Texo: Latin. Verb. 1. construct with elaborate care 2. plait (together) 3. weave, braid _________________________ The sun was retreating behind the horizon and she silently nodded to herself- it hadn't taken them TOO long to get back. She doubted anyone was worried- she had planned for a couple days. Lorna remembered as they pulled into the driveway at the house that evening that it was Halloween. Or at least, she thought it was? It was close either way. "Hey, it's Halloween," she said as she turned the car off. "Too bad we didn't find any candy or anything at that last stop." She said this jokingly, but it didn't matter too much. They'd stopped at one more house on the way thinking there might be something inside, but Lorna hadn't found much.

"Oh shit, really?!" Rick beamed, with what might have looked like child-like excitement if it wasn't for his ragged beard, tattoos, and everything else. "Why didn't ya warn me ahead'a time? I would'a dressed up!"
He walked past her, casually touching the small of her back absent-mindedly as he went, whistling tuneless the whole way towards the house. He stretched his arms behind his head at the door, waiting for Lorna as he thought about what he could hastily do at what was basically the last minutes of the day.
"Mebbe I could carve somethin'..." He pondered aloud, eyes closed in thought.

Lorna raised a solitary eyebrow at him as she put a key in the lock. Before she finished unlocking the other two of the six locks she knew to be in tact, she sighed and turned to Rick. Surely inside they had heard them, and she could only assume they'd be coming to greet them or ask if the mission was a success soon.
"I'll be straight with you, Rick," she said, ignoring his aloud thought. "I... like you. I guess. But what happened is to stay between us." She pulled the key out of the lock and found the second.
"Just for now. Until I... figure anything out." She flicked her braid aimlessly, directing her gaze to the ground. "Please?"

Rick froze, arms half-lowered from their previously raised position at what Lorna had just admitted - semi-admitted? Whatever, it counted - and wondering if he had taken a blow to the head and his hearing was off or what. He was tempted, very, very tempted, to ask her to repeat herself, but seeing her tone of voice and how she was already unlocking the other locks and dammit, Lorna, couldn't you have said this back at the car, and I would've... probably done something stupid like steal a kiss and then you could give me a black eye and no one would be any the wiser???
He grunted in reponse, unable to reduce how widened his eyes were for the time being as he slowly lowered his arms and tried to act like he was totally okay with this revelation.
"Yeah, 'course, ya can count on me." He rambled, still sounding a bit too excited. "I mean, if ya want to, it's not mandatory."
He shut his mouth as she finished up with the locks, rubbing the back of his neck. Shit, what was he supposed to do with that kind of information? Couldn't she have left him to assume she merely put up with his behavior and continue about their merry way, until she was as gungho to act physically irresponsibly with him as he was with her? (Okay, that wasn't entirely accurate. But heavy petting would definitely be involved, at least.)

Lorna, who thankfully couldn't hear Rick's inner monologue, considered his response gentlemanly. Or at least... decent in its own right. She considered for half a second as she inserted the final key into the final lock- what she was considering was a mystery until she stood on her toes long enough to plant a quick kiss on Rick's cheek. "Thank you," she said as she opened the door-- and what the hell had happened here. ((We probably need some more time on the boot camp one before responding to this much so just do whatever! this can wait! though I imagine Rick probably has a reply haha hafdklsajds))
