Othello wasn't usually a shy man, he was loud and stuck out with his blonde graying hair in this crowd of dark hair but he immediately headed toward Elletta and took her hand, "We got to talk," he pulled her off into an exam room and closed the door behind them. He turned and looked at her with soft blue eyes, "I need to explain what happened last time we was together so, first off I still like you Elletta Haider nothings changed in that department but I'm leaving soon for a mission to Cambria...top secret mission...and I might die, at first I couldn't process getting your hopes up about us because of it. Yet after the kiss...the confession of feelings...you're all I can think about. I want you to know that and pending my survival I want you to wait for me...I'm coming back come hell or high-water I'm going to make it back to you and Benjamin, can you wait for a loud mouth old git like me? I want you...I want to see where this goes....," he took a daring step toward her, "I want you to know I was a wicked bastard before Coheed..before being brought here and I've done things that'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand but I was given a second chance here," third or fourth really, "I don't wanna piss it away but sometimes I fuck up, example that party, I can get carried away by lavish thoughts of violence. But being a father and how I feel about you...I can be someone for you and I want you to know this."

Othello could have fallen to his knees for her in that moment but instead he settled for stepping right into her space hands taking a hold on her hips and pulling her to him.

"That's scary, but you have my word, I'll be back for sure now," he let that familiar coy wolf like smile spread across his face, "plus where would you find another man like me? None of these nannies her hold a candle to what I can offer...definitely no one as funny or fun...or handsome..."

Othello growled, "Don't be crazy," but he was smirking at the same time, "And don't worry about this Cambria thing okay..Regan has a plan and it's pretty sound...I can't tell you because chain of command and secrecy and all of that," he stroked her cheek and kissed her.

And he replied just as serious, "I wouldn't dream of makin' you crazy Elletta Haider," she might be the only person in the entirety of Terra Nova that had ever said she trusted him and he thought that was good so instead of kissing her he pulled her against him and held her, "I can leave you a key to my place, to keep tabs on if you don't mind...I gotta plant last time I was out and it needs to be looked after..."

Othello pulled away just a little so he could lift her head up by her chin, "Thank you and beat them Van Zant kids away if you need too, I told them to watch it and instantly thought against it," he smiled, nkt a smirk or a wolf lik grin, but a very real smile that when it reached his eyes they somehow grew a brighter blue maybe a little younger if it wasn't for the gray stray pieces of hair.

"you and Benji are enough to keep me going out there, and I promise I'll be back before you know it," he attempted one last kiss...
