Fathom has posed:
Aspen knocks softly when she reaches the door, but knows he is expecting her or at least won't mind her entry as she tries the handle and finds it unlocked, backing into it to open it up as she switches one of the two coffee cups from Starbucks back into her other hand. Once inside the apartment she calls out softly, "Got coffee." Not enough to wake him if Thomas is sleeping, but enough he'll hear her if not. She sets off through the apartment looking for him.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith is up and smiles a bit when she comes back in. "I was afraid you might have run away." He says with a bit of a wicked grin. He's more dressed then the last time she seen him, albeit barely. He's wearing a pair of sweat pants and...well that's it. "I do hate eating breakfast alone... your phone has been buzzing off the the table.."

Fathom has posed:
Aspen moves over to give Thomas one of the cups of coffee. "Well, I have a flight to make up," she says. "Though I did send some warnings and things to do until I get back," she tells him. Aspen glances over, blushing just slightly as he's bare-chested. She looks back down hiding her gaze on her coffee. "It's ok though, they needed extra time to prepare the sensors," she says.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks a little bit, and when he catches her looking he flexes his pec muscles at her, if a bit playfully. "And just how late /could/ you get back to your...research?" he asks playfully, moving in and giving her a very pleasant good morning kiss... "I hope you can at least stay for a decent breakfast." He adds almost innocently.

Fathom has posed:
Aspen gives a shake of her head and chuckles at Thomas's playfulness. "Yes, I can stay that long," she tells him. She sighs and leans over to kiss him back, moving a hand to touch his bare chest gently before blushing a bit more. "I should at least fly out by this evening though so we can leave in the morning first thing," she tells him, peeking back up at him out of the corner of her eye.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks a bit and nods, "Why don't you let me take care of that for you at least. I've got some miles that are about to expire anyway, no reason I can't use them on you...as an apology." He says wickedly. Likely the man hasn't ever been "sorry" in his life. "How does steak and eggs sound for breakfast?"

Fathom has posed:
Aspen gives a soft smile and nods to Thomas. "I suppose I could agree to that. To both. The breakfast too," she tells him. Aspen moves to lean against him, and rest her head gently against his shoulder first before letting him go to work on the aforementioned breakfast. "I think I kind of needed the time off," she tells him. Euphemisms at their best.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks a bit, "Well I am glad I could help you relieve some tension.." He says with a smirk, "Two or three times by my count.." He adds lavasiously, taking the steaks out of the fridge and placing them on the grill before starting the eggs.. He was about to say something when her phone /again/ starts buzzing on the counter. "Somebody misses you." He says amused..

Fathom has posed:
Aspen goes over to get the phone. She answers it and gives a soft laugh. "Yes, I'm here. No, no you don't get details," she says, glancing over at Thomas. "Oh. Ah... yes, you're right. Ok, I'll head on back then," Aspen says. She sighs and hangs up, then goes over to Thomas. "Thank you for a night that I needed. But I think I need to get going back now. I'll call when I'm in New York next, ok?" She brushes a slow kiss to his lips. Backing away then, biting her lip as she glances at him one more time before slipping back out.
