Well, it's not ending life on earth. [ That she knows of. ] And besides, even if I could, why would I want to? There's no fun in that.

Let me actually read your file, then we'll get a plan together. Though not being able to freeze the planet solid is a good sign for getting them back sooner rather than later.

And not wanting to. Remember that, too.

[Finger gun, wink.]

So tell me about this friend of yours ... besides the potential to usher in a new ice age, what else can he do? Is he cute?

[notrosecolored]

Given where we are, not wanting to might actually be more important.

[The fingergun and wink almost makes him want to laugh, but he saves himself from that at the last minute - mostly because trying to decide if Bobby is 'cute' breaks his brain. ]

That's like asking me if my brother is cute.

See? I'm not nearly as bad as half the nutjobs on this boat.

Oh, come on. You've got --

[ A curious headtilt, and she leans in a little closer, to peer at him more carefully. ]

[ He's blinking a lot behind his glasses - not that she can see that, but it's not a question he expected. He should have. He didn't. He's apparently gotten too used to the barge.

Yes, yes I can see.

Hey, you never know. The other guy with the red glasses can't. I don't know if it's a whole Thing or not.

[If she could blush, she probably would be.]

Anything else you need to know?

[ Matt's glasses are red? Okay then. He shakes his head slightly. ]

No. I'll read through the file and see what's there, then we can catch up again.

Fine with me. [She's playing it casual, but man, she is anxious about someone reading that thing. She doesn't even know what's in there.] Maybe you can even tell me what it says.

[notrosecolored]

After I've read it, I'll give it to you so you can read it, too. [ It's hers. That's only fair. ]
