The First Commission (Open, tagging Verity)

[juststeverogers]

Steve has had some time to adjust to his new life in the Nexus. His suit he arrived in is hanging neatly on the front door to his hotel room, which sways when he pulls the door open to welcome his first official guest to his temporary home.

Aside from the art supplies taking up the large workdesk (covered in newspaper, he's careful not to mess up the nice furniture in this place) the room is rather well kept.

"Come on in, I've got it all ready to go."

She's up as soon as the glass is empty and takes it for a refill. "Yeah, but in a morning or two, you'll wake up feeling better than when you went to bed. And until then, you've got all the prettiest ladies around taking care of you. That's not so bad."

When she hands him the refilled glass back, it's with an expectant look. And then she's feeling his forehead. "How's your stomach?"

"Gosh, I better stay sick forever if that's what it takes to catch a dame's eye." Steve gives a shake of his head but accepts the glass and obediently gets to sipping at the water.

"Okay. Helps that I've stopped shaking so bad."

"That's the spirit." The teasing is delivered with a smirk, and she brushes his hair out of his face to further soften any rough edges on her humor. "Do you want to try eating?"

[juststeverogers]

He gives Verity a small smile. He knows she's trying to help, and her motherly nature is really nice.

"I kinda want to try another of those delicious muffins you made for me. And...you know. Thanks for sticking around. Ya really didn't have to trouble yourself, but....I'm glad for the company."

Soooo Harrowheart kind of wants to set these two up now...

[brave_heart_verity]

If anyone ever called her 'motherly' she'd laugh and tell them they're being dumb. No, she doesn't get it.

"Sure thing." She'll get him a muffin and a napkin. No need for him to get up just yet. "It's no trouble. All I did was sit here and read. Pretty much the same thing I would have been doing at home."

Harrowheart is the Ultimate Shipper

"But all the cute things are at your house aren't they?" He means the Chau. Not Naugus. Steve still hasn't formally met Racist Grandpa, but cute is not a word to describe the magi.

"Instead of me being all grumbly and sick. What if you catch it?"

He's going to have a bad time with that.

[brave_heart_verity]

No, Grandpa Naugus is not cute, and the only one who might get away with calling him that is Ver. And she knows better than to say it out loud, in public, without a good reason.

"The chao? They live in the garden out back. And I'll be fine, I've already had the treatment Samus gave you. I'm so healthy, I actually make horses jealous."
