[he has admittedly been giving her a little space since, even if they agreed they were still friends and wanted to keep it that way. That and he's been busy here and there, what with drama on his ship as well as between the people from his world.

So when she sits down he glances up and - admittedly lights up a little. He missed spending time with her]

Kara, hey. Ah - [he blanks and has to turn the book over to read the title] Modern science stuff. I'm giving looking up anything on terraformers a break.

"Modern science stuff". I like it. But variety is good. Learn anything cool and groundbreaking today?

I do like variety in my boring interests. [he grins a little] They mapped the human genome? I read about that a little earlier today. But aside from that, it's mostly improvements on things I'm already familiar with.

That has to be cool, though. It would be really neat to see the advancements. It's funny; going to Earth for me was kind of a backwards move, in terms of maths and sciences. But they're doing pretty well with what they have.

I feel like I'm spoiling myself for things in the future, but it isn't as though I'm going to be the one inventing them. And it gives me things to look forward to. [aside from just surviving] Was it a huge difference? The advancements on your planet compared to Earth's.

Oh, yeah. Like for one. Gravitistics don't really jive with Newtonian physics. But Krypton didn't have video games, so it's a toss-up.

I think you mentioned that once - with everything I've learned here and other places, I've given up on understanding physics the way I know it. [he huffs out a laugh] Video games seem to be really important in the future. I played Tetris once?
