Same, Fam. Same. 😩

That was, uh, certainly lively. I’ll take that as a compliment. As I intended.

ugh, but, aaah

I don't really understand this webzone. But, as an old, I don't really want to fully engage with fandom other than to give people kudos. I do wish I could communicate with others how much I appreciate their artistry and competence in their contributions to fandom (specifically fiction), but I'm useless at the words.

Well. Perhaps he did have a point there.

“OK. Fine. Good night.”

“Good night, Margo.”

Honestly I don't know which theory is cuter - (1.)that Sergei is indeed a total lightweight or (2.)that he goes along with it because it spares him from admitting it only took like 2 hours of her undivided attention to get him from this:

to this:

Due to popular demand (all of 3 comments mentioning one of these) i made two extra gifs to the last set:

Sergei's wandering left hand (look at the mirror, too) and his blink-and-you-miss-it smile now better visible in the middle of the gif.

Margo? It is done. My family and I, we are out. Thank you. Thank you so much. Um... I'm so happy to hear that, Sergei.
