[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. ]
Oh my god... [ Kara she is TRYING to maintain COMPOSURE here and - wow it actually feels really interesting to have the soft, fuzzy fabric in between that hand and her skin and focus you useless lesbian.
AHEM. ] D-don't act like you're not interested. [ even as she leans back against Kara, there's a pointed look Lina's way. ]
I can give you privacy! Or you could always go to Jen's room if you don't want anime posters staring down at you the whole time.
[she's in maybe the brightest of spirits right now. yes, she knows what she's saying. she knows what Kara and Jen would be doing in her bed. she's... comfortable, though. she's fine with it, and it almost surprises her that she is. is this growth?]
[ okay this is too much. too much! she can practically feel the steam rising from her face. and were it possible, her hair might have just caught aflame like her cheeks at the implications here. Jen puts her bowl down so that she has enough hands to gently (but firmly!) pull herself out of Kara's grasp.
and, strangely enough, she finds herself moving behind Lina and using her like a shield. ] C-C'mon, you can't just throw me under the bus like that! I thought you were on my side, Lina?
[Kara lets her go, of course, and reaches for her own bowl of food, stuffing some casually in her mouth and chewing, watching Jen and Lina with some small sense of amusement.]
You can relax, Jen. I'm not going to go through Lina to get to you...but it's cute seeing you all blushy
[Lina's struggling to keep her composure and let Jen hide behind her, but hey, her whole deal is protecting people. might as well protect them from ridiculous goofy stuff, too, just like this situation happening right now. g-d, she loves her friends.]
I am on your side! But I'm also on the side of whatever's cutest. And right now, Kara's right. [she turns around to face Jen, but keeps her eye on Kara, too.] You two are probably my favorite couple in the whole city.

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?

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.

[Kara, shamelessly, splays a hand against Jen's stomach, running it up and down gently.]
I like seeing all your hard work up close.

Do you two need to go back to my bed for a few minutes?

[Kara doesn't stop, she hasn't been told no. Her hands continue to roam, one up and one down.]
I don't mind an audience, but I think Jen might be a bit too shy for that.
