Valerie Bell is uncharacteristically pensive.

Possibly this is because she just lugged a woman with a bullet wound in her stomach all the way here from God only knows where.

Possibly not.

Either way, she's staring at a plateful of cookies with considerably more rapt attention than a plateful of cookies strictly warrants.

Marley's grin is appropriately apologetic.

The next obvious step in the language of smiles is, of course, for Val to offer a grin that says 'quit sitting there like a smug idiot and kiss me already'.

Because she likes thwarting convention, she skips right past that and kisses him instead.

Hey, Marley's not exactly complaining.

[selflesslight.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeexcellent.



Eventually, there are happy little noises.



(Eventually is not, in this case, a very long time at all.)

Yayhappynoises.

Marley is appreciative!

[selflesslight.livejournal.com]

Val is appreciative of his appreciation.

Also, she is determined to elicit some happy noises of her own.

Does Marley like earlobe-nibbles? Inquiring minds want to know!

[just-marley.livejournal.com]

Studies say that he does!

Also, happynoises.

Success! Valerie is pleased.

Good things happen when Valerie is pleased.

[just-marley.livejournal.com]

Marley is discovering this, yes.

In detail and at length, if Val has any say in the matter - and she does.
