I can see why you two are a thing.

[beathach]

[things he never expects to hear: this]

. . . you can?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yep. You're both so awkward with compliments. But I'll work on that.

[beathach]

[he makes a noise that sounds suspiciously amused]

She's better at them than I am.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe.

[ she thinks y'all both need to be comfortable with it ]

[beathach]

She - usually is? It's different coming from - ah, newer people.

[listen, they're mutants, no one ever compliments mutants except other mutants. This place excluded of course]

[takingkarabusiness]

Fair enough. I hope we can be comfortable around each other at some point, though.

dw give me all my tags pls

[beathach]

She'll get used to it, I think. She's not as bad as I am.

[takingkarabusiness]

You're getting better.

[beathach]

I - guess I am. I'm used to it, sort of.

[takingkarabusiness]

Being bullied with kindness?

[beathach]

Pretty much.

[takingkarabusiness]

People like you for some reason. It's a mystery.

[ teasing ]

[beathach]

It's because I'm so outgoing and charming.

[he says and somehow manages to keep a straight face]

[takingkarabusiness]

It's a shame you're an airhead.

[beathach]

Right? I don't know how people put up with me.

[takingkarabusiness]

So, anything else new with you? Just getting used to the new planet?

[beathach]

Pretty much. I figured after everything that happened, I may as well try to take it easy. [a pause, as he looks down at the work he was doing] Keyword being "try".

[takingkarabusiness]

This is downright lazy for you.

[beathach]

Believe it or not, it is.

[takingkarabusiness]

Good. You need some downtime.

[beathach]

We all do, honestly.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think this is actually the opposite of downtime for me, which suits me fine.

[beathach]

What do you mean?

[takingkarabusiness]

I feel energized. I can do so much more, and I'm not stuck inside a tin box. I think being able to do more things is my version of relaxing.
