There's a panhandler who hangs out on the street corner by our dispensary every afternoon with a sign that just says "Green 4 Green?" and tbh, I respect my boy's confidence.

Yeah, our cat stays indoors, but she genuinely doesn't seem to care, so it's fine xD

They needed a moment so bad haha. They haven't had one in like almost two weeks
When Iris brought up the conversation they’d had a while ago at Miles’ place, Caspian blinked and turned to her with raised brows. He remembered that she hadn’t eaten much of the pizza they had bought that afternoon, but he hadn’t realized why she’d been afraid to voice her preferences. “That’s what you’re concerned about?” he asked, bemused. “Iris, no one would judge you if you just told us you prefer simple dishes. You could have said something, and we would have ordered you food that wasn’t as rich.” He wrapped an arm around her waist to pull her to his side. “I’m sorry if you felt like we were pressuring you. That wasn’t what I meant to do. I just got excited about showing you more of the things here that I like. Now that I know you like plain stuff better, I’ll try to keep that in mind for you, okay?”

Luckily the menu they were looking at now was decently diverse. He’d picked out a dish on the more lavish end of the spectrum, but there were other choices that he hoped would be more palatable to her. When she decided on the carbonara, he nodded and shut the book, setting it back down on the counter. “Great choice,” he smiled at her fondly, giving her hand a squeeze when she reached for his. The phone on the first level of the suite was set up on the end table by the sofa in the living room, so he tugged on her hand to walk with her over to the space. Technically, he didn’t need to drag her along with him, but he liked the feeling of their intertwined fingers and didn’t want to let go just yet.

Taking a seat on the plush couch and pulling her down beside him, he picked up the phone in his free hand and punched the button to connect it to the front desk. The dial tone rang in his ear, and he leaned comfortably against Iris’s side, touching one more fleeting kiss to her cheek before he heard someone pick up on the other end of the line.

“Hi, I’d like to place an order from l’Étoile Veloutée to be delivered to suite E2050, please,” he said after the initial greeting.

Of course. May I have a name for the order? The receptionist asked.

“Daniel Smith,” Cas replied, giving the fake name he’d used to book the room.

Thank you, Mr. Smith... What would you like from the restaurant?

“One carbonara pasta, one shellfish plate and a bottle of the Bodegas Vega Sicilia Unico Tinto 2007,” he prattled off smoothly. “When the food’s ready, have the cart left at my door. I’d like to bring it inside on my own.”

I’ll make your server aware of your preference, Mr. Smith. How would you like to pay for your dinner this evening?

“Have the restaurant bill it to my room,” Cas answered.

Wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Smith, and I hope you enjoy your stay with us at the Sunset Veil.

“Thank you,” he said in return.

With that out of the way, he hung up the phone and turned back to Iris, a broad smile lighting up his features. When he’d left home earlier, he hadn’t expected to enjoy himself very much, but staying at a resort with the woman he loved was quickly turning out to be more fun than he’d anticipated. Suddenly, he didn’t feel quite so bad about slipping away without telling anyone else where they were going. His dark brown eyes traveled from her soft face down to the black dress that hugged her figure, and he reached across her lap to rest his hand on her hip. “I didn’t have time to say anything earlier, but you look beautiful,” he mused, glancing back up to meet her eyes. “This dress is really flattering on you… sexy, even. I like it.”
Okay cool! I haven't had trouble with any other software on my computer, and even games work at a lower resolution the few times I've tried them. My computer can even run engineering software, so it really isn't that limiting :)
I understand that. I'm the same way. A lot of things break down quickly because of planned obsolescence, but I don't know if that's the only reason why windows computers have such short lifespans.

The only potential downside to Mac computers is that they can't handle online games, so if you're into those, you may not want one. I personally don't play computer games at all, so it isn't an issue for me, but I know a lot of people on this site are gamers, so I figured it's worth mentioning.
3 years really is nothing. I think I've had my laptop for 6 or 7 years now? And I don't expect I'll need to exchange it anytime soon. I just need to clean out the hard drive a little because it's cluttered with stuff I don't need anymore.
Yeah, he loves the backyard at the new place too :)

Cas just enjoys spoiling her xD
Cas shrugged when Iris said the suite was too expensive. After he’d been to Tongsen, he understood why she wasn’t used to dropping large sums of money on things like this, but it was normal to him. The room he’d booked was the most lavish at the resort with the best view overlooking the pool below and the vast city sprawling into the horizon. His father may have chased him off with threats of admitting him to an asylum, but he wasn’t going to let the king force him into a hovel. While he was hiding out, he was going to at least try to enjoy himself. He felt like he deserved that much, especially after the emotional rollercoaster Atlas had been imposing on him for the past couple weeks.

“Yeah, I can call the front desk and ask for them to send dinner to our door,” he confirmed when she asked about room service. Watching her approach the window, his expression softened slightly. He was struck again with gratefulness that she was with him during this uncertain time. Not only was it nice to have someone else around while he was feeling lost, but it was also the first opportunity they’d had to truly be alone since they’d gotten back to the capital. The closer they became, the more he was coming to realize that he depended on her as a refuge from all the turmoil around them. He’d never loved anyone else as much outside of his own family.

Warmed by the thought, he walked over to stand behind her and wrapped his arms around her middle, pressing a kiss to her neck as he took in the view of the city lights. For a few heartbeats, he merely held her, enjoying the moment before he said softly, “I think we should order food even if you’re not hungry. I noticed you skip a lot of meals, Iris… You need to eat something.” He touched another kiss to her cheek and smiled at her affectionately. “I don’t know what I’d do if you wasted away to nothing. Come on.”

Giving her a quick squeeze, he let his arms fall away from her and took her by the hand to bring her with him to the kitchen at the back of the suite. With his free hand, he felt around the wall until he found the light switch, which he flipped to turn on the lights over the quartz countertops. Every hotel he’d ever stayed at had a menu book so, letting go of Iris, he ambled over to the small collection of brochures, pamphlets and other things the resort had for its guests to browse during their stay. As expected, the menu was among them, and he picked it up to bring to her to look through.

Leaning back against the edge of the counter, he gestured for her to stand next to him and opened up the thin book. “Pick whatever you want and ignore the numbers,” he told her, nudging her shoulder playfully with his own. “I’ll just charge it to the room. Whatever you don’t eat, we can just put in the fridge and have for breakfast in the morning.”

Taking his own advice, he skimmed the dishes on the list. Since they were staying at a luxury resort, each item on the menu costed no less than fifty credits, and many had italicized suggestions for wines that paired well with the flavors in the meals. Cas eyed a description of a seafood plate with lobster tail and oysters that sounded especially good as well as a bottle of Spanish red wine on the drink menu that they could share. “What are you in the mood for?” he asked, glancing up at Iris once he’d made his decision. “Just let me know, and I’ll put in the order for us.”
That's good! I got a Mac because my PCs always died. Apple's phones may not last long, but their laptops are basically immortal, so my computer has been operating great for years. As long as I remember to update the software, I don't have issues with it. It was super expensive to buy, but it paid for itself in the long run.

Hopefully the next one you get works great!
That's good. At least the issue appeared before the warranty expired then :)
Yeah, that's really weird. Hopefully you can get it fixed or replaced quickly!
