delicious bubbly

[her_imperial_radiance]

Elspeth is glad that Milliways likes her, because she likes it. Jacob at her side and a glass of this nice golden stuff in her hand (she's tried the other synthetics; they're nice for an occasional change, but only humans care about dietary variety that much and this one is her favorite) and hubbub from a hundred worlds around her: lovely. A lovely break from work that keeps no one waiting, that doesn't even throw off her sleep cycle because her sleep cycle cares about the sun. (It throws off Jake's, a little, but his is more flexible than hers.)

It's even better the second time around. When the Joker observes that the line of pentagons and hexes on his coin-chain is punctuated by two stars, he is not all that surprised.

"I think we should have sex," he declares.

He doesn't have to tell Nathan this twice.

There is non-negligible clothing damage en route.

As much as he loved that nightie, he can always make another one.



An unlooked-for benefit of that double-stacked regeneration power: he doesn't get tired nearly as fast as he's used to. In fact, he just... keeps... bouncing... back.

Nathan could have continuous sex for weeks before the need to break for a meal intruded, so he's not in the least a bad person to find this out with.
