[beathach]

Mm, I know. I've seen it happen.

[he huffs out a breath of laughter] If it was someone I was close to? I'd likely do the same thing.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm just kind of hopelessly optimistic sometimes, what can I say?

[beathach]

It's a good quality to have.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she smiles genuinely... and is that a bit of a blush coming up? ]

Oh, well, you know. It has its ups and downs.

So! Unless I really am interrupting anything, maybe you could show me around the ship? It's my first visit.

[beathach]

[did he make a girl blush how did this happen]

Oh - right, yeah, I could - I haven't really looked around myself, but I wouldn't mind looking around with you?

[he turns away, then immediately turns back and gestures to a cabinet] I - uh, I smuggled some food over. Anything with sugar is in that cabinet, the rest is in the one next to it.

[he protected the sugar for u Kara]

2/3

[takingkarabusiness]

[ yeah she zooms over there to check ]

3/3

[takingkarabusiness]

[ and turns around with really the most ecstatic face ]

You are, by far, my favorite person on this ship right now. Maybe in the whole fleet!

[beathach]

[he's not laughing. He's doing a very good job of keeping a straight face]

I did promise.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she grabs something with sugar in the cabinet, stuffs it in her mouth, and gives him a... forceful hug, mouth full of pastry ]

Mmphhank you!

[beathach]

[how do hugs work?? He's so surprised by the sudden hug that his arms sort of stick out, like he has no idea of what to do. Then he . . . carefully hugs her back]

Y-You're welcome.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she backs off, swallowing her bite ]

You're scared of your strength, aren't you?

[beathach]

I don't usually get - hugs like this.

[god that sounds awful. He quickly adds] I-I'm okay managing it? I mean, I haven't broken anything in a long time.

[takingkarabusiness]

I broke the door off of the washing machine the other day. It's a process.

But you don't have to worry about that with me. We could arm wrestle if you need proof?

[beathach]

[he surprises himself by laughing a little]

No, no, I believe you. And I think you'd beat me anyway, I don't think I'm that strong. [he says, knowing he can throw Wolverine across a foyer with ease]

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm still on the mend, anyway. I don't think I'll get to full strength here.

[beathach]

Even so, what you can manage is plenty impressive.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, right, tour. I'm just going to...

[ she grabs an armful of snacks and talks between bites ]

Honestly, I don't think they've rationed enough calories for me regaining back my powers. I mean, a girl's gotta eat!

[beathach]

[he doesn't resist the grin this time, but he will get the door for her]

Maybe the next place we stop will specialize in sugar? Though I will admit, I've only been here a little while and I already miss twinkies.

[of all the foods to miss]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh my god, Twinkies. We never had anything like that on Krypton. Or if we did, my mother would never let me know about it.

You know, I was trying to explain crullers to a few people but it's really hard to explain donuts to people who don't have a concept of french pastries.

[beathach]

That's . . . that's terrible. [he sounds amused and pained at the same time] Crullers are really good.

[takingkarabusiness]

They're my favorite and you know, I love my sister, but last time she brought me donuts they were out of crullers and I almost did something I can't take back.

[ she's kidding. kind of. ]

[beathach]

[the straightest face]

Donuts are very serious.

[takingkarabusiness]

Thank goodness we have that in common.

[beathach]

I'm glad someone around here appreciates good food.

[because twinkies and cruellers are the pinnacle of fine cuisine]

I wonder if it's possible to bribe someone who can bake. Surely they can't be that hard to make.
