Her laughter warmed him. He realised then that it had been a long time since he'd shared laughter. Far too long. He tried to remember it and he couldn't. He was sure it was before everything changed, back in the Hub in an easier time. A time he took so readily for granted. He wished now that he'd held onto it tighter.

"So what if I did?" he asked, his grin wide and pleased.

He stepped closer, closing the distance she'd put in between them and he wiggled his fingers faux-menacingly in her direction.

"I'm a delicate innocent little thing," he said with a tone and a grin that said anything but, "you took advantage of me. You naughty, naughty woman, you."

He laughed again, and caught her again at the waist, pinching his fingers in the spot that seemed to cause such reaction before.

"I think it's only fair I get my revenge."
