"Spite," she answered impishly to his remark about her resistance to cold. Yes, a part of her was cold and if she had to stay out there longer than an hour, there would be a problem, but she didn't intend to stay that long and she certainly wasn't going to let Orgailian know that she had a limit. Mystery and all that.
She didn't make any snarky comments as they walked towards the pens, though she did fall a step behind to enjoy the um...view...as they walked. He reeked though so unless he got those clothes off and got a shower first, she wasn't going to be making any overtures. Qori didn't mind getting messy -- she minded certain types of it though. And mud mixed with whatever Gail was hauling wasn't it.
He plopped down and made grabby hands for the drink. She lifted an eyebrow and he said, "Please," which made her laugh. She handed him one of the mugs and then sat down next to him, one leg extended, the other propped up so she could rest her elbow on it. At his comment on how hot chocolate was currently outranking sex, she laughed again. "That's some high praise," she replied. She took her own sip. "But not off by too much," she added. "It is pretty damn good stuff. Especially given the weather." He was definitely right in his assessment, though Qori would probably still have ranked sex higher.
They enjoyed a few sips in silence before Qori asked, "Okay, so I've heard everyone else's side of the story but yours. How the fuck did you end up in this mess this time?"
