Tal kept working until he realized that Koa had pulled up a chair. And, really, the place was looking green and festive enough that once he hung the last couple of swags of garland they could call it done. He stood back to look around at the common room in satisfaction but Koa's verdict on his romance brought renewed heat to his ears and neck. The courier ducked his head and flashed his friend a wrinkle-nosed grin of mixed gratitude and uncertainty.
He wasn't sure how he felt about being called adorable. Pip and Sasha were adorable. Boreal was adorable when she wanted something she couldn't bully out of him. But him? "Um... thanks. Hey, can I get y'anythin' t'drink?" Making his retreat way the short distance to the open kitchen he listened over his shoulder as he put the kettle on. The other man's question had him tilting his head, like a dog presented with a math problem.
"Celebrate? Uh... should I be doin' somethin' in particular?" Because while Alys wasn't Tal's first partner she was his first relationship and boy, did he need some help with the basic expectations.
