Only one of us would be at a disadvantage with vodka, so it's up to you.

But I'm sure I can spare a few minutes for my co-favorite Russian.

[candothat]

Coffee please. My fragile ego wouldn't survive being out-drunk today.

Is Natasha your other co-favorite?

[takingkarabusiness]

Coffee it is.

Of course. Unless there are others I don't know yet? I suppose "co" could mean more than 2.

[candothat]

There are a number of other Russians that you don't know yet, but no, I think that only Natasha and I are eligible for any co-favorite Russian titles in this universe. I'm honored to share such a distinction with her.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, yes. I don't know the entirety of Russia throughout time. You're right about that.

[candothat]

Even if you did, I'm certain that Natasha and I should still be your favorites.

[He is not (well... Natasha might be). He's also getting started on that coffee.]

[takingkarabusiness]

You definitely are.

[candothat]

[If there is an expression that's roughly equivalent to pleased keysmashing, that is exactly what Pavel's face does.]

Thank you, Kara. You're my favorite extraterrestrial humanoid.

[takingkarabusiness]

Something tells me that's a very high honor. Thank you.

So, any plans for the day?

[candothat]

You're welcome. [You even beat out Spock, Kara. Good job!]

Coffee with you? Beyond that, no. I may go to see Kitty.

[takingkarabusiness]

Not a bad plan.

You knew her before, right?

[candothat]

No plans that involve coffee are bad ones.

Mm, yes. I knew her very well in Marina. [What with the him falling in love with her and the them dating. This is one of those things that he should probably talk about more but hasn't mentioned since he first found himself in the fleet.] I still wish sometimes that we remembered the same things--that she either remembered all that I do or that I only remembered what she does.

[takingkarabusiness]

I have... been there. On the Kitty side of things, mostly. It's really tough either way.

Maybe she'll get more memories?

[candothat]

It would be easier for her, I think, if she didn't. Possibly easier for me as well when the time comes to leave this universe. It can't be tough forever.

I'm sorry, anyway--that you have been in such a situation.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh it was just... when I didn't know who Mon-El was and he knew we were already working together, so... nothing so serious.

[candothat]

Serious enough. Timelines cause so much trouble in places like this. [A smile.] I'm glad that things have gone well for you. ...Relatively well. Memory discrepancies and comas aside.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, me too. It seemed impossible... I mean, he's a Daxamite. But I guess things just work out the way they should.

[candothat]

Do you really believe that things work out as they should? In all situations?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well... I think we can learn from everything that happens, but I'm not sure I totally believe things are out of our hands.
