[FIN] Islands

Her comment got a small chuckle out of him before Rory pulled back so wipe at the tears he felt prickling his eyes. He hadn't expected to see his past staring back at him, especially so far from home.

"Yeah, yeah I did," he relaxed but didn't move his arm from around her shoulders. "It was just surprising...a good surprise...but still..."

He shook his head, "Anyway we came down here to watch a movie," he said to try to segway past the subject, "and I know you hate it when your tea gets cold."

Tambrey felt very comfortable, sitting there with Rory's arm around her shoulders.
'A good surprise' were words she'd been waiting to hear without even realising she had been. She was very glad that he felt that way.

"Ah." They had come to watch the movie she'd been setting up, right. "Yes. Um. Just need to press play really." She smiled, agreeing, and, perhaps, defending her position. "Well not will /all/ teas, but y'know... Hot tea when it's supposed to be hot is just... better. I'll, uh, start the film." Still, though, she wanted to make sure she said it. "I'm very glad it was a good surprise."  

[LexThetaSigma]

He settled in and grabbed the remote before she could to press the play button to start the movie she had chosen all while keeping his arm around her shoulders; it was...nice...and comfortable to be sitting there with her like this.

Rory grinned as she defended her position on the tea before segwaying past the subject. "It brought back some good memories, before everything went to hell."

"I'm glad." Tambrey repeated, leaning in as they settled. Tea, a film, a comfortable chair and closeness.
Despite the fact that they were trapped, bound to the life within the fortress they were currently ensconced within, stuck as part of a criminal enterprise, this was a very comfortable, welcome situation, and at least they'd ended up trapped there together, she reflected.

'Before everything went to hell.' She knew what he meant, but it was still sad to hear, a little painful; it, at the least, deserved a hug to stymie the train of thought it might lead on to. Or at least let him know he had someone willing to listen and help now.
"Hopefully more good memories than bad to come." She offered, not entirely sure if she was sure of that, given their lives now, but willing to pretend for now.

(Still sorry heart )

His arm continued to stay around her shoulders and the temptation to pull her into his side was almost too much. If it wasn't welcomed, she could pull away. If it was....well....that would be fine; Rory tried to ignore the way his heart fluttered at the thought as he slowly attempted to pull her closer.

Rory smiled over at her as the film started to play on the screen. "Hopefully." It didn't matter what happened there or while they were out on the job; if he could have more moments like this, maybe with her, it would be worth it.  

[Gwennythe]

Rory would find his attempt a success, though just entirely what it meant to each of them would remain a mystery, at least to Tambrey, regarding Rory, for only a short while into the future.
There were things to be said in the coming months, but when she'd find a time, or a reason, to initiate the sort of discussion she hoped for, she had no idea...

For that moment, Tambrey was simply happy with the closeness; the two of them sitting there; unknowingly, they shared Rory's sentiment.
