[pfft, kate, please. she gets a smile for that one- sympathetic, with no small amount of humour in it.]

I think we both know it'd be more terrible if you weren't totally cool with the idea and wound up unhappy. And you already said it's a mutual thing, so maybe he needs a few more months, too. So yeah, go for it- give it some thought and a bit of space, see how you feel. And if you wanna give it a shot later, maybe try telling him you want to go on a date instead of asking if you already have?

[ladybro]

...Yeah, alright. So maybe I came on a little aggro.

[ honestly, she'd thought at the time that she'd handled it gently but. but wow, she'd misread the moment. probably best not to start talking relationships when you're painting a guys toenails in your signature colour, right? ]

Let's see if we can't all survive space until after Christmas. At least. And then I'll revisit the thought.

[selfhelp]

I hear Christmas makeouts are very satisfying.

[but he's teasing, promise.]

[ladybro]

...That sounds suspiciously like the sort of hearing you've done with your lips.

[ don't pass that off as rumour, b kaplan. she's onto you. and she's happy for you. and oh my GOD can we please talk about new york wedding venues... ]

[selfhelp]

I plead the Fifth. ...Which I'm gonna assume still works in space.

[don't look at him like that, he's jewish, what the heck does he care about christmas]

[ladybro]

-- Why don't you go ask Matt Murdock if it does.

[ she's, like, five seconds away from sticking her tongue out. ]

[selfhelp]

Oh my god, no. Until I know where that reality's DD stands on killing I am gonna keep to a very respectable creepy stalker distance.

[ladybro]

...That's not a bad idea. [ a beat. ] Some of these other realities sound like they have a looser stance on, uhm, that sort of thing.

[selfhelp]

Is it weird to be not surprised but at the same time disappointed? I mean... we've worked with people who've killed before, but I dunno. I just don't like thinking about it.

[ladybro]

I think of it like a barometer. If that much is different, what else could there be? They're nice and all, but we can't trust them to behave anything like the versions we know from home. Take Cap, for one.

He's -- [ kate shrugs ] -- really nice? Too nice.

[selfhelp]

I haven't spent much time with him, so I'll take your word for it. He does kinda give that impression, though... it's weird.

[remember the days when they used to idolize the old guard? because at this point he barely does.]
