[oh her gosh. these two were so, so super cute and Lina could barely take it. but the way Jen was bringing this kind of thing up so casually reminded Lina of something that Vera had told her about Jen's—Yang's powers. and that was definitely worrying. she'd probably have to deal with that later, if Kara didn't keep her girlfriend in line enough on her own.]
So I guess none of us can get hurt like that anymore... [no she definitely had not brought that up before now. time to gloss over it with a playful lilt to her voice.] I'm still with Kara, though. Don't do things that hurt just to prove a point to me about how cool you are.
[ Jen gives Kara a look, but Lina doesn't even seem to skip a beat thereafter. that makes two of them, and it's a little unfair. Jen sticks her tongue out momentarily before shrugging it off with a blush. ][ she goes for dumping a healthy pile of strawberries into her bowl and then mixes it all together. ]
Milchreis! Or if you don't want to say it like that, milk-rice. [she puts the proffered strawberry carton back down and lifts her own bowl.]
It's rice pudding, basically. Just something sweet to start the day. I was going to make something with a little more protein in it, but then we suddenly had company and I realized we were definitely not going to be working out for a while.
[see, she could talk about everything that went into making the milchreis, breaking down what she put into it to make it this sweet, but then Kara just. distracts her.]
That can't be all the exercise I get. Unless you're planning on making it a three-times-a-week thing, and I have stamina, but that's a little much even for me.
Oh, trust me, Kara. [and at this point Jen might as well not even be here.] Calling what that other Lina was wearing a "costume" was a stretch. She was so distracted she didn't even notice I don't dye my hair for another couple weeks after that.
[ oh no. once the word "dye" leaves Lina's mouth, she knows what was to follow, and aims to clasp a hand over her mouth. if she's lucky, maybe her hands will be full and she can't stop Jen from doing so. ]
[Lina mutters her way through the rest of the sentence with Jen's hand on her mouth, and ends up bending at the waist and stepping backwards with laughter rolling from her lips.]
For real. I don't remember a lot of the details, but I remember standing here in the kitchen wearing absolutely nothing but a chef's hat to surprise Jen when she came home. And your viking costume was... Halloween? Or just for fun?
[ and it's in Lina managing to get the rest out that leaves Jen feeling like she owes Kara more to that explanation. ] Look, she basically dared herself into doing it!
[ as for the other question... ] Youdon'thavetoanswerthat!
[Stepping over to Jen, from behind, she pulls her partner into a hug. Tight, gentle, and she even makes the effort to kiss the shoulder of the kigu.]
Babe, it's okay, I'm not judging you. You...clearly have a clothing kink, and that's cool. There's nothing to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about. I'm happy to oblige you, so relax, okay?
[aww, see, this is cute. this is what relationships should be like, in Lina's eyes. friendly and playful and affectionate. it's enough to make her heart swell and her eyes crinkle.]
It isn't like it's weird. And we wouldn't be in a place to judge you even if it were. Isn't that right, Kara?
[watch as Lina rolls manipulation to try to get Kara to say her kink first. because Lina doesn't have a good answer.]
Clearly? [ Jen snorted. ] Okay, listen, it was one time. Each. [ so okay, she'll admit that much. she turns and pokes at Kara's forehead. ] And beside, who agreed to it anyway? [ then she points to Lina. ] And who dressed up instead of laughing it off like I expected?
[ Jen stuffed another mouth full of her breakfast. smugly. or something. check and mate, ladies. ]

I mean...I'd rather you not get hurt, babe. Even if it doesn't leave a mark. I kinda like it when I'm the one that does that and not a bowl.
[heh...]

[They know. Even if you're often super lame, Jen.]
So what is this again, Lina?

no subject
And just because it's delayed doesn't mean you're off the hook. We'll have to work twice as hard to work this off. [ Jen is joking. mostly. ]

Let her have a day off, haha.

she needs a cold drink of water from the tap now, and maybe then she can say something. ]

Is she not the cutest when she's flustered like that?

[she remembers those emotions very well, and she gives Jen another look to gauge her reaction.]

Oookay! I think we all get the picture!?!

I think you've answered it for me.

And every time I wear my hero costume? Jen...I agreed to it because you clearly liked it.
[She leans in, smugly smirking...]
Maybe I'd like to get you in a costume sometime too, though.
no subject
[she's just fine watching Jen and Kara be the cutest and best girlfriends ever, though Kara raises an interesting point.]
What would you end up wearing?
no subject
And... I don't know! [ fidget. ] It'd probably be something spontaneous. If it happened at all.
no subject
[Kara, shamelessly, splays a hand against Jen's stomach, running it up and down gently.]
I like seeing all your hard work up close.
