	As the flowers were set on the table in front of her Tas groaned inwardly, could only be one person bringing Nat flowers. Turning her head slightly she peered at Dom out of the corner of her eye and tried to plaster a smile on her face; sadly it looked more like Wednesday Addams trying to smile, it was kind of scary.

	[color=a187be]"The Dominator returns from another trek into the wilderness, and we weren't lucky enough to have you break your neck? So disappointing,"[/color] Tas quipped in a sarcastic tone as she leaned back in her seat and cracked her knuckles.

	This was always how it was between them. Tas knew how much Nat loved Dom but that didn't stop her from making snide remarks. Dom knew how much Nat loved Tas, that didn't stop him either. It was their tit-for-tat as it were and any attempts to stop it just made both Dom and Tas snip at the person trying to stop it. Most had given up even trying by this point, they just went with it.

	Feeling her phone start to chime she chuckled slightly as she pulled it out and saw she had a couple of messages. The first was from Connor and she could only roll her eyes slightly as she gave a soft chuckle when she typed her reply.

[color=a187be]Just get your butt over here. The Dominator has arrived and I'm going to need a diversion if I'm going to play nice for Nats sake. Which, of course I've already failed at. :p[/color][/center]

	Hitting send she checked her other message, straightening in her seat some as her snarky expression faded away to a rare but genuine smile. If Nat looked at her for two seconds she would know exactly who just messaged Tas; she always got the same expression when [i]he[/i] messaged her.

[color=a187be]Hey, sorry I had to run off last night, I'll fill you in on my [i]wonderful[/i] shift when you get off work. ><! And of course I will hun. You're going to make it for the festivities later on?[/color][/center]

	Hitting send once again, she rested her phone gently on the table instead of shoving it back in her pocket, halfway hoping for a quick reply. The small smile still playing on her features as she looked over towards Nat.

	[color=a187be]"Sam says Happy Birthday, wishes he could in person but he stuck at work right now,"[/color] she said with a partial sigh. She'd hoped Sam had managed to get the day off but she understood, being an intern didn't leave one much of a social life; something Tas could sympathize with.

	The happy expression slowly soured to Tas's default resting [i]bitch[/i] face as she rested her chin in the palm of her hand and glanced out the window. She didn't know if she should go grab a quick shower and then try to sleep some or just say screw it, shower and press on. She was half afraid if she let herself sleep at this point Nat would have to get Feliks to set off fire crackers in her apartment to wake her up, something she knew the little snit would just love to do.
