[ wanders in sometime in the early morning in her PJs ]

Fancy meeting you here.

_{[ He looks to her and he chuckles, raising his coffee cup in greeting. ]}

I kind of thought you'd be a nightgown girl, honestly.

[takingkarabusiness]

I hope you don't think about it too much.

[universal_charm]

No, not very much, but seeing you in PJs reminded me of the one time I thought about it. When when I think about it is when we were naming constellations outside of that station one night.

[takingkarabusiness]

You know, I really wanted to tell you everything then. But I chickened out.

[universal_charm]

Everything-? Oh, you mean about you being an alien?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, that little thing.

[universal_charm]

Hah, remember, where I'm from - it is a little thing. But I'm glad you told me.

You haven't broken anything else, have you?

_{[ Teasing, teasing! ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

Not that I know of, anyway. At some point I do want to reassess the heat vision topic. But I'll play it safe for now.

[universal_charm]

Not on the ship, I hope.

_{[ Seriously, those things don't seem to go together, especially when Kara said she doesn't have a lot of control of it. ]}

So, what has you up so early? Or is it you haven't gone to bed yet?

_{[ He's arching his brow at her. Yes, his mind is somewhere in the gutter, Kara. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

I think that's your night life you're thinking of.

Sometimes I like to be up when it's quiet, is all.

[universal_charm]

Fair enough. I actually think you owe me a late night-early morning constellation story now that I think about it. About a duck, wasn't it?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I don't know... I forgot.

[universal_charm]

Well, you have been a bit preoccupied lately, so I'll let it slide this time.

[takingkarabusiness]

Thank you for your pardon.

What have you been up to?

[universal_charm]

Been exploring down on the planet, mostly. That and just trying to keep myself busy. Or, you know, haunting the ship late at night.

[takingkarabusiness]

A lot on your mind?

[universal_charm]

I don't know if it's a lot on my mind, or not enough.

[takingkarabusiness]

There is definitely not enough to do here.

[universal_charm]

Beverly mentions making a kind of workshop maybe, picking up spare projects. I think I should look more into that. I'm used to having something to do, especially being a captain. Been awhile since I haven't really had a direction.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's probably not a bad idea. Winn has about a million projects already, so I figure I'll help him out here and there. But I'm used to, you know, saving people.

[universal_charm]

Yeah, I imagine it must be a change for you if that's your norm back home. Not to mention your powers.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's been a transition, yeah.

I mean, there was a whole part of my life where I didn't have powers, but I had my family. Here, it's been an experience, having neither.

[universal_charm]

You seem to be doing all right, though. Not that I would expect any different from you. And I wouldn't worry about family - it's not about blood, you know. It's just about caring for people.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I know. It'd be kind of rough if I thought it was just about blood. But my adoptive sister is a big part of my life and I miss her.
