[Her voice is relatively even, but there are small undercurrents of both nerves and embarrassment.]
Kal, I know that you don't mind Fives going to bed with other people. Do you have any objection to me, specifically, sleeping with him?
[She hesitates just a fraction of second before unnecessarily admitting aloud:] I want to, but I also want to avoid doing anything that would hurt you or make you uncomfortable.
[ ...he actually looks at the communicator for a moment before-]
Tris, of course not. Why would I-
[ The smile is in his voice.]
I was actually sort of hoping something like that might happen. After all, I can hardly want anything but for my sister and someone I love as much as Fives to find partners who are worthy of them. And I think it's obvious how I feel about you both.
[It's the answer she expected, but it still comes as a relief.
She's smiling when she replies, sounding much less nervous, if just as
embarrassed.]
Thank you, Clark. I'm glad you feel that way, because, ah... [Tris
never uses audio. Always text or video. Clark is intuitive enough and
familiar enough with her habits that he can probably guess why she's
chosen it for this particular conversation. He may not be able to see her
blushing bright red, but it's fairly obvious from her voice alone.]
I was already out of half my clothes before we stopped to call you. I
should go now.

Shame on you, talking to me while a naked Fives is there for you. Go on, and give him a kiss for me at the very least.
no subject
He's not naked. Yet. Good night, Clark.

[ Is the grin in his voice obvious? Yes.]
Good night, Tris.
