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.

[takingkarabusiness]

Hopefully not a bad smell.

[ whatever, she'll roll with it ]

[pneumo]

[ This is totally how you people what are you talking about! ]

Nope! It's very nice♥ Almost as good as Obi-wan. [ Bigby ranks #1, followed by Kitty and Ramse at #2. ]

[winn]

[ he turns on the light in his communicator, setting it down by kara, and walks over to the light switch to kill the main light ]

Sascha can't see in the light so until I can figure out how to block it out on the sick pair of shades I'm making him, this is our compromise -

[ he explains, before making his way back slowly to sit by kara, eyes still adjusting to the change. ]

Come sit with us, man, what've you been up to this week?

[takingkarabusiness]

Good to know. I think my eyesight is better than yours in the dark, though, Winn. So it's not a big deal for me.

[ she makes space between them for Sascha ]

[pneumo]

[ yes♥ Winn you really do have the best friends--Sascha's going to clamber on in between them, pulling off his shades happily--so Kara might see that he lacks irises entirely, and that it's just his dilated pupils. ]

Um... Well! I slept with Bigby every night, and he only rolled on top of me once. [ Bigby is a 9-foot+ wolf for the record ] And I got a face scan from the pretty doctor, and I took medicine for the first time ever, and then Nami took a bunch of money from my account☆

[ There is nothing at all suspicious or alarming in all that ]

[winn]

Only til my night vision goggles are done -

[ he's kidding! or is he? yes, yes he is, he has way more important projects to spend his time on.

wow. where does he even start here sascha? he frowns. ]

What medicine? And what was the money for?

[takingkarabusiness]

Is Bigby your friend?

[pneumo]

Um....I think so. He hasn't said we are yet, but the pretty lady with blonde hair said we don't need to say it out loud to be friends. I hope we are... [ he would like that very much if Bigby would be his friend who is also a boy. yes. ]

Oh--and the money was for the pictures of the gorgeous women! [ the Atroma....he thinks they're hot ladies. ]
