The Gift
Cassie folded her arms and looked at the Doom's "gift" for her and Kristoff's wedding. She waited long enough to be sure Vincent had left before calling Kristoff. It was time to get this over with quickly before something happened. If it happened. If. It might be harmless.

...Yeah, right.

"Kristoff? Can you come up" She called over the comm system.

	Kristoff had been in the lab all day, running over the available data about the nanite issue, contacting those he was consulting, and reviewing their advice. They were definitely getting somewhere. "I will be there directly," he answered before closing things down and heading over to the Lang suite. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Great. Cassie pressed her hands together and put them over her face.

Hi Kristoff, your psychotic adopted father decided to send you something. Don't poke it, it might explode.

Hi Kristoff, your awful excuse for an adopted father sent you something and even though Vincent couldn't find anything wrong with it, it might explode.

Hi Kristoff, Doom decided to send us a present. Can we shoot it into space?

	"Is everything all right?" Kristoff asked as he arrived at the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not exactly. There's no easy way to say this." Cassie motioned to the deerskin pouch. "Doom sent this. Vincent said he ran every scan he could on it and nothing came up." Note how she still wasn't touching it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kristoff just blinks for a moment. It was nearly twelve years since Doom had sent him anything. Well, willingly, anyway.

After a moment, he says "I realize I was occupied with something much more important, but I am not at the point where I could not have been interrupted to assist with most of the appropriate tests," he says almost conversationally as he steps over to pick it up.

	"Are you sure you want to touch that?" Paranoid? Yes, but with good reason. "Vincent only brought it by just now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kristoff stops. "An understandable concern, of course, though I...believe it would take a great deal of motivation for Doom to resort to hitherto-undetectable subterfuge." More than anything to do with Kristoff could possibly warrant, he suspects. But, not intending to discount her concern, puts his hand in his coat and reassembles the gauntlet he'd just taken off on the way. "You certainly cannot expect me to leave it here -- oh." There's an odd look on his face as he realizes what it is.

	"Vincent said it was a traditional Romani engagement gift." From the look on his face she gathered that he was right. "If there isn't anything wrong with it... well I suppose I could give him the benefit of the doubt but he doesn't deserve it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes," he says quietly. "Coins. Very traditional." "I do not think there is anything wrong with them. But I assure you, I will keep it somewhere safe and secure, Cassandra." He makes no arguments about is or is not deserved. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassie folded her arms. "And out of sight." She said firmly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff, after a second, nods. "I would never wish to make you uncomfortable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	staturity 2009-10-09 05:30 am UTC (link)
	"Good because the moment it's locked away I want us all to just forget about it." Got that, Kristoff? Don't make her angry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will never speak of it again," he tells his recovering gutshot/nuerologically altered fiancee calmly. The last thing she needs is more stress. Promising to forget would be absurd as well as dishonorable. One should never promise what one cannot do. "Later we can talk of more important matters. Stark has been very helpful."

	"You can talk to me about it if it really gets to you. I just don't want you to dwell on it like..." Like you always do goes unsaid. "I assume this is about the nanites?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	An acknowledging nod. "I will do my best not to, my love." "Yes. At this rate, we can likely deal with them completely soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassie sighed. "Oh thank God. If I have to have another dream I'll-" Oops. She said too much and so leaned in to kiss his cheek as a distraction. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2009-10-09 06:16 am UTC (link)
	Kristoff blinks. Dreams? ...Kang-manipulated dreams? While he appreciates the kiss, his expression clearly indicates that it hasn't been sufficiently distracting. Calm, Kristoff. "Of course. We can go over some of the things that will be necessary later this evening. Right now, I will attend to this." And he will. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff nods once more. "We all of us have our sensitive subjects. I will make sure he is all right the next chance I get." And he kisses her cheek and goes to see to things. (Reply to this)(Parent)
