Mike shook his head and laughed with her. “I am so gonna have to keep on my toes around you.” and he picked her straight up off the floor and wrapped his big arms around her and spun her around, laughing and smiling at her.

Mike

She tipped her head back and laughed while he spun her around. “I warned you, months ago. You said you could handle it. You’re stuck with me now.” Then she kissed him one more time before her feet touched the ground. “Alright, dinner, or?” She grinned wickedly at him and then turned to glare at the door as the chime rang. “Ms Edman?” She sighed and looked at Mike. “I dare you to tell them there is no Ms Edman here.” She knew the voice, it was Krissy a very young girl who’d earned an internship with the diplomatic corp.
Ms Edman who?

Mike shrugged and set her down and went to the door and opened it. “Sorry, no Ms. Edman here.” he said firmly, trying not to laugh.

Mike

The Talaxian girl looked at the information on the PaDD she was holding and then at the number by the door. “This is her room.” And she looked up, up and up at Mike. “Who are you? Where’s Ms Edman? And what are you doing in her room?” The girl’s voice was a little strained. Mike heard a sigh from behind him, and then she moved around him. “It’s okay Krissy. What is it? I’d like to get settled so I’m ready for my meetings tomorrow.” Krissy nodded, “The ambassador asked me to bring this to you.” She just stood there and Revna sighed again. “Krissy.” her voice was firm but kind and the girl looked back at her. “Oh…um, here.” She handed Revna the PaDD. “Thank you Krissy. Go get some sleep.” She waited for the girl to move down the hallway before turning back to Mike. “They gave me an intern…” She glanced at the PaDD and rolled her eyes. “0600 is too early for formal wear. No wonder diplomats are always on edge.” She tossed the PaDD on the table and picked up her drink and downed about half of it. She set the glass down and smiled at him. “Where were we?”

Revna sighed, Discretion Krissy.

Mike smiled and said “You suggested dinner… or…” and he stepped to her and put his hands on her waist. “But my love… you have a new gig, and you need to make a good first impression. So. In that vein…” and kissed her for a moment and then pulled back, “… what say we order room service and do our best to make sure each if us can’t stop smiling or thinking about the other all the time you are at work tomorrow?”

Mike

Revna grinned, “That sounds amazing, but you order. That” and she points to the PaDD, “Says ‘formal.’ Formal! At 0600 in the morning. That means I need to go digging.” She walked out of sight and stood there staring at the different crates. There were three, plus the wooden chest she had opened earlier. She was trying to figure out which one held what, but they all looked the same. She opened one, no that was from her office. Not what she wanted. She opened the next one and sighed happily and started digging for what she was looking for. Formal wear at 0600 what were these people thinking? Nothing like jumping into the deep end first thing. At least she was able to choose what to wear and not a dress uniform. She would NOT miss those things.
Revna

Mike watched her walk away and grinned. That was his wife! He took a breath and then pressed the comms and contacted Room Service. “Yeah, order for dinner, please? What kind of fish do you have?…Uh huh… Right. Ok two of those…Yeah… man that sounds amazing, definitely… That come with bread?… Perfect… yes please… no thanks… yes. A bottle of champagne. Do you have Drist’hg from Bajor? Great. Two glasses, please. Thanks.” and he closed the comms.

He walked to the doorway and leaned against the frame and said “Hey… dinner in about thirty minutes. Find what you are looking for?”

Mike

Revna turned around and looked at him leaning in the doorway. He was hers and he was here. “More like you found me.” She had two long dress looking pieces on hangers and was brushing the folds out of them. “But if you are talking about the clothes, I did. Or at least as formal as it’s going to get for the moment. It’s that or an evening gown. And I’m not wearing an evening gown for breakfast. Negates the point of the word ‘evening.’ A few embellishments and it will work. And if it doesn’t,” she shrugs. Can’t please everyone all the time. She grabbed a small tray and turned back towards him still smiling. Smiling all day, tomorrow, was not going to be a problem. She walked over to him and looked up at him. “In case I haven’t told you, you, Husband, are incredibly handsome.” She kissed him, again and after a moment pulled back with a grin. “And we get to do that whenever we want.” She smiled at him over her shoulder as she went and sat on the couch. She set the small tray down on the table and then, taking one braid down, she began to unweave it and remove the bead from it.
Revna

Mike sat next to her and said “Here. Let me.” and he began to undo the next braid. Slowly, meticulously… he loosened the hair and then slowly and gently unwove the hair and removed the bead. “The really good thing about you being married to a musician… especially a guitar player… is that we have really good fine motor skills.” He leaned forward and kissed the side of her neck and then whispered “Especially in our fingers.” and then he smiled and laughed softly as he went back to taking down her hair.

Mike

Revna never let anyone touch her hair. She just didn’t like it. Plus the last person, other than Runa, who messed with her braids got the beads stuck. Over the years she had resigned herself to people wanting to touch and look at them, people were really invasive of personal space, and quickly but firmly making them stop. She liked this though, the way his fingers worked deftly but gently through her hair. It was relaxing and intimate. She sighed as he kissed her neck and a shiver raced down her spine. She laughed with him. “Well in that case I might let you put them back in one day.” She took a cloth out from under the tray and began to polish the beads, just to give her hands something to do. “I can guess that Runa told you where to find me, but what about the bar?”
Revna, don’t touch my hair…oh never mind you can touch my hair

“Runa is watching it. And Grav is watching her. And she’s probably looking for your mead as we speak… but I moved it. Had to keep it safe for the wedding, right?” and he hugged her close and kissed the side of her neck again, this time adding a flick of his tongue before going back to her hair. “You know when I decided that we were getting married?”
