[ going for a cheeky grin; he doesn't want her feeling like she has to do this. the last thing he wants is to be a burden, someone she feels she has to comfort and coddle (as unbelievably nice as her compliments are to receive). ]
Adorableness, huh? You think? I didn't have that one on the list. [Of course it was on the list.
And if it starts feeling compulsory she'll stop. But she likes talking to him and now she has an excuse to do it regularly. That doesn't feel like a bad thing. She wouldn't want him to feel like she thought he needed coddling though.]
[ what if he did notice? what if he's pretty damn happy about it? ]
Well, he just had his ego thoroughly fluffed, so he's feeling pretty good about himself. [ he laughs ] How's my - [ wait, picking just one adjective is insanely difficult right now. abort. abort. ] How're you? [ nailed it. that was absolutely smooth and seamless, yup. ]
Perfect. My evil plan is working. [It seems like he didn't suddenly get selective hearing lost and did, in fact, hear the "my."] I'm good. I just got a new book from the library.
There are. I'll pass it along if anything is particularly helpful. But if I'm honest this is the kind of thing I just read for fun anyway. [Even without Project Pluto, though she did try to find one the looked promising.]
I like my ideas to be generally good. I did read more about water and oceans when I was in an underwater prison. I guess this follows suit. You know, I don't actually think people should get abducted by mysterious overlords, but when they do it's nice to have a good library.
[He is almost relentlessly adorable and it gets him a laugh.]
I guess I really should have taken the time to attend one of those. I just really hate the name tags. There's never room to write my full evil title. The empress of evil and duchess of destruction...Kitty.
I was Sprite for a hot second, but as much as I wanted people to think the kind of ghost, everyone just thought the pop instead. Not that this strikes much fear into hearts, so probably not the best evil administrator name.
Maybe -- apparently in some world, Kara's a cartoon. I've been thinking, it's actually really possible that creators are just people who are more receptive to the multiverse and nothing's actually made up. Though, in this case -- the resemblance is mostly in the title, from the bits I remember.

Date: 2016-04-17 08:57 pm (UTC)Hey, there are a lot. I meant it's easy because I think it's one you're already aware of and don't dismiss completely.

Don't worry, I'll act surprised when it comes around.
[ it's going to make him just as happy if it's repeated. especially the great kisser part. ]
Maaaad acting skills over here. [ it's not a total lie! it's insane how bad he is ]

Date: 2016-04-18 05:57 am (UTC)How is my smart guy doing today? [Did she just say "my?" Yeah, it surprised her too. She's hoping you don't notice.]

What book?
Video
Date: 2016-04-18 12:09 pm (UTC)It's about astrophysics. Okay, so I make books sound very boring too.

Date: 2016-04-18 12:12 pm (UTC)[ nothing kills a vocation faster than boredom! ]
No, not at all - I've been trying to read up as much on the subject as I can get my hands on - any sun-related chapters?

Besides, we're actually flying between the stars -- reading up on them feels like a generally good idea.

It's the sort of thing you learn at evil-planning seminar.

Date: 2016-04-18 12:47 pm (UTC)You just need an alias - like 'Ghost' or 'Phase' or - something from the Cat Who Walks Through Walls that I really wish I'd read more recently -
[ because it couldn't have been more perfect a book to find an alias for her in if it tried. ]

Yeah it's a sci-fi classic - multiverse, time travel, all that good stuff. I read it when I was a kid.
