"Reeves, baby," Eioval swaggered into her office, full of his usual excitement as he found himself a perch on her desk. "I brought you lunch and some exciting gossip, care for either?"

Reeva blinked slowly- the typical 'Eioval readjustment' blink, and brushed tendrils of escaping hair from her eyes.
"Klah. I want Klah. Very, very strong Klah."

She's been up all night with a patient. Until he'd arrived, it hadn't really bothered her if it showed.

"And gossip. Klah and gossip will be great. Food is optional."

"You have to eat," Eioval said, rolling his eyes. Yet he poured her a cup of klah anyway, "So I've been running into our Weyrwoman. Did you know she's a total insomniac?"

Reeva lifted an eyebrow sardonically.

"Did you miss that I appear to be the Weyrwoman's favored healer at the moment, my love? Yes, I know."

"Hmm, well I bet you never caught her skinny-dipping in the middle of the night, did you?" Eioval shot back with a wicked grin.

The eyebrow climbed into her hairline.

"Indeed. And if you have, there may be... words..."

"Words?" Eioval squeaked, suddenly concerned. "I didn't peek!" Much, anyway.

She swapped raised eyebrows, but her generous grin was tugging at her mouth too.

"Now that's a lie and you know it. The Weyrwoman's a handsome woman and I'll believe you kept your eyes down like a demure maid when I believe thread will stop falling because we wish it would. You're a man, Eioval. You can admit it in my presence. I'm not so delicate a flower."

"In my defense, it was dark," Eioval muttered, looking very much like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Besides, I bet you've seen her naked plenty of times." Now that was a thought...

She chuckled.

"That I have, and you shall not be getting a comparison of notes from me either, you."

She swatted him lightly. She felt better then she had early, just from the infectiousness of the man's nature.

"D'awww," Eioval turned his pouty look on her. "Well, never mind then, I'll take my own notes, but then on an entirely different subject of study." And he dived her with a devious grin.

Reeva let herself be pinned with a chuckle, though it was an altogether more serious and slightly melancholy touch that she drew down his cheek contemplatively.
"I don't think study is on your mind, sweets"

She said it very softly and with a slight distraction.

"You have a very narrow window on what's studying." Eioval grinned. "I plan on doing a very immersive study, in fact."

"You may, alas, have to restrain your scholarly impulses. It's lunch and I'm on call, plus I have a ton of the Master Healer's reports to sort for him."

She bit back her own thoughts on being landed with admin not her own.

Then she pulled him in for the deepest kiss she thought they'd get away with under the circumstances.

Eioval had already started in his master-pout, but it was caught short by the kiss. Reveling in it, he tried to make it last for as long as he could and when he ended he sighed with satisfaction. "Well, this will last me the day at least. Shall I come over at the end of the day? Rub your tired shoulders?"

Reeva chuckled and whispered an alternate, altogether less relaxing suggestion in his ear. Then, with a soft sigh entirely at odds with the tone of her next words, she stepped back.

"That's if I don't drown in reports, of course. If so, feel free to move on with your life. Don't grieve for me. Send my body to my parents. Better yet my brother. That should make him choke on his wherry roast. Be sure to do something comical with my hair, let it have the field day it longs for.

She flopped back into her chair with a tiredness that was almost palpable- but couldn't resist giving him a swat on the hind end as she did.

"Let's doll you up like that sometime and just go visit him like that," Eioval winked, placing one last peck on her cheek before getting up. "I'll see you tonight, babe."
