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...

	"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)

	"There, see? I can actually be useful," she smiled, propping her chin up on her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looks confused. "Did I ever imply you weren't useful?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"...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)

	"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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"..it's not something I've really been overly concerned with." He takes another bite. Yes, concentrate on nourishment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's because you hide out in your lab too much. I might have to join forces with Sylvie and work on dragging you out more. We're not all bad, you know." Mmm... for someone who didn't cuddle much, he was perfect for cuddling with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-10 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"I never implied that you were bad.." he sighs. There's a slight twitch in his eye, but he does his best to hide it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-02-10 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I know, Fred. I'm not saying you did. But, you live here with a bunch of people, now. We'd like to see you. Maybe go do things. If you're not up for being around 'normal' people, we can find something to do around here. Spending all your time in the lab isn't good for you, sweetie. Fresh air and all that junk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-02-10 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	He turns slightly so he can see her from the corner of his eye. "What is that you keep calling me? Sweetie? What does it mean?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sweetie? It's a term of endearment. An affectionate way to address someone other than the more formal usage of their name. There's a bunch of them, like 'sweetie', 'honey', 'dear', 'angel', 'sugarlips', 'babycakes'... to name a few. It really depends on what the person calling you's more comfortable using. See, I've never gotten the whole 'calling someone muffin' thing, but some do it." She tipped her head up so she could smile at him.

	"I see.." and he fights the impulse to blush. "..you really haven't known me that long, have you? To be..endeared by me? That's probably not the correct phrasing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aha! But see, you obviously don't know me well enough if you think time has anything to do with how much I can heart someone. You're Sylvie's cousin, which makes you automatically awesome. You're a mutant - another plus. You're shy, sweet and in need of coddling. I love to coddle. And I'm an affectionate person. All's I need is a good enough excuse to be affectionate." She continues to beam up at him.

	"I admit I am socially inept, but I am certainly not sweet nor do I need 'coddling'," he huffed, his pride a little wounded. "I've dissected cadavers, Sasha..recently dead. I am not a sweet person." He wasn't bragging or being cruel, but stating facts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Mm, and I've made someone's head explode - in self defense. Doesn't make me a bad person." She brushed her cheek over his back, giving him another squeeze before letting him go. "And coddling is just as much for me as it is for you. Also, all the denial in the world isn't going to make me think you're not sweet, Fred. It's too late for that. You rescued me in the middle of a chocolate-related emergency. I have massive hearts for you. Now, finish your food. It never tastes as good cold."
