Bored and somewhat lonely, Sasha decided to go see just who she could find lurking around the mansion. Her hearing picked up ambient sounds, indicating there were a few options of who to bother. Eeny, meeny, miney, mo...

She has to laugh at that. "Well, I don't expect you to chew on a sprig of parsley, Fred. It's for flavoring. Considering how sensitive your palate probably is, I'll go light on them. As for the mushrooms, I'll pop them in anyway. If you don't like them, you don't have to eat them, but they're not bad when they're mixed in with other foods."

With that, she begins chopping, mixing and frying.

	He shrugs. "I doubt it will be significantly unpleasant." He takes advantage of her working to to place a pair of pills into his mouth, and swallows them down with some orange juice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So, if you don't mind me asking, what are they for? The pills...?" She's pouring the mixture onto the pan, dimming down the sizzle in the air with a thought so she can hear him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sighs. They lived under the same roof, she deserved to know. "How much has Sylvie told you regarding my mental state?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sasha believed in always being upfront, especially to someone's face. "That you have aggression issues because of what's been done to you. And that you're not completely stable. I have to say though," she said, flipping the omelette and setting the pan back down, "I haven't really seen anything to support that. You've been pretty quiet and all-around sweet every time I've seen you."

	He sniffs derisively. "That's because I've made it a point to take my medication. If I don't, it is not mere aggression one would have to worry about, but a form of insanity." Fred could be frank as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well then, I suppose it's a good thing I have a way to knock you flat on your ass if you start giving me crazy eyes." She grinned, popping a mushroom in her mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His eyes narrowed again, this time serious. "It's nothing to make light of. I have no desire to hurt anyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I know, Fred. I'm just adding levity to a 'serious' situation. One note from me, and you'll be off in la-la land, though, if you prefer, I can play a green one and have you too sick to attack someone. Or a blue one..."

She couldn't help the small smirk that curled her lips as she reached up and got out a plate for him. "I get that you have some bad stuff in your past, sweetie. Loads here do. And I appreciate you taking it, and your actions, seriously. But most of the people here can handle you, gently, if you get out of hand. I'm just letting you know that you don't have to worry about going all dark side on me. I'll make sure you get a nap and wake up less grumpy."

	"Oh," he says after awhile. "well..thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Any time." She slid his food in front of him, pulling up a stool to sit in herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sniffs it once, allowing his enhanced senses to savor the smells before taking a bite. He chews for a moment before replying, "It is good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	"There, see? I can actually be useful," she smiled, propping her chin up on her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-10 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	He looks confused. "Did I ever imply you weren't useful?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	"No. But maybe I'm making a point of expressing it so that you'll come out of your batcave a little more often and pester me to make you something half decent to eat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-10 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	"...you want me to pester you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Fred, I would love it if you pestered me." She beamed at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-10 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	And now Fred's thoroughly confused. "Ah..right, well..we all have our preferences." he takes another bite, really not knowing what to say. "It does seem to be a running trend. Sylvia, Cait, and now you, all trying to get me out of the laboratory." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe you should just give in to our demands. It'll go more smoothly that way. And of course, we know what we're talking about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not exactly homo-sapien friendly, Sasha," he says, indicating his backwards, amimal-like legs and his clawed hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	She huffed out a breath, hopping off the stool and coming around behind him - where she promptly wrapped her arms around his waist and gave a light squeeze, cheek resting on his back. "I don't know if you noticed, but this isn't exactly a Homo sapien environment, Fred. Hell, by our standards, you're cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-10 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	And he froze. "I.." Okay, he really didn't know how to respond to this. He wasn't accustomed to being hugged. In fact, only two people ever had, Sylvie..and now Sasha. "cool..not exactly something I ever considered myself to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Then maybe you need to start thinking outside of test results. C'mon, Fred. You got claws. Claws are great. And I bet you'd kick my ass in a race. So, how can you not be cool?" She kept her arms loosely wrapped around him, listening to the reverberation through his back as he talked. He could eat and be hugged... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-10 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Well I..the claws tend to be more a hindrance than help in regards to my work.." She's not letting go. This was..decidingly awkward..but strangely pleasant. "..I've never really tested my speed, but I know I have an above-average velocity." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	"So... they're not retractable? Aww, okay, I can see how that can be a bummer for delicate work. The legs, however, are totally in the cool category. Not only can you kick my ass running, you can probably jump higher. Well, from a standing position. Give me enough backflips to wind up momentum and I can get pretty high."
