Appreciate it. [ here they are at the kitchen and NO ONE DIED HERE, isn't that swell ] So, had anything in mind? I'll tell you right now, I am not a big cooking guy.
You joke, but it's not that bad an idea, even if it's a little bit high school. We don't know much about each other, though, apart from the superhero thing... What about truth or dare instead?
It's just... I don't know, it always felt too formal. Almost stuffy, you know? And after people calling me Lady Guinevere as a joke for the thousandth time, I was pretty ready for a nickname.
It's an old classic... about a circus. [ he grins, a bit, because. he knows ] The guy who took me in is not the best at emotions. I guess he wanted to make me feel better when I looked homesick early on in our partnership? So we watched it together.
