I think she could use someone smiley. It means she smiles more.

[And he thinks, overall, for someone like Davina who has the weight of New Orleans on her shoulders every day, someone who makes her smile is a good thing.]

[vampasm]

I think everyone benefits from a smiling Davina.

( The quarter, the witches, the other faction leaders. )

And they make a cute couple. Like us.

[packguy]

But not as cute as us.

[Aiden wants to make that distinction clear.]

They can have the silver medal.

[vampasm]

Who's cuter than us?

( Since he hasn't been joined in bed, he finally climbs out, stretching his limbs. )

[Sorry, they will have to save that for when they get home to their actual bed. Especially because both their phones vibrate with a text from Davina asking Breakfast?]

Are you hungry? Davina's asking about breakfast.

[vampasm]

I could eat.

( Fake eat. You get it. He studies his husband for a second. )

Maybe you can get some sleep after, on the plane. I'll give you the good dreams.

[packguy]

[He offers him a small smile before nodding.]

I'll take 'em.

[And with that, they will get dressed and head off to breakfast with the rest of the group.]
