Comments

[outstandingbalance]

My mistake. I'd offer you some, but if it's not your thing...

[Even though it's technically his coffee.]

So how are you doing? It seems like it's been a little while since we just hung out.

[postocular]

[ He moves to sink down in a chair across from her. ] Better, I think.

[ There's a brief pause, a quick quirk of his lips. ] Maggie's back.

How are you?

[outstandingbalance]

Doing all right. I have a friend who showed up too—he's a good guy, if you run into him.

[And also missing an eye? So how about that.]

Thor?

[postocular]

I haven't, no.

..Wait. Thor like.. God of thunder? [ He is very skeptical, okay? ]

[outstandingbalance]

Basically. It's a little more complicated than that, but the guy the story was based off of.

[postocular]

Oh..[ A beat. ] Cool.

[outstandingbalance]

Cool? [Okay, kid. Okay.] I'll have to tell him it takes more than that to impress you.

[postocular]

I mean, I'd have to see for myself, you know! You could be fibbing.

[outstandingbalance]

Could be. I am an accomplished fibber.

[postocular]

How deep does this go? Do you even like coffee, or is that a fib, too?

[outstandingbalance]

A good fib is a lifestyle. You might never know.

[postocular]

No? I bet somebody here's knows some of your secrets. You have people from home around.

[ Carl Grimes: Super Sleuth. ]

[outstandingbalance]

You going to investigate me, kid?

[postocular]

I could always ask the Starstruck. [ And then he smirks like a little shit. ] Or your boyfriend.

[ Yeah, lady. He saw your network post! ]

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, go ahead and ask him. Let me know what he says. [Natasha is confident in her friends, but Bucky in particular she trusts not to have loose lips.] See how much any of them know.

[postocular]

[ First, he'd have to figure out who it even was, though he can rule out a good number of people. Or snoop through the log, but that's neither here nor there. ]

Oh come on! [ He flops down in the chair across from her. ] You can't always be an impenetrable fortress.

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe not, but it's worked so far.

[postocular]

Tell me something that you like. Outside of all this stuff.

We can even go back and forth if you want.

[outstandingbalance]

You really want to know that much, huh? [A pause, then a shrug.] All right. I like to dance.

[postocular]

Yeah? [ It's a little surprising, but it makes sense, he thinks. ] What kind of dancing?

[outstandingbalance]

Ballet. I learned as a kid. [One of the few good things she learned.] Your turn.

[postocular]

I never learned to dance. Didn't really have much of a reason to.

[ His head tilts to the side, arms resting over each other on the table. ]

What do you want to know?

[outstandingbalance]

Why not keep it simple. What do you like? Outside of comic books and pudding.

[postocular]

I like reading in general? The library's got some pretty good books I hadn't read before. I don't mind the engineering? It keeps me busy.

[outstandingbalance]

Reading is good. There's a lot of things to learn.
