[ she laughs a little, but mostly because she doesn't know how to respond. it's pretty flattering and she's a little embarrassed ]

Don't strain yourself...

[nostraightlines]

[ he glances over his shoulder, smiling ]

You make it sound like it's something difficult.

[takingkarabusiness]

I just don't know how to respond to it, you know? I'm not going to tell you not to.

[nostraightlines]

[ He can understand that, even if he doesn't have any advice for her on how to respond; he's not exactly accustomed to compliments either. ]

You'll get used to it, I think.

[ They're coming up on the moon fast, and Ramse slows them for a landing. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

You'll just have to prepare yourself for compliments in return.

[nostraightlines]

Oh no. Torture.

[ His smile's a little awkward, though, indicating he won't know what to do with it either.

The good news is, they've landed! He gets up and passes Kara a mask -- gotta be safe on the toxic moon. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ takes it. she hates them but she'd rather not be sick ]

Thanks.

So! Go pieces.

[ she's going to hook elbows with him ]

[nostraightlines]

[ Ramse hates them too -- it feels like he's choking on his own air when he wears one, but the sickness is worse. He gets his on and links arms with Kara, leading her off the ship. ]

Go pieces. Or pajamas, whichever we see first.

[ There's a shopping district nearby, at least, they can poke around the dollar store equivalents for pieces first. ]

There was backgammon at the masquerade, a couple sets of those would work.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh! Sounds good. I don't really know much about that, either.

I hope we can find classic stripey pajamas for you.

[nostraightlines]

It's not my specialty but if we've gotta buy a set I can teach you that, too.

Stripes, huh? In red to match my nail polish?

[takingkarabusiness]

Naturally. It goes good with your complexion.

[nostraightlines]

I can honestly say that's never been something I thought about before.

[takingkarabusiness]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure you could carry any kind of color. But I don't imagine there's much use for seasonal palettes in your world.

[nostraightlines]

I kept it pretty dark. Earth tones... living in a forest, you know?

[takingkarabusiness]

I'd probably want to change, too. Red cape is probably a no-go while on the lam.

[nostraightlines]

You know, I'd really like to see your superhero costume. Don't suppose you have it here.

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't. I should make Winn draw it or something. Unless you know someone with skills? I can describe it to them.

[nostraightlines]

I don't think I know any artists... ask Winn to draw it, he's the one who made it, right?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, he is.

I could give it a shot, I just don't know how good it'd be.

[nostraightlines]

I'd draw a stick figure, so don't describe it to me.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure it'd be a very capable stick figure.

[nostraightlines]

I could draw her lifting a really crappy car, does that count?

[takingkarabusiness]

Please do that.

[nostraightlines]

It'll be museum worthy art, that's your warning.

[ And he spots a shop that actually has a chessboard (or something like it) in the window, so he steers her that way. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll hang it up in my room.
