Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 17-Dec-20 01:35 AM

*Tim, wearing a trench coat, arrived with Katie. It was a little colder than he'd expected, but he was accustomed to adapting.* "It's so... nice in the snow..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 17-Dec-20 10:00 AM

*She was wearing a coat and a hat, shivering slightly.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 17-Dec-20 02:03 PM

"You alright?" *He approached her and wrapped a scarf around her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 18-Dec-20 07:57 AM

“It’s... cold...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 18-Dec-20 03:30 PM

"Very much- thank you for suggesting I take some warmer clothes."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 18-Dec-20 03:51 PM

“I thought you didn’t listen?”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 18-Dec-20 03:52 PM

"I reconsidered." *As he stepped, the snow crunched under his feet.* "...I can see why you'd want to come- both for the historical significance *and* the view!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 12:58 AM

”I love coming here...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:06 AM

"I can imagine." *He reached to hold her hand.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:12 AM

“Usually it’s warmer through...”

"Do you just wanna find like a small hotel or something..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:20 AM

"I'm good with anything." *He crouched down and took a handful of snow.* "To think, this was once a battlefield..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:25 AM

"I kind of... just want to cuddle up in bed... with a fireplace, and just... be together.\*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:26 AM

*His eyes popped up as he smiled.* "If you'd like- who am I to argue?" *He chuckled as he wiped the snow off his hands.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:28 AM

*While he had his back turned, she quickly made a snowball, and threw it, nailing him in the back.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:30 AM

"Ah!" *He wiped some of the snow off, brushing at his back.* "...unexpected- I'm not used to snow..." *He picked up a handful and smashed it together, looking like a tortoise shell.* "...is that how it's done?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:38 AM

"How can you handle the cold then? Uh, also, it's a ball, not that."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:39 AM

"Oh, I see." *He tossed the shape of snow onto the ground.* "I don't know how I handle cold- adaptation, maybe? I'm no scientist so I can't be sure." *He picked up another clump of snow and tried again.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:44 AM

"Whatever, lets find a place we can cuddle at, alone..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:46 AM

*He frowned a bit- the clump of snow he was working on was more of an octahedron than a ball. He dropped it and stood, letting out a sigh.* "Maybe *someday* I'll be able to make one." *Tim turned to Katie.* "Of course! Are there any nearby places you can think of?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:48 AM

"There's some good places to stay at in town."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:49 AM

"Ah! Well, then, you lead the way!" *He took the fedora off his head and placed it on hers.* "...this hat signifies both leadership *and* a warm head."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:50 AM

*She was already wearing a winter cap.* "No, you take it, so you don't catch cold."

*She led him back through the streets of sharpsburg, leading Timmy to a small hotel.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 01:52 AM

*Tim followed closely behind, still in amazement at the historic place he was in.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 02:53 AM

*She chatted with a hotel clerk, who seemed to recognize her, and then turned back to Tim.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 02:54 AM

"It's all... *very* fascinating: this town, the history here. I've never been to this part of the continent before." *He removed his scarf and gloves.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 01:19 PM

"I love this town."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 03:05 PM

"I can see why."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 04:00 PM

“I used to come here a lot...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 04:00 PM

"Did you? It's a very nice place."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 04:56 PM

"I used to go to Fort Point at San Francisco, below the Presidio, at the academy."

"It's so pretty there, sometimes..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 05:16 PM

"So I've heard." *He took his hat off.* "Most of my time was spent on the West Coast- California, born and raised. I went to New York once, with my mom."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 06:11 PM

"I used to visit the Presidio a lot..."

"Especially during my time at the academy."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 06:19 PM

"I was mostly... caught up in studies."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 06:36 PM

"I didn't really have many friends to do stuff with..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 06:39 PM

"Neither did I, to tell the truth. Everyone thought I was... unapproachable."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 06:49 PM

“They all thought I was weird.”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 07:16 PM

"Well, I can't imagine why."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 08:15 PM

“What do you mean?”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 08:21 PM

"I don't see a reason why people would think you were weird. That's just my opinion, though." *He shrugged.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 09:29 PM

"I think I'm weird.:

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 09:40 PM

"I think you're unique."

"After all, if we were all normal, there wouldn't be much to tell us apart..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 19-Dec-20 10:41 PM

“Obviously.”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 19-Dec-20 11:11 PM

"Well, then sometimes it's good to be weird."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 12:05 AM

“I guess.”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 12:06 AM

"Any specific room you had in mind?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 12:11 AM

“I got us the room I usually stayed at when I came alone.”

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 12:21 AM

@Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 12:26 AM

"Sure! Lead the way."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 12:30 AM

*She led him to the room. It was rather small.* “I guess I overestimated the size...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 12:37 AM

"That's alright! It's still a nice room." *He removed his coat and hung it next to his hat.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 11:48 AM

*She nodded.* "Sharpsburg is just a pretty town."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 01:00 PM

"Very much so."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 03:13 PM

“Hmm..”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 03:19 PM

"What's on your mind?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 05:26 PM

"I feel so lonely, I mean, I haven't seen any of my friends for a month..." (edited)

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 05:26 PM

"Oh... I'm sorry." *Tim sat down on the bed.* "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 06:03 PM

"I miss Pas..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 06:06 PM

"Oh, yeah..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 06:37 PM

"Do you think... you could message him, or something, I don't want to seem needy or anything...."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 06:37 PM

"I *could,* but I doubt it would mean much from me. He and I aren't exactly close friends, you know."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 06:59 PM

"Please..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 07:00 PM

"What do you want me to tell him?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 07:25 PM

"I don't know..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 07:25 PM

"Just that you miss him?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 07:50 PM

"I guess..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 07:51 PM

"I'll see if I can get a hold of him..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 20-Dec-20 09:32 PM

“Please do, I just really miss him.”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 20-Dec-20 09:53 PM

"Sure."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Dec-20 04:04 PM

“Thank you, sweety.”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 21-Dec-20 10:10 PM

"I'll try to get him on comms."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Dec-20 10:58 PM

*She hugged Tim, grateful.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 21-Dec-20 11:16 PM

*He hugged back, smiling.* "Glad I can help."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 21-Dec-20 11:25 PM

"So... did you message him?" (edited)

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 21-Dec-20 11:26 PM

"I have not. At this instant, anyway."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 21-Dec-20 11:50 PM

"And now I have."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Dec-20 01:46 AM

"Thank you..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 22-Dec-20 01:47 AM

"Of course- he said *you* could have contacted him." *He lay back, loosening his necktie.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 22-Dec-20 01:55 AM

"I told you, I don't want to seem needy... but if he's okay with it..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 22-Dec-20 01:55 AM

"I understand- nothing to worry about."

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 09:15 PM

*Pas beamed down to the town, at the place where Katie said to meet, looking around for her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 09:29 PM

*Katie watched through the window, and saw Pas. She went outside of the small motel and went to hug him.* “Pas!”

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 09:31 PM

"Hey Katie!" *He grinned, hugging her back, lifting her off her feet.* "How are ya?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 09:32 PM

“I’m good, I suppose.” *She smiled, holding him tight.*

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 09:33 PM

"Just supposing?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 09:38 PM

“I guess it’s been good for how I’ve done it, I mean, nothing really exciting or fun happened, it was just kind of lonely.”

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 09:53 PM

"Aw, what about Tim?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 09:56 PM

“Based on some stuff I said back before shore leave, he thought I wanted to take a break, and I thought he wanted a break instead, so we really sillily spent most of shore leave apart, we only saw eachother again a few days ago.” (edited)

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 10:16 PM

"Oh, are you guys doin okay now? I can still maim him if you need me to." *He gave her a bug eyed look, grinning.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 10:18 PM

"What do you mean, 'now'?"

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 10:21 PM

"Now that you're back with an understanding." (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 10:26 PM

"Oh, sorry, yes, we're doing amazing now, please don't hurt him."

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 10:30 PM

"Hmm, he is safe then. For now." *He chuckled.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 10:31 PM

"Huh?" *She looked at him, slightly panicked, as usual.*

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 10:32 PM

"You need to untangle your ball of nerves, girl, I'm kidding."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 10:34 PM

"Oh, sorry, my bad, I thought... nevermind, sorry."

LearnedAx 23-Dec-20 10:36 PM

"Hey, don't apologize, it's okay."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 10:37 PM

"Oh, sorr- dammit! I'm just really used to apologizing."

Starwheat 23-Dec-20 10:57 PM

[Pas] "Yeah, that's probably not a good thing, but I'm not a counselor."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 23-Dec-20 10:59 PM

"I don't think its that bad..."

Starwheat 23-Dec-20 11:10 PM

[Pas] "I mean, it's a little concerning, you should probably set up an appointment."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 12:34 AM

"How is it concerning?" (edited)

Starwheat 24-Dec-20 01:03 AM

[Pas] "Extreme anxiety is probably a sign of bad stuff, I'm not a counselor."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 01:17 AM

“Who said I have extreme anxiety?”

Starwheat 24-Dec-20 01:19 AM

[Pas] "Your extremely anxious behavior." (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 01:25 AM

“I’m don’t really think of myself as anxious.”

Starwheat 24-Dec-20 12:40 PM

[Pas] "Well, you are, that's what all the apologizing is."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 12:47 PM

"Whatever, sorr- I'll make an appointment, whatever, do you want to go to the christmas party for the crew now?"

Starwheat 24-Dec-20 12:52 PM

[Pas] "Sure, I've just got an outfit to change. Meet you there?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 12:53 PM

"I will! It was amazing seeing you again, I really missed you."

Starwheat 24-Dec-20 12:54 PM

[Pas] "Missed you too, *Kinky Katie.*" *He grinned.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 01:02 PM

*Her face reddened, but she smiled back.* "I missed you the most, Nasty Nix."

Starwheat 24-Dec-20 01:04 PM

[Pas] "See ya there, a nut." *He gave a two fingered salute and beamed back up to the Odyssey.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 01:14 PM

"See you, Pas..." *She said as he neamed out.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 04:54 PM

*Katie headed back inside, to see @Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 04:56 PM

*Tim was sitting on the bed, continuing to read The Great Gatsby- a physical copy, of course. Green cover and all.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 04:59 PM

"I saw Pas."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 04:59 PM

"Oh, good! How is he?" *He set his book down and smiled.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:02 PM

"He's good, he had to go, but he said he'd see me at the christmas ball."

"Can, uh, we go now, I mean, if you want to..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:05 PM

"O-oh! If you want- I didn't know there *was* a ball... But! The best kinds of prizes are *sur*prizes! Any specific dress code? I suspect showing up dressed as a 1960's academic is out of the question..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:11 PM

"I think its Victorian."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:12 PM

"Oh, good! I have a couple costumes- wait, I... probably shouldn't wear the dress, huh...?" *He laughed and stood up.* "...frock coat and top hat it is, then."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:18 PM

"I don't know what to wear..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:20 PM

"...I'm somewhat experienced in costuming- I can help, if you'd like."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:20 PM

"Please do, I'm so bad at dressing for formal stuff, sorry..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:21 PM

"That's okay! I like formal stuff."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:33 PM

"Okay!"

@Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:34 PM

"Schal or hood? Oh! I know- a small cape *with* a hood!" *He happily took his PADD and began designing for her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:43 PM

"I don't really feel like I need a hood on a shawl.."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:43 PM

"It'd look cute, but okay. Any colors you'd prefer?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:45 PM

"Green, I suppose."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:46 PM

"Mkay... any kinda shoes you'd like?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:46 PM

"I'm not really good with shoes, uh, to tell you the truth, I just always wear my uniform boots everywhere." *She gestured to her feet.* (edited)

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:47 PM

"Ah, I see. Normally I wear Oxfords when out of uniform, but you know, I normally dress... differently than most people."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:51 PM

"Oh ok."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:51 PM

"It's coming along well- I'm gonna give you a knee-high skirt, if that's okay with you."

"If not, I can change it.:

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:53 PM

"Knee high is fine."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:54 PM

"Uh-huh... stockings?" *He continued to design as he asked.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:55 PM

"Stockings, yes."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 05:58 PM

"Alright! Tell me what you think so far..." *He handed her the PADD- there was a short cape that covered the upper body, which, of course, was green, with a black clasp. A white button-down shirt, skirt that went up to the stomach but down to the knees, with suspenders, white stockings, and Mary Janes with an elevated heel.* "Any adjustments I should make?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 05:59 PM

"Feels cold with just a white button down..."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:00 PM

"That's partially what the cape was for; I could add a jacket?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:00 PM

"Okay." (edited)

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:01 PM

"Okay- nothing too extravagant, haha..." *He added a matching jacket, which didn't clash too much with the outfit.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:02 PM

"That looks cute."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:02 PM

"So, to the replicator then?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:03 PM

*She went over to a replicator.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:03 PM

"I'm gonna just... re use an old design. From *My Fair Lady,* but it should work."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:04 PM

"Okay."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:06 PM

"Hope it's an alright design for you- I haven't designed a costume in... forever."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:07 PM

"Nonononono, I love it, it's really cute."

*She undressed, and then put the new outfit on.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:08 PM

*Tim was more than a bit surprised and smiled at her when he saw her.* "You look... great! The outfit really matches you."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:14 PM

"Thanks!" *She blushed.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:16 PM

"Of course! I should probably change into mine- hope you're alright with a top hat, haha..." *He stood and removed his necktie, then began to fully undress before changing into his outfit: a black wool frock coat, paisley vest, red silk bow tie, black pants with a single red stripe on each leg, black leather Oxfords, and spats on top of them. He smiled as he returned, holding a top hat at his side.* "Top hat? Yes or no?" (edited)

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:21 PM

"If you want to."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:22 PM

"I can go either way..." *He thought for a moment, then placed it on his head* "Yep! Gonna wear it!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:25 PM

"Ready to go?"]

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 24-Dec-20 06:26 PM

"Of course!"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 24-Dec-20 06:30 PM

*The two got themselves beamed to london.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 12:54 AM

*They beamed back.*

"I needa get Pas's gift..." *She mumbled.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 12:55 AM

"Oh, alright- you sure you're good to walk, though? You drank a lot..." *He helped her step towards their hotel.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 12:58 AM

*She took two steps, and promptly tripped over her own feet.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 12:59 AM

*Tim knelt down, then helped her sit on the bed.* "You might wanna take a few minutes... or hours, to catch your breath."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:00 AM

"Noooo, I wanna go...." *She said, sounding a little whiny in her drunkenness.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 01:01 AM

"You won't make it out the door, let alone to a transporter..." *He chuckled as he removed his coat and sat in a nearby chair.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:07 AM

*She got up, and began her trek for the door again, this time tripping on a chair leg,*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 01:08 AM

*Tim did his best to catch her, by the arm, and sat her back down.* "You're not used to the shoes, and I'm guessing the alcohol isn't helping much, either..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:27 AM

“I have worn heels before...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 01:35 AM

"Not while drunk, have you...?" *He untied his bow tie and began to undress.* "I'm sure the sensation is *significantly* different..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:36 AM

*She rolled around on the bed, and eventually rolled right onto the floor.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 01:36 AM

*Tim looked down at her, still removing his over shirt, then picked her up and lay her back down.* "I'm sure Pas will understand."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:42 AM

“I want to get him his gift...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 01:43 AM

*Tim sighed, then sat down next to her.* "...if I get you a glass of water, and you keep drinking, do you think you could wait an hour to sober up a bit?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:45 AM

“Fine....” *She relented, still sounding a little whiny.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 01:46 AM

"Thank you." *He laughed a little as he brought her a tall glass of water.* "...I love you." *He smiled and handed it to her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:54 AM

“I love you too...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 01:55 AM

*Tim sat back in his chair and smiled.* "...is there anything I can do to help, while you sober up?"

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 01:59 AM

“Another beer...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 02:01 AM

*Tim approached her and brushed her hair back.* "...you sure? Even *if* it was with the intent of maintaining your *'buzz,'* the alcohol content is considerably less than what you were drinking earlier..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 02:03 AM

“I’m kidding...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 02:06 AM

"I know- so was I." *He sat down next to her.* "...I probably wouldn't get you another alcohol, haha..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 02:12 AM

“I just wanna cuddle...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 02:12 AM

*He laid next to her, then put his arms around her.* "...I can do that, if you'd like..."

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 02:27 AM

“Yes, cuddle with me, baby...”

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Dec-20 02:28 AM

"...of course." *He leaned in and kissed her.*

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee 28-Dec-20 02:39 AM
