Ix tried not to look too pleased with himself when Nova complimented his appearance, and failed. "You look better," he said anyway. "I like the flowers. They're pretty." That sounded unbearably inane. "Like you." No, that was worse. This was unsalvageable. Then again, if she'd wanted to date someone articulate and suave, she wouldn't have been there.
He was pleased by her apparent excitement over the coffee. They were supposed to have very good coffee, even when it wasn't full of flavored sugar syrups. "I got something delicious," he said, attempting not to rise to the bait. "And strong," he added, failing. "A strong, tough-guy drink. With extra whipped cream." He sipped at it again, hiding his expression behind the cup.
His eyes widened, and suddenly he set the cup back down, stepping over Onion to hastily circle the kitchen island. "Shit," he said, grabbing oven mitts from a drawer, "shit shit shit shit shit." He had forgotten about the quiche. How long had the quiche been in the oven? He couldn't remember when he'd put the quiche in the oven. "Shit." He opened the door to the oven, and sighed in relief as he turned it off and retrieved their unburnt meal. "Not shit," he amended, just to clarify the situation.
"So," he said, removing the oven mitts to return to her side. "We have coffee." He set his hands on his hips to kiss her right shoulder. "We have breakfast." He kissed her left shoulder to even it out. "We have a very fat, somewhat suspicious animal that we have been told is a dog." Onion, recognizing the word 'dog', gave an excited honk of a bark, tail wagging. "We have us," he said, pressing a brief kiss to her mouth. "The colony is our bivalve mollusk." If he was aware that this was not the proper idiom, his pokerface did not betray him.
"What do you want to do next?"
