More kisses! (Infinite kiss feedback loops are the best loops.)

They have a little time to indulge themselves.

Get some stress worked out.

Hopefully the visitors aren't too quick returning her credit card.

Should they hang the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door knob?

If Ruby doesn't want to get to work on her plans today...

Eh, it's late enough already; she can text Incandesce in the evening.

Then Ellie will pop right over to do that, before hopping back to spoil her favorite tiger.

Perfect excellent wondrous Ellie.

Gorgeous fiery amazing Ruby!

Eeeeeeeee best girlfriend ever, she spoils Ruby so well.

That's the goal.

Fortunately, Ellie is remarkably talented at everything she does.

And she's not afraid of hard work and practice.

Ruby gets more and more effectively spoiled every day.

So let it be.

Excellent.

Later that evening – after reacquiring her credit card – she texts Incandesce from her usual Ruby phone:

hey hottie, got something important to talk about, when's soonest you can meet me?

its ruby! hi ruby!!

im free for coffee tomorrow morning ;)

hi incandesce!!

coffee tmrw am works :3

Then they can set up a time and a place to meet (maybe the park nearish the Protectorate HQ?).

To start, yeah, though she'd like to talk in private after...

She can't make any promises, but okay.

They'll see how things go.
