[rocinantes]

You would do that?

( not very nice. so, fine —

he doesn't waste anytime and steps closer, reaching for her face and bringing her closer for another kiss. )

[explosion]

[ she wouldn't, but perhaps she wanted a second kiss... just for good luck. it feels so nice to be close to someone again. and while wanda suspects amos wouldn't do it unless he truly wanted to, she tentatively curls her hand around his bicep before allowing herself to touch him and respond.

it's all in the name of data, of course. not that wanda has ever had any desire to be a scientist in her life. ]

[rocinantes]

( oh yeah, it's all scientific. even if it does feel very nice and he's enjoying himself. he likes it even more that she seems to be enjoying herself as well, pulling closer and returning the kiss. )

[explosion]

[ maybe she should stop this. amos is one of her only friends in the trench, and wanda has never liked losing anyone, even to silly arguments that both parties forget about a week later. but wanda is a little tired of being afraid to take risks. not everyone will die, even if that's how the trajectory of others has panned out.

and amos seems to like it. she doesn't need to read his mind to confirm that.

she's gentle to touch his cheek; his beard is unusual to touch, but she likes it. ]

[rocinantes]

( this seems to be turning into something...a little more than a new year's eve kiss. he's trying not to think about that but it's hard not to when she's still kissing him and he feels the barest hint of a touch on his cheek.

he doesn't let her go, doesn't stop, still holding her and kissing her, not wanting this to end just yet. )

[explosion]

[ she murmurs against his mouth, ] A little more like a one now.

[ which is a great improvement from zero, but surely amos can at least get a two. she wants to hold onto that as a reason for this, just in case not doing so means that this changes things for the worst. wanda has so little outside of the trench; what she's managed to gather around her is something that she's fiercely protective of.

when it seems wanda's about to pull back from him, she simply removes her hand from his cheek to lightly press her fingertips beneath his chin instead, absently encouraging him to tilt his head upward a touch. ]

[rocinantes]

( what a harsh critic of kissing you are, wanda. he just huffs when she says it's a one and tips his head up at her urging. he doesn't lean in for a kiss again but he doesn't move away either, letting his eyes look over her face and waiting for her to do what she wants.

he licks his lips and raises his eyebrows as his gaze scrapes its way over her face. )

[explosion]

[ amos is... very, very close. she can see the flecks of gold in his eyes, something she never noticed before as she always kept her distance. she should step away now that it's a few minutes into the new year and the tradition has been met...

but she furrows her brows instead as she tilts her head slightly to the side as she feigns confusion. ]

Do you think that follows tradition?

[ there's only one answer to that. ]
