[It is super weird it's got nuts and fruit in it okay. Super weird.]
Then a slab of protein you shall have.
[She's pegging him as a steak sort of guy, so that's mentally added to her grocery list.]
Don't all fun, dangerous things require one these days? We'll see. Maybe I'll dream up something more interesting for you to do with your hands than hold a pen.
[ Best kind of salad tbh. And he's probably more used to literal protein slabs, so real steak?? Yes please. ]
You wouldn't believe the amount of paperwork I deal with on a daily basis. [ Because he's so fun and dangerous, obviously. ] And maybe we can make it a team exercise — you know, brainstorming over protein.
[She tips her head curiously to one side. That sounds almost like business, of a sort. Or maybe an innuendo. Alas, she is a business before pleasure sort of woman, and better safe than sorry she asks:]
Interesting things to do with my hands, mostly. But now that you mention it — how would you feel about an exchange of guinea pig services? You said you have experience with ships, right?
[She makes an agreeable noise with one little upward curl of noise at the end, sort of an absentminded mmhmm?]
Some, but I'm no expert. [This is a very dramatic pause and then she just groans outloud.] Don't tell me aliens just crashlanded and we need to stave off some invasion, I just drew the first bath I've had in over a decade.
[ That earns a broad grin, blatantly amused at her long-suffering reaction. ]
No, just Lucy. One ship, no crash and no aliens. [ Then his brow furrows, mildly concerned. ] What, do you get alien invasions a lot where you're from?
The worlds here are nuts. [ A little wary, a little impressed. They've got a lot of things back at the Quad, but aliens definitely aren't one of them. ]
All in one piece, actually. Just grounded. We're still working out the fuel situation, but I figured you might enjoy getting your feet off-world again. You know, theoretically speaking.
[ Is he also curious about her powers vs. the ship? Absolutely. ]
[And, because she's sure he's thinking it or at least curious about it she will take that dangling bait.]
What sort of fuel does she use?
[Ohhh no she's gonna get nerdy all over your ship, John. Because lbr depending on fuel source they can probably do a retrofit of some sort. She doesn't mind being a battery for the greater good.]
The usual kind. Back home, anyway. Not so usual here. But I figure we could test some new sources, see if we can't get a conversion going.
[ So here for getting nerdy. ]
How about we hit two birds with one stone? You bring the food, I bring the ship. [ A beat. ] Except for the part where you'd have to come to her, obviously.
[She is definitely going to just pack her phone into the bathroom to test that bathwater with one hand while she holds the phone in the other. Perfect temperature? Perfect temperature.]
Deal. Give me a location and-- mmm, ninety minutes?
ok with action here or i can pm you when i get a log catch-all up!
[And then she's blowing a kiss at the camera and disconnecting because she is going to enjoy the hell out of this bath and then do that vaguely domestic dinner thing.]

I love slabs of protein. Do I have to sign a waiver?

Only every other Tuesday. It's all very meta, comes with the superhero gig.
[She wiggles her fingers demonstrably. But hey, ship!! Ships are exciting and she is out-of-this-world (ha) happy for him.]
Your girl, hm? All in one piece? Or is that the guinea pig part of the equation?
