forget this world's monsters are often tech.

[helpdesk_hero]

You really believe in this for me, don't you?

There are too many tech ones. It's tiring sometimes. But this one overloaded my technopathy. Migraine, yeah.

[portolan]

I'll have the drop cloth laid out for you and coffee ready. Sorry love.

And yes, I do. You've been wanting a change, and AdapTech isn't what it used to be. Why not use it as an excuse to try? If you hate it, you can try something else.

You are an angel as ever, mon trésor.

I'm going to try. Thank you. I'm also not sure what Billy's going to do with this offer, but yeah, maybe get the sheets changed in the guest room. I'll be making dinner either way, if I can move. If I can't, well, I'll bring something home.

[portolan]

Already have the sheets in the wash. And I can make or pick up dinner; if you're bad enough not to cook, you don't need to be prolonging your time outside.

You're so wonderful. As ever I worship your power and skill, my beloved.
