She walks into the room looking somewhat confident

I could be your damsel in-

She makes an attempt to lean on something casually but miscalculates where it is and just ends up falling and hitting the floor. She gets back up, dusting herself off, now just looking embarrassed.

I could be a damsel and be in distress

She laughs nervously because honestly how do you fuck up flirting THAT bad

But uh- I could also just throw myself into a neutron star because of- that- haha-

Tiv begins to short circuit the moment she starts with her pickup line but her little fumble keeps her grounded just long enough to full absorb her comment. They’re beside her in a few short steps, holding one of her hands and helping keep her steady on her feet.

What, uh… what did you have in mind?

[oneeyed-jacks]

Wouldn't it be funny if I brought my good friend Jonny over

( @engineeroftheaurora )

I don’t see what would be funny bout that.

[lesbian-science-officer]

I brought you

Flowers

Erm

If she could blush she would be

@engineeroftheaurora

Oh- Nastya… that’s very sweet

Thank you, I’ll keep them in my lab!

[caphhhhfgjdkhgjfj-firstmate]

Do not eat the gravy

@engineeroftheaurora

Dunno why ya need t’ tell someone in a different universe that

[swarm-mother]

I fear I may be having a flare-up, would you be so kind as to bring me some medicine, water, possibly a snack?

( @engineeroftheaurora )

Right away!

They grab their go bag, filled with everything Nastya should need, and rushes their way into the engine room.

I'm here, is everything okay?

[swarm-mother]

Your kids watch you kiss??? There's children!

My kids? You mean the octokittens?

Imma be real with you, I don't know if most of the octokittens totally understand what a kiss even is, let alone do they care if I have a sloppy make out session with Nas in front of them.

[swarm-mother]

Happy Valentine's Day, lovely Tiv!

( @engineeroftheaurora )

Oh! Thank you love! And a lovely Valentine's Day to my most favorite engineer as well!

Any plans with your wifey today?

[swarm-mother]

Would you still love me if I was a worm

( @engineeroftheaurora )

I would love you and cherish you and build you a little terrariums with the best soil I could find. I would make sure you were well fed and I would do all the research I could to make you the most comfortable worm imaginable.

And then I would kill whatever wizard or mad scientist it was that turned my beloved into an insect.
