[Jester does hurry back, toting a bottle of red wine for herself, a bottle of tequila for Beau, and a coffee mug full of ice cream with a spoon sticking out. Grinning, she climbs back into the hot tub.]
Here's your nasty worm juice, [she sing-songs as she holds the bottle of tequila out for Beau to take.]
[Jester pulls a face, pulling the cork out of her wine bottle and taking a swig before Beau manages to grab her face and pull her in for a forehead smooch. She feels her cheeks grow warm at how handsy Beau is being.]
I see, I just have to bring you alcohol to earn your love, huh?
[Jester's head rears back in surprise, her cheeks definitely coloring by now. Is Beau being serious? More importantly, if Beau is being serious, how does Jester even feel about it?]
[Caught off-guard by the gesture, she feels her breath catch in her throat for a second. She'd be lying if she said she'd never thought about it, and Beau is right here...]
...We could try that. And if it's super weird or whatever, no harm no foul?
[Jester laughs a little, a vague note of nerves behind it, but she doesn't have to be nervous for very long, at least. Beau is closing in on her, their lips meeting, and Jester lets her eyes flutter closed as she lets her head tilt. Beau's lips feel just how she might have imagined a few times, warm and full and ripe with the flavor of tequila. It's not half bad.]
[encouraged by the fact that Jester doesn't immediately pull away and run, she deepens the kiss a little, one hand still cupping the side of her face, the other one getting bold and finding its way to Jester's side. She's all soft and warm, no sharp edges, and she tastes sweet in a way that makes Beau feel a little breathless, so all too soon she has to pull away, searching Jester's face.]

I missed you too, Jessie.
[a beat of silence]
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
no subject
[She rubs at Beau's shoulder carefully, like she's soothing a skittish horse.]
What's important is, you know, we're safe! And she's safe, and so is Veth and everyone else at home. So really it's just a matter of time!
no subject
[she offers Jester what she hopes is a passably nice smile]
and we can't do anything about it in the meantime, so there's no point in worrying or being sad, right?
no subject
[Jester grins, crossing her eyes, anything to try and make Beau laugh.]
Who's worried? Worrying sucks and I'm sick of it!
no subject
yeah!! not me! I'm not worried about shit except maybe that you drank all my drink!
no subject
[She rolls her eyes.] Besides, if I'd done that I'd be drunk. And I'm definitely only tipsy.
no subject
[she peers curiously at Jester]

[She pulls away and hauls herself out of the water and over the side of the hot tub, reaching for her towel and wrapping it around her.]
I'll be right back. Anything else you need? You know what, I'm going to bring ice cream, too.
no subject
Nope. Just hurry back.
[if Beau is blatantly staring at her ass, that is Beau's business.]
