The lab rat held out a small box, neatly-wrapped with a bow, dainty much like the little lady herself. Inside the Wanderer would find a simple silver pendant: delicate, shaped like a cog, it was as if she'd pried it from a machine itself were it not for the silver. She smiled, quite coyly. "Gate says it will keep you safe. Says that, if you give something to someone you care for very much, those feelings will stay with it - keep you safe even when you are far across the city from me."

“Gate is a smart man, and it’s good that you have taken to speaking with him. I’m glad he could impart that knowledge to you. “ Rover replied, taking the pendant and inspecting it, calloused fingers spinning it around. Its simplicity was its beauty, much like the woman across from him. Rover added the cog to the collection around his neck.

“Thank you, mon chéri. And here, I have a gift for you.” Rover leaned forward and planted a small kiss on his love. “A night by the fire, just you, me, and a few drinks. No deliveries, no doctors, nothing.”

Strange, that the little lab rat was wont to gently place Blinky aside, because very few things were above said cat in order of favour. So it was that she made grabbing hands at the big, tough Wanderer from the comfort of her seat wordlessly - she wanted to be affectionate.

The hands made contact unexpectedly as he cooked. So absorbed in his craft, the tall man rarely ever noticed anything outside of what he was working with. Once the contact was made, all focus removed itself from the fish he was prepping for the sushi they were to have for dinner, and he looked over to the culprit.

With a chuckle, Rover lifted Fleurette onto the counter next to him, planting a kiss on her nose as she settled in, muscles barely even flexing at her weight. His little blind love was looking healthier these days, and for that he was thankful, so he put another little kiss on her neck.

“Did you move the cat to be near me, bellissimo (beautiful)? That is quite the compliment.” He gave her thigh a squeeze before getting back to work, his button up shirt tight to his body. It’s hard to find things in his size these days.
