The way there's a pause, a catch, before the word piques her interest. "Friends?" she asks, and then her tone changes, grinning, a saucy eyebrow raised. "Or friends?"
"Oh! Special friends." She sits back in her seat, looking for all the world like the cat that got the canary. "You know, I always thought he had a type. All ... lean, dark-haired and heroic." She traces an absent pattern on the tabletop, frost spreading in the wake of her fingertip, and asks her next question with wide-eyed faux innocence. "Is he any good?"
And if she knew he was thinking of Mick, she'd laugh out loud. Scott does seem to have more than a few things in common with Barry, though, and everyone knows Snart had more than a crush on him.
But she doesn't know that, so she just smiles and nods in his direction. Points for him. "That's fair. Besides, he must be, if you've done it more than once, right?"
She looks him over appraisingly, and gives him a nod of approval. "There's no way you'd be desperate. You know how gorgeous you are, right? I'd be surprised if half the hellboat hasn't tried to climb you like a tree."
Apparently I lost this - I'm sorry (feel free not to continue if you'd rather.)
He laughs, and shakes his head. "There's a different between attractive and climbable, but... thanks." He's actually less awkward about this. It's not entirely lacking, but hey. He does, at least, recognize that he is physically good looking, and can recognize a compliment when he hears one. Even if he can't quite just say 'thank you' like a normal person.
omg don't worry about it the other one was more intense
She raises an eyebrow, but shrugs like it doesn't quite matter. "I mean, I would," she says with a small grin. She probably won't, on account of him being in Snart's bed, of all places, but she would.
We're not gonna talk about how desperate she is.
Re: omg don't worry about it the other one was more intense
"I really doubt you're going to have any trouble at all finding someone to climb like a tree. Or into bed with," he says, after a slightly awkward and confused pause. See also the difference between being attractive (he is) and desirable (he isn't).
He isn't actually blind though, she is gorgeous and he knows this ship. She doesn't really need to get desperate. Or at least doesn't need to stay that way for long!

Re: Private Voice. -> Spam
Last name usage, at least, doesn't strike him as even remotely strange. It's common in his reality and, truthfully, a bunch of people onboard's.
"He's not harassing me. We're... friends."

Re: Private Voice. -> Spam
This is so, so, extremely awkward.
He's always awkward but this is more awkward, for so many reasons, not including superficial similarities to Emma.
"Um." Eloquent, Summers. "Friends who have sex?"

"That's pretty subjective." And also none of her business.
