Duke was pretty sure he had, in fact, already blown this trip up.

Thursday, he sent back, trying to get back to the nice feeling. you, me, a tent, and the woods

[okteiviakom]

He kind of had. But now he had most of a week to try and make it better again.

Like he was already trying to. Octavia could see that much.

And warm things

[betterthanaplan]

all the warm things. I bet I could find some fruit pies we could cook over a fire

[okteiviakom]

Id like those

And cooking over a fire just in general, let's be honest.

And hot drinks

[betterthanaplan]

They would end up eating so many kabobs.

oh totally. got a matcha hot cocoa I'm dying to try out

[okteiviakom]

Dont know what that is, but i trust you

[betterthanaplan]

Seeing that word, trust, made something unknot deep in Duke's chest.

anything you want to bring along, too? maybe we can tell stories by the fire

[okteiviakom]

Maybe they needed this, right now.

Dont know yet but ill think of something. Maybe ill bring a book

Maybe she'd read myths to him.

[betterthanaplan]

He'd love that. Curling up with her by the fire while she read.

looking forward to it

[okteiviakom]

Octavia wasn't necessarily great with emoji.

But this one was easy:
