[ 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.

[takingkarabusiness]

You haven't inventoried the kitchen yet, have you?

[beathach]

I haven't, no.

. . . should I? Will I be disappointed?

[takingkarabusiness]

Extremely.

But Kate's a cook, at least. I don't think we have one of those? So you'll get the best of the worst. If that's any consolation.

[beathach]

Well . . . as long as it's edible I won't really complain?

[takingkarabusiness]

Give it a moment or two.

So, anywhere on the ship you want to see?

[beathach]

[ah, that's right, they were on a tour. He sort of glances around, and - ]

Well, since we're talking about it . . . the kitchen?

[takingkarabusiness]

It will be a new experience for the both of us.

[ heads in a direction that seems plausible for the kitchen ]

You should come visit the Tourist. My understanding is that this is a new ship so it doesn't have some of the luxuries of the others.
