"Maybe later," he replied.

Laurel nodded, pushing some hair out of his eyes and let her hand rest on his cheek again, "You really do have a lot of freckles." she noted as she surveyed them all, "It's a genetic enhancement, right?"

Nic shook his head.

Laurel's eyes widened in shock, "What?!" she demanded, "But you have so many? It has to be some sort of enhancement!" she retorted, poking his cheek.

Nic shook his head again.

Laurel shook her head a little in amazement, "I always knew you weren't normal but..." she continued to poke his cheek.

Surprisingly, Nic let her keep poking his cheek, but after awhile he moved his jaw around a little.

Laurel blinked before smirking, "Sorry." she replied as she stopped, "Now, can I kiss you before I get your coffee, sir?" she asked with a chuckle.

A small smirk almost began to appear on Nic's face. But before she could tell for sure, he leaned in and gave her a quick kiss first. "... Sure," he replied.

Laurel needed no further invitation as she kissed him softly and started to lean in.

Meanwhile Frei had taken a call during the movie and had seemed a bit upset as she settled back on Raven's lap. She stared at the screen but didn't seem to be watching it anymore.

Nic didn't let Laurel get too close. They both had work to do.

--

"... You want to do something else?" Raven asked after awhile.

Laurel pulled away after a bit, smirking at him, "Much better." she informed him before patting his cheek and getting up to make his coffee.

--

"Don't hate Wolfe." she suddenly spit out.

Raven was silent for a moment. "... Why would I do that?" he asked.

Frei was silent for a long time. Then she whispered quietly, "They stole a child."

Raven didn't say anything for a very long time. He was silent through the rest of the movie, not really watching it either.

"... they wanted the Okorie to back down." Frei explained when the movie ended.
