Royal chuckled. “Opportunity and luck?” he said with a smile. “I mean, I don’t get leave all that often.

She gave this full consideration but it was hard to wrap her mind around. “I’m trying to imagine something similar for myself, but on a colony, especially outside the Federation core, resources are quite often limited, so it would seem wasteful to have a home go unused so much.” Cori held up a hand. “That’s not a criticism, by the way, just a practicality of being raised where I was. My brain I guess is used to restrictions of all kinds,” she said with a smirk.

He smiled and then set the cup down and stood up, walked over to her, bent down and kissed her. He held the kiss for a few moments and then stood and went back and sat down. He looked at her as he picked up his tea and smiled. “Just a reminder to your brain that the rules have changed.” and he took a sip.

Her heart was thudding in her chest and her lips still tingled with his warmth. Cori was nothing short of stunned and it took her a moment before the rest of her brain caught up.

She smiled. “Good reminder,” Cori said. “What were we talking about?” Her vivid blue eyes were alight.

“Homes.” Royal said with a smile. “And how it might be nice to have a place to call that, if you can.” He took a sip of his tea. “Besides… you’re going to need a place to put your stuff… right?”
