Space, you say? I suppose that is the one place I've never been able to visit. But there's no relics to to be found, are there? I'm not sure what's on that ship that will be able to hold my interest.

...I don't understand why you think that's so funny.

[ It's symptomatic of his face, Aberdeen thinks. It makes things complicated by default. ]

American?

[fortheglory]

Good guess.

[wiretap]

[ And cause Aberdeen doesn't know what boundaries are: ]

Are you attracted to him, sexually?

[fortheglory]

[ WHOA hello there personal question. ]

And what business is that of yours if I am?

[ subtext: maybe. ]

[wiretap]

[ Lara, meet Aberdeen. It's her modus operandi. ]

They share a face. It's relevant enough.

[fortheglory]

Right. Well, I assure you that even if I were, it's unlikely I'd attempt to get into anything with your colleague.

[wiretap]

He likes taking care of people. Smothering them, if he has to. [ She's not judging; it's just the way they are. ] He's not your type.

[ Aberdeen stares. Eventually: ]

What is yours like?

[fortheglory]

He's cocky. Arrogant. A bit selfish. [ 'a bit' is kinder than she'd typically be to alex, but, well, he did die. she turned back time and ended up saving his life, but still. ]

[wiretap]

[ A beat, another lapse of silence. ]

And what are you like?

[ Aberdeen imagines: 'much the same'. ]

[fortheglory]

[ a beat of her own. ]

Slightly less so. [ she has her own reasons for doing what she does, and while they're not for monetary gain, they're fulfilling for her in a different way, a way that she supposes is similar to why alex does what he does.

and she can't really deny that she's cocky and arrogant. ]
