[ come on, kitty! ]

That's good to know -- though I definitely vote for getting metal any other way that isn't people using it to hunt down my best friend. [ he pauses ] Oh, yeah! How's it going with those claws?

[passingthrough]

Good. I haven't accidentally stabbed anyone trying to shake my hand, so that's a plus. [She flicks her wrist and they three sharp claws pop out. It may turn some heads around them.]

[winn]

[ it makes him jump back in surprise - at least he didn't yelp this time! ]

H-holy sh-

[ what is it with the women in his life and giving him heart attacks? he holds a finger up for a moment, as his face appears to be an odd mixture of fear and excitement. when excitement seems to win out - he points said finger at the weapon ]

-- that's really cool.

[passingthrough]

You would have actually passed out if I'd opened them inside you.

While phased. [Did she need to add that? He would have done more than fainted if they'd been solid.]

[winn]

-- please don't do that.

[ kara's been worried that he would be ganging up on her with jim, but he's starting to suspect he's the one who should be worrying - about her and kitty. ]

[passingthrough]

[She retracts the blades and looks at him.] Hey. [Waiting for him to meet her eyes.] I wouldn't hurt you. [Even if she jokes about it. She wants him to know. Whether he believes or not is up to him.]

[winn]

I know -- but you might give me a heart attack -

[ which is a form of unintentional hurt. phasing is super cool, but the idea of a weapon going through him, especially without preparation -- is kind of deeply disturbing. don't ask him why something being phased through him is different from him phasing through something else, it just is.

he smiles though, not wanting to make her feel bad. ]

Can I - take a closer look?

[passingthrough]

I know. I need to work on that. [She has really. A year ago that is absolutely how she might have shown them off to someone. Now she just jokes about it. Improvement, right? Yeah, she has a little further to go.

She steps closer and offers her arm to him, turning it to the side so the claws wouldn't go toward him even if they were out]

[winn]

[ definitely an improvement, he would like to point that out! smiling excitedly, winn runs his fingers gently on the metal, examining the mechanism up close ]

Oh, that's a beauty - [ he's just going to go ahead and turn her arm over so he could look at the other side, that's not crossing a line, right? ] The workmanship is amazing! [ he may actually cry from the beauty of it. work of that caliber is always out of his price range ]

[passingthrough]

[It's fine as long as he doesn't dislocate anything. Not that she'd let him.] Do you and the claws need a moment in private together?

[winn]

[ he cares too much for the workmanship to do it any harm. ]

Actually, if you don't mind -

[ he's kidding. mostly. he could have some epic pretend fun with those, ok! ]

[passingthrough]

Ew. [It's going to be kinky and weird isn't it? Though she's pretty sure he's kidding. Like 85%.]

[winn]

What! They're pretty damn epic -

[ only in the little boy with a shiny new toy sort of way. ] - and you offered!

[passingthrough]

I mocked. You should really learn the difference. It would save you from more embarrassing situations. [Does it help if she smiles while she says it?]

[winn]

You'd think --

[ but he'll just find another way to get to the exact same place. all roads lead to embarrassing situations. ]

[passingthrough]

Unless you secretly like embarrassing situations. Or maybe finding them is your power.

[winn]

It's my superpower.

[ he nods, finally reluctantly letting go of her claws ]

I share it with whoever's around uncontrollably.

[passingthrough]

You're saying I'm infected now? [That would explain so much of their last time together if this was anything but a new running joke.]

[winn]

Don't worry, the effects only last as long as I'm around.

[ when in doubt, blame the awkward nerdiness. ]

[passingthrough]

That could be hard for people who like being around you.

You know, like...Kara. [Did you think she was going to say "me"?]

[winn]

[ nah, that would require having confidence ]

Don't worry, she can take it.

[ can you~? ]

But just in case, let's make it worth her while - what do you think we need?

[passingthrough]

[Aw, now it's sad.]

She does seem built for it. I don't embarrass easily. [IF ANYONE WAS WONDERING FOR ANY REASON. It's just being said. Sometimes things are just said and they don't mean anything.]

A magic portable sun generator that also makes ice cream.

[winn]

Good to know.

[ he smiles. of course, it's just a perfectly natural part of the conversation! ]

Right -- I was thinking parts -

[ since they've got stores and all around. ]

[passingthrough]

Always thinking small, but okay, I guess we can start with things that are possible. We'll need radiation shielding.

[winn]

That, I got covered.

[ smug grin is a go ]

Let's see if we can get something to start playing with.
