So, I saw you have your very own room on the Tourist now. Congratulations. [She'd been checking the manifests more regularly because of Logan, but that can stop now. He's gone.]
Oh yeah! Thanks - [ he smiles, he hasn't really moved out of kara's office yet, because it's just easier to fall asleep on his work. ] I was gonna tell you but I...forgot. [ as she can see from his familiar surrounding ]
Be good not to sleep in the same room with project Plato, radiation suit or not. And -- it'll be -- a lot better, when you visit.
[ would it have spared him the awkwardness that happened last time? he's not sure. but at least then he wouldn't feel bad about making kara uncomfortable in her space. ]
I could visit now. [It just kind of slips out before she realizes she's just inviting herself over and he's busy and just... But she misses him and video messages kind of suck.]
I mean, you know, I don't have to. [The awkward was contagious!]
[ the time it takes her to arrive, he spends trying to put some order in his work-chaos. when she knocks, he'll be holding up her dress - that he was just about to hang to keep it from wrinkling.
he opens the door with a smile. ]
You make really good time. [ he may just be flattered. ]
Alleged secret dancing ninjas. You can't even keep your story straight, and I'm not sure it counts as alleged if you are the one alleging it. [She steps inside letting the door shut behind her.]
That dress looks really beautiful, Winn. [She's genuinely touched that he's done all this for her.]
Think about it, if a ninja's really good at their job, there's only one way for rumors to start - [ start them yourself! his logic is airtight.
his laughter fades into a warm smile, as he hands her the dress to look over ]
I'm really glad you like it. I - have one more thing for you. I was gonna save it for right before the masquerade, but...it might be dumb, so you'd want to just take it home instead of being stuck with it at a party.
[ he rummages around in one of the drawers and pulls out a box, wrapped with a blue ribbon he made himself. he hands it to her. ]
Corsages are probably more appropriate, but I figured - [ inside, she'll find a simple metal slinky. ]
[She gently touches the fabric and is impressed by just how perfect it all looks. She doesn't really know much about clothing but she's sure if she made something herself you'd be able to tell. This just looks beautiful. She hangs the dress up before accepting the box looking touched already before she's even opened it.] Winn, you've already done so much you didn't have to get me anything. [She notices the ribbon is even her favorite color which of course he knows what that is now.]
I guess I should open it? [How do you even with this much thoughtfulness? And if she thought she was overwhelmed just getting a gift in general she has no idea what to feel when she sees the slinky. Her breath catches and she can feel tears trying to come through, burning at her eyes. She just holds the box and slinky tightly in one hand as she throws her arms around him in a hug. Words are too hard. It's just a slinky but it's the thought and the feelings and it's just a lot.]
I wanted to. [ he watches her open it with anticipation. his best case scenario was a laugh, a witty quip, and one of those genuine smiles he's becoming way too attached to seeing on her.
but he'll happily take the hug, and return it warmly. ]
I guess you like it - [ right now, he has an intense desire to go back in time and congratulate his past self for an excellent idea. ]

[ he tries to return the look, but the result is more flustered-enthusiasm than provocation ]

How's your shoulder? [Not that she expects anything wrong after days have passed and it was just a bump.] It didn't fall off did it?
Video
Still attached!

It's - ready and willing. [ the able part depends on what those plans are, ok. he's not actually a dance ninja. ]

Kitty, I'd really like it if you visit. Now that - this is properly my ship too - you have an open invitation.
[ screw busy. she's more important than a costume - and coming from him? that means a lot. ]
