“I was sent here by a friend, actually. Diana Prince?” Sam grinned. “Though, just gonna say, my dog is actually trained to bark at night.”
“Alien. Well, shapeshifter. Like I said, medical experiment.” -he shrugs.-
“Just gonna say, this is probably the coolest thing ever.” She grinned.
“Uh huh.” -He’s threading the needle between condescending and indulgent. In a nice way.- “It’s a thing.”
Her cheeks heated. “Wow… that sounded dickish, I’m really sorry.” She tugged on a braid.
-He smiles. A little, mind, it’s not like he’s warming on the topic or something.- “It’s very cool. Till you realize that you can do some very horrible things to yourself, and by extension, others. Still. being able to actually survive my particular sort of idiocy is nice. I guess.”
“Being able to survive is nice.” Her face fell a little and she looked away, memories in her eyes. “Most of the time.”
-He shrugs.- “Whatever doesn’t kill you, doesn’t kill ya and for that you ought to be grateful. Failing that start some bad habits.” -….Chi, no.-
She pointed at the empty cupcake tray. “That is my bad habit.” She chuckled.
