We'll make notes at some point, just to be sure we have things routed out if things work out. [Peter is positive about the colonies wanting to help each other, even with the distance between them.]
We'll probably go hoarse anyway from talking, so, it'll even out. [Akin to the few times they both sang on base together and went equally hoarse from being a bit too enthusiastic.]
Probably. But we've got enough clean water for the trip so we'll be fine.
[Ideally he'd like to confirm if the other colony has their own way to routinely get clean water. At the start of planning, they were going to only take enough water for the trip there and refill, but they had no way to confirm at the time they would have any to come back with.
He smiles, nudging Peter's shoulder with his own.]
Its nice, just to be us for once. [There was so much up in the air still about the other colony. Peter was hoping with the visit they would get the lay of the land and be able to make negotiations a lot easier.
He laughs a little at the nudge, moving to try and draw Leo in for a quick kiss. Not the first time they've kissed and walked by a long shot.]
We can dally, just a little. [Peter is more than happy to indulge his husband given they're alone. Its the first real outing either has really done since Leo gained his prosthetic.
He regains his own footing easily, maybe showing off with a bit of a spin to make his husband laugh. They both need to be so serious on base at all times, its nice not to be.]
If you can spy something that isn't destroyed, I'll be amazed.
Overpowering and unavoidable, huh? [He questions back with a smile, amusement easy to read in his expression. He raises Leo's hand in his own up to press a light kiss against his knuckles. A passing flirt they can get away with now that they're alone.]
[Peter's lips quirk upwards a little a silly joke hitting him first as he moves to let go of Leo's hand to gingerly pull him in for a peck on the cheek.] My love for you?
[That startles out a laugh from Peter. He's turning just a little redder in turn.] Oh my god-
[The turtle is going to get himself another kiss for good measure.] My next guess was your smile, but, I guess that's not any less cute than the actual answer.
Your smile will win? Obviously. [He is suitably distracted by a kiss, even if their walking is absolutely thrown off by the kissing. Peter doesn't care just yet.]
Alright, alright- [He's happy enough to relent, just smiling up at his husband. It is one of those moments he misses being a little taller. He liked leaning down to press a quick peck against his husband's forehead.
The impulse strikes him just a little as they walk. He reaches out to gently wrap his arms around Leo's waist and lift him up spinning him around with a practiced ease.] Let me see it real quick, just for comparison!

Yeah. Maybe we shouldn't be in too much of a hurry to get there.
[He knows they should. The faster they get there, the less chances of having to fight isolated.] Let's seeeeeee.... We could play I Spy?

Oh, I have the perfect thing. I spy with my lil' perfect cute eye, something overpowering and unavoidable.

Warmer. Definitely getting closer.

Still warm, though. D'you give up?
