[MtM] May Prompt: TEN ways you say I love you, without saying the words.

[ooc: Cross-verse. Some of these, like #2 and #3, are even mashing up verses in the same one, so if your muse wants to rep, feel free just to pick what applies. This is really almost meta-crack at this point, but. *g*]

1. Not decimating the world's population. Admittedly, I tried to at first, but that was a bit before the words needed to be said anyway, and my continuous refraining from attempting such a feat again says rather a great deal.

2. Adopting cats. I am fond of them, actually, but apparently gifts of cats, going on field trips to get cats, and co-adopting them is something I'm getting fairly good at.

3. Not torturing their parents. I made the kills very quick, very clean. That says something considering what they put me through. [Eden!verse]: Except for Bob which, really, doesn't reflect on my fondness for Elle, but sometimes things just have to be done...right. I didn't make her watch?

4. [Eden!verse, only, and locked anyway] Keeping him by my side when it puts absolutely everything I've worked for at risk. Letting him get that close, letting him get inside the defenses...it's the stupidest thing I've ever done.[/locked]

5. Swearing up and down that of course New York pizza is far superior to Chicago's deep dish. Clearly. What is anyone who says anything differently thinking?

6. Letting him tie me up, even in play, after what he did before. Unlike some people, I cannot just phase out of restraints, and the last few times I was restrained were not...so pleasant.

7. Willingly allowing myself to be teleported anywhere by any of them. Can we say "that takes trust", boys and girls? Every time I feel the world shift, I am fairly certain my heart stops.

8. Living in Cardiff. It's in Wales. Wales. Like all good Londoners...well. This speaks for itself.

9. Shopping. Not that I'm adverse to it in principle or anything, but...shopping. For hours. Without alcohol and with a smile on my face.

10. Letting her go.

[WM] 35.A.G. -- Discussions of cows

"Can we please stop talking about the cow?" Adam closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, leaning back in the chair.

"It was..." Melissa attempted to start again, leaning forward from where she was sitting on the sofa in his home office.

"I said stop," he snapped, opening his eyes to glare at her. She glared back completely unintimidated, and part of him wanted to applaud her for that. Too many people quailed when he snapped, and given what she likely believed about him--most of which was probably true--the fact that she didn't back down was admirable. It also made his head hurt, and part of him wanted to beg Mohinder to finish up the tests on Elle more quickly so he could send the chit back to Nathan to deal with.

"Why?" she asked, crossing her arms. "It's an important issue, both for the security of your little fortress here and for the general health of your people."

"It was a loose cow, Melissa," he said with a sigh. "It's been taken care of."

"It was sick," she argued.

"It's been taken care of," he repeated.

"How?"

( Adam dropped his hands and stared at her for a long minute. )
