I'll find some way to make it worth your while. [Mouth shut optional? He's already workshopping it.

Mm, but this is a pleasant upswing to a mood that was already good, so - no one would blame either of them for getting cozy instead of learning the art of the mug cake. Who knew that all it took to make Viktor relax enough to take off work for a day was housing development. Ha.

Palamedes laughs, anyway - oh, is taking breaks what they'll be doing, fascinating - and makes an exaggerated face like he really has to think about it.]

I don't know; we might fall behind schedule. I'm kidding, obviously, I'd love to take the day off just for our sake. Frankly, we're owed this.

[Remina, personally, owes them this. He wiggles his fingers where they rest under Viktor's shirt, leaning in to press a kiss wherever he happens to land, and then another, and lo: another one after that. What's a mug cake, he's never heard of it...]

Viktor, you... [Hm, what hasn't he said a handful of times just today already, that properly conveys his feelings? For a moment he simply looks at him like this, admiration and adoration spilling over into an unadulterated contentedness, so, ah- there's that, to cover his bases.] Well, you know how I feel. You're amazing, for starters, and I'll save the rest for tomorrow.
