Samuel laughed a little as he saw Finbarr had never noticed the hair and gave out a catty yelp because of him pointing it out. Samuel turned back to the discussion at hand as Avelyn spoke up. She made a good point to show that they could still try to use the stealth tech and a few other tricks to make it through the shorter route given to them. Samuel understood the sentiment to make sure the other rebels are able to defend themselves while they make their way over. Samuel just didn't care about that though, he wanted Iris to be safe, yet if that is the path, he'll deal with it. Samuel turned to Iris when the discussion seemed to finish as he held out his hand for her as he says, "Hey wanna go and look at our room?"
Good, he doesn't seem to notice the lack of candy. Iris was somewhat happy to travel the shorter path. Sure it was the riskier path but the benefits of the route were just too enticing to let slip away. She hasn't met Admiral Laguna but she trusts that Flame would be truthful about his experiences. Iris went to grab Samuel's hand, "Yeah, I kinda want a room with a window. Do you think they have one?" Iris started to exit the room, bringing Samuel with her.
Samuel grabbed onto Iris's hand as he said, "I think there isn't any. I was looking at the ship and the outside had no windows on the side." Samuel looked around as they went and found a nice empty room. As Samuel turned on the lights it showed a clean empty room with a full-size bed that is bolted into the wall and floor. A long clean metal table bolted into the wall and a single chair pushed in. Samuel then spotted a closet, whereupon opening it up he finds it is actually quite a large space for clothing. He says, "Hey this isn't bad", as he is standing in the room as he extends his arms to show the room in the closet.
"Ah, that sucks. I was hoping to look at the sprawling Nebulas as we traveled. Oh well, I hope the bed is big!" Iris said as she somewhat jogged to their chosen room. She took in the room pretty quickly and was just as quickly disappointed with its contents. But even with the dull aesthetic of the room, nothing would stop her from swan diving onto the bed. As Iris was nuzzling into the pillow Samuel grabbed her attention, showing her the closest. "Wow! That's a big closet!" as Iris lunged herself out of bed towards Samuel and the closet. She stuck her head on and examined the closet. She looked back at Samuel, "It really is big huh? I'll start putting up our belongings. You just relax on the bed for a bit." Iris was not showing it but having their own room with a big closet was actually overwhelming for her. It's like they were one step closer to being normal. As she was hanging up some of Samuel's shirts, Iris turned to Samuel and rested her dominant hand on her hip, "Hey, we'll be settling down for the night so get into your comfy clothes." Iris then continued to hang up his shirts.
Samuel says as Iris says that she would put up their belongings, "Alrighty. If you want". Samuel didn't care about if he put them up or she did, so he just threw himself onto the bed as he laid there and just stared at Iris putting up their clothing. He was thinking the entire time that this was nice. He was happy this felt normal, not too normal to overwhelm them, just normal enough to feel like they are no longer tools. Samuel had a smile on his face as he was watching Iris, yet he noticed she turned and told him to take off his clothing and get into his night gear. Which he does quickly as he goes and strips down into his underwear as he goes and grabs a pair of loose shorts. Feeling comfortable as his body is now freed he throws himself back onto the bed as he sighs out, "Done. Now you just need to change and get into bed".
"Alright" Iris responds to Samuel. She goes into the closet and shuts the door, a leisure she is truly appreciating. After stripping down to get underwear, she put on her only pair of night shorts. Then she looked around at some of Samuel's shirts. She grabbed his Superman shirt and put it on. It keeps getting tighter around here. Iris began to pull on the logo, stretching it to make room. It still hanged loosely around the midsection. After distorting the shirt enough to look like an optical illusion she excited the closet triumphantly. She does a hop onto Samuel, "TACKLE!"
Samuel noticed Iris close the closet door, he got excited. This was exciting because then there was something else that felt normal as well, privacy. As he waited for Iris he thought about their living situation. This isn't bad. I thought it was gonna be worst. Hell I think this is gonna be good. As he was lost in thought he hears Iris yell out as he notices a superman logo smash into his face. As he feels it is Iris he just wraps his arms around her and says in a muffled voice, "You're stretching my shirt. You need to get smaller boobs".
Iris laughed as she then heard Samuel's comment about her bust, "I have no control of their growth, you just need to get bigger shirts." As she was done playing, for now, she pulled herself to be more eye level with him. "And what about you? I was taller than you only like half a year ago!" Iris started to squeeze him like she was trying to compress him down, "Get smaller little brother."
Samuel looked at Iris with, "Oh really? I'm the little one here?" As Samuel started to lock his arms around her and started to tickle her ribs relentlessly as he says, "If I was the Little Brother would I be able to do this?" As he began to bite her cheek as he tickles her more furiously.
Samuel's response has Iris a sense of dread as she knew what came next. As he started his onslaught onto her ribs she could only laugh and kick get legs, "No! Please!" as she continued to lose to the tickling. Eventually, Samuel bit her cheek, "Ah! No please stop!" After like 3 minutes of hellish tickling, Iris finally conceded, "I give, I give! I'm the little sister!"
Samuel was laughing this entire time as it has been a great bit of time since they could just play and not worry. As once Samuel hears Iris concede as the little sibling. He finally stops as he is chuckling and holding Iris. He lays there, happy, happy that this is where they are now. As he cuddles into Iris as he says, "I'm happy we are here together". As he falls asleep very quickly, the fatigue of the day finally catching up with him
While recovering from the tickle assault, Iris was pulled in to some cuddles and some sappy sibling bonding time. She just responded to Samuel with, "I'm glad you chased me that day." She then falls asleep with him. Only to wake up a few minutes later and start drawing tattoos they should get together as he sleeps. Tattoos from waist to face. He is such a cute, heavy sleeper. She will be awake for some time as she pens on the tattoo's she likes and thought would look good.
