[beathach]

That must be . . . yeah. [he's very glad his hearing isn't that good] I'm glad you cleared the air, though. It isn't fun fighting with a friend.

[takingkarabusiness]

Especially when it's someone who you expect to have your back.

[beathach]

Mmm. [a faint smile] I'm glad it worked out - like I said. I can't picture anyone being angry at you.

[takingkarabusiness]

Believe me, I have my moments. I'm sure everyone does.

[beathach]

Even knowing that, I can't really imagine it. Not - that I want to. But I know what you mean - I've had my fair share, too.

[takingkarabusiness]

Thanks. It's different here, too. There isn't a ton of pressure, so it's easy to be cheerful.

[beathach]

For you, maybe. [he's teasing] Change cheerful to relaxed, though - and I get it.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ man, she thinks he's cute ]

So, what other projects are happening?

[beathach]

[no!!!]

Well - remember when you were here last? Extracting sugar from - whatever you want to call that stuff in the kitchen worked. So now I'm working on the next part. [he gestures to a corner, where that particular project has sat since it's inception] Other than that - I've managed not to take on any more projects, even if it's seriously tempting sometimes.

[takingkarabusiness]

I am very impressed, though mostly pleased because if you focus on this, I'll get more food sooner.

[beathach]

Don't worry, it's my priority. I'm determined to finish it this week.

[takingkarabusiness]

What's the next stage?

[beathach]

Ah - the . . . actual making it stage.

I might have to ask Kate to help me with that part. I don't trust myself in the kitchen - not with this, anyway.

[takingkarabusiness]

She'll definitely help make it work. She's a magician in the kitchen. Which I'm sure you know, since she feeds you.

[beathach]

That's why she's my first choice. [said in the most solemn of tones - which he ruins immediately by grinning] I wouldn't trust just anyone with this.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm still on the schedule for taste testing, right?

[beathach]

Of course.

[takingkarabusiness]

Whew. That's a relief.

[beathach]

It was your idea, why wouldn't you be?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I don't know Hank. Maybe there's another girl who wants to taste-test, and you like her better?

[beathach]

[oh my god Kara]

It - no. N-No, you're first no matter what.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she sits up on the counter, swinging her feet, and laughs ]

Well, good. I'm glad to hear it.

Taste-testing is super important.

[beathach]

Right. Super important.

[why did you bring up other girls!!]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ because she's so bad at flirting ]

Have you gotten any other inquiries?

[beathach]

About . . . taste-testing?

[because that's what this is about, right, nothing else whatsoever]
