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]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ right nothing else at all ]

Sure. Out of curiosity.

[beathach]

Uh - no, not . . . past you and - uh, Kitty and Winn. A-And Cisco.

[takingkarabusiness]

Is it something I said?

[beathach]

We're not actually talking about taste testers, are we.

[he's bad at this, so . . . so bad]

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe not.

I had a lot of fun at the masquerade with you.

[beathach]

. . . I had a lot of fun with you, too.

[takingkarabusiness]

And I know what it's like to want to be able to be yourself around people, but it can be hard to balance that when you're like we are.

[beathach]

[he laughs a little weakly]

It's incredibly hard to balance. Especially when - who you are is still something you're coming to terms with, in a way.

And as you can see, I'm doing a great job of that.

[takingkarabusiness]

What's that supposed to mean?
