Action: Asteroid & Goldstone
When: While still at the asteroid belt

[Action: Closed to Kara - Asteroid]
[Strolling along one of the nicer asteroids, pleasantly full from a meal large enough that it may have worried the restaurant owners. He is walking side by side with Kara and while it still doesn't seem real that Winn is just gone, he's having a pretty good day with the woman he loves. He's smiling at her when he notices a store with toys in the display window and stops.]

Oh, let's go in there.

[Action: Closed to Takeshi - Goldstone]
[Knock, knock, Captain. There's a Daxamite at your door bearing gifts.]

(OOC: If you want to call or run into Mon-El on one of the asteroids, the Goldstone, the Tourist, or the Iskaulit, please have at him! If you want a specific prompt just let me know!)

I was definitely relentless.

[spacebro]

I can't imagine that at all. [Did he manage to keep a straight face? No, no he did not.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Were you a wild child?

[spacebro]

Do I seem like I'd be wild? I probably had my moments. [Of being a lonely kid looking for attention and affection. Sometimes acting out to get it. Sometimes just clinging.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure we all did.

[spacebro]

[He just smiles at Kara and then resumes his looking.] He mentioned crayons. What are those?

[takingkarabusiness]

They're colored wax cylinders that are used to draw and color, and I think that would be a great gift.

[spacebro]

Oh, we had something like that on Daxam. They were triangles and it was a different compound but you drew with them. Let me know if you see any. [Pulling down a stuffed flamingo too because why not?]

[takingkarabusiness]

Some things are universal.

Does he like flamingoes?

[spacebro]

He likes pandas. I don't see a panda though and he already has one.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure if you give him that, he'll love flamingoes too.

[ she picks finds some crayon-like things and holds them up ]

I think it's very cute that you're thinking about him and what he would like.

[spacebro]

Well, he's a good kid. And captain. [And Mon-El worries about some of the things he's said before. He grabs a bouncy ball and a booklet to color in.] This is probably good.

[takingkarabusiness]

Here, let me get some of that too.

she wants to pitch in some credits

[spacebro]

Are you sure? You don't have to.

[takingkarabusiness]

I want to. They can still be just from you, but this is fun.

[spacebro]

[He leans over and gives her a peck of a kiss.] I won't take away your fun then. [And then there is the act of paying and taking everything out in a bag.] Thanks for doing that with me.

[takingkarabusiness]

I just like being with you. It's a bonus that we're gift shopping.

[spacebro]

I like being with you too. A lot. [A beat. Even more sincere looking.] I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. [And he's been thinking about that a lot lately between people telling him he should get his secrets out of the way before the Atroma highlight them and Winn disappearing.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, you don't have to worry about it because it's not going to happen.

[spacebro]

How can you be so sure?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she finds herself under his arm with her arm around his back ]

If I believe in something enough, it'll have to be true.

[spacebro]

I did not know that was one of your powers. [He gives her shoulder a squeeze.] It sounds like a good one. [He looks thoughtful. He's been carrying his secrets too close to the surface lately as things conspired against him to bring it up. But he's still afraid to say anything and it's all too easy to keep telling himself he can put it off for Kara's sake too.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I can pretend, anyway.

[spacebro]

Pretending has a lot of good things going for it.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah.

Anyway, I guess I could've just said I can't imagine what I'd do without you too, which is true.
