You'll be feared by cookies in every continent.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's the longterm goal.

[winn]

What's the short-term?

[takingkarabusiness]

Finishing off this sleeve of donuts.

[winn]

Aye aye, Admiral! [ he salutes. that's easy. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she flops back and eats, thinking and staring at the ceiling. she's not even thinking about anything stunningly complicated. just that even though they're not exactly where she'd want to be locationally, this is probably the best place she and winn have been in their friendship. like, ever. it's a relaxing thought. ]

[winn]

[ he eats too, enjoying the comfortable silence for a moment, because he and kitty don't really have those anymore since he confessed to her that he's been keeping things in. he loves talking to her, but not every silence needs to be filled.

after a while though, he breaks it. ]

So what's new with you?

[takingkarabusiness]

I feel like you know most of what's up with me.

Have you met José? I can't remember.

[winn]

I don't think I did, no.

[takingkarabusiness]

He's a pretty great guy, but I think he's on the shy side. And not that terrible worlds are a competition, but his is pretty much terrible. And there's like, time travel involved? It's complicated.

[winn]

[ of course it is. ]

Do you ever get the feeling like ours is one of the only safe ones out there? [ well, it's under constant alien threat but it has badass alien defenders so it even out in winn's mind. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I really do, even with my family drama managing to find its way there.

Anyway, we are just friends, but he has these pretty nasty nightmares so sometimes I go over and hang out overnight? And we're not having sex or anything at all of that nature, which, I don't know why I need to tell you that at all, but it's the truth.

[ abort, kara, abort ]

I guess it's just a way I can help, powers or no.

[winn]

[ yeah he's not sure why you're telling him any of this either. raised eyebrows are raised. ]

That's -- nice. Good. That you can help. So I should meet your - friend without benefits, if he ever feels up to it -

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure you'd get along. He's kind of... rugged? On the outside? And has been through a lot but has a really good heart.

[ look, you asked her what's up in her life. hanging out with José is what's up ]

[winn]

[ he asked about her life not her sex life. which he's figuring is what she wants here if it was on her mind. and he's not sure what to do with any of this. ]

I'm sure we will, he's gotta be great for you to like him. [ and he's a lot better with great guys being around her now that not only have his feelings had their funeral - but he has someone himself. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ look, you say you're spending the night with a guy, or sleeping with him, or anything, there's gonna need to be a clarification. just sayin, winn ]

Well, like I said, friends. He's a few years older, though I think technically I'm older.

[winn]

You mean with phantom zone years?

[ look he's not really sure where they stand on the discussing their love lives line here. the last thing he wants is to mess up the good place they got to by tming her or reacting badly to her tmi. ]

Well hey, let him know if he ever feels like meeting one more person, I'd like to.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, I'm looking pretty good for almost 50, am I right?

[winn]

Scary good, even.

[takingkarabusiness]

Dermatologists hate me!

[ she laughs at her own joke ]

Anyway. I can't think of anything else major going on.

[pneumo]

[ Oh good, because Sascha's just finished scrounging himself up out of bed after a good breakfast of some warmed raw meat courtesy of Bigby (and yes, he made sure to brush his teeth and wash his hands. He can people sometimes!) he's up and made his way over for his nightly....school? ish? lessons? talking??? with Captain Nobeard. He's been promoted from "boyfriend."

He's smelled Kara on Winn before, but when he reaches the outside of the room and he gets a fresh whiff of it he blinks, poking his head around the corner. UV SHADES AND ALL. ]

--Hi Winn! [ who is this who is this who is this HELLO PRETTY BLONDE LADY. ]

[winn]

Sascha! Right on time.

[ he smiles and stands up, looking for something to wipe his hands on, oh good a tissue! that'll do. ]

Come on I want you to meet my best friend from home - remember I told you about her? Kara - Sascha. Sascha - Kara.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she sits up and smiles warmly ]

Hi, Sascha. Winn told me a bit about you.

[pneumo]

Oh...! Hi! He smells like you a lot--nice to meet you~

[ Because for him that is a totally normal greeting. ]

[winn]

[ shaking his head with a half-amused half-pained smile. no sascha that's not how you people. ]

We hang out a lot.
