[It looks like Yang. But her hair is a mottled mess of splotchy puke green and clown orange.]

[She also looks mad as hell, if the little sparks flickering at the edges of her ridiculously ugly mane is any indication.]

You know what? All I wanted was one chocolate egg. Instead? I'm dealing with this.

[She points sharply at her hair, purple eyes flashing to red.]

So yeah, I'm not in the mood to put up with a lot of the usual stupidity this place cranks out right now! You need help? I've got your back. Give me a call, whether I'm on-duty in Nova or not.

But now is not a good time to go around being a public jerk, especially if it's on my turf. That's all the warning you're going to get.

[She snaps off the feed. ...Maybe someone should go toss her a chocolate egg. Tease about her hair at your own risk.]

Teammates not getting along?

[In-fighting can be a lot more stressful than taking down an enemy, she knows that much. She resolves to herself not to probe if he has another vague answer, but still, she doesn't want to seem like she just doesn't care either. He's a decent guy. He shouldn't be stressing himself if he doesn't have to.]

New guy rubbing people the wrong way, old friends seeing each other for the first time in a while ... kinda figuring out how the pieces fit back together. You know how it is.

[At least he's assuming she might. Weirdass circumstances, but general idea is pretty relatable, he thinks.]

Hmmmm...

[She props her elbows up on her knees. She's had a few moments like that, yeah. It can be awkward. Nice. Alienating. It got better after a while, but...]

Yeah. I think I've played those roles at least once before. Which one are you? New guy, old friend, or both?

[He sighs, looking down and scratching at the back of his head, gathering his thoughts for a moment - deciding what he wants to share before looking back at the screen.]

If I'm being totally honest ... little bit of both.

[She nods once, slowly. No wonder he's enjoying the time off to catch his breath and clear his head.]

Has that been going on for a while, or is it just kind of a recent thing?

Recent, but, uh ...

[He sighs.]

Please don't, like, get offended or anything this is just ... I'm still kinda figuring this stuff out, y'know?

I'm not offended.

[She shakes her head a little with a smile, as calm and relaxed as a girl can be.]

I'm trying to figure you out, is all. Some people need to talk out loud to sort out their problems. Some would rather be distracted, and hang out with good company until they feel better.

[Her wrist turns, metal palm opening with a light gesture.]

You're a good guy, Kon. And I don't like seeing my friends struggle with something that's hurting them. So if there's something I can do to help you get through this...whether it's listening, or playing video games, or getting something to eat, or punching out some criminal's lights...even if it's just to be there...

[Her hand falls back down as she shrugs.]

You don't have to deal with it on your own. Not if you don't want to.

[That's ...

[That's really, really sweet, is what it is.]

Thanks. [He smiles, easy and warm.] Seriously.

And for the record, you don't have to ride out the purple hair plague alone either. I'm down to do, y'know, whatever to help kill the time.

Egh...

[Her expression falls flat before she casts a sour look at her ugly mottled hair. So much for her 'best hair' nomination. She's about to wave it off and say she's fine...]

[...but maybe this his his way of reaching out, if he feels like he's at least helping someone. So she considers thoughtfully.]

...I guess it wouldn't hurt to find a hat for the week.

Or, I could see what passes for takeout and come your way? Get you back for the noodles?

[Her head drops as she chuckles. All right, she supposes she could use some company, especially after her fierce little proclamation. And if he's offering, well... It doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes, that's for sure. It'll be nice to spend some time with him.]

Actually? That sounds pretty good. Come on over. I'll uh...

[She looks to the side. He can't see it, but she can see some of Gwen's clothes in the hallway.]

I'll just tidy up before you get here.

Sounds good.

[He says with a chuckle.]

Any requests?

[She starts to speak, but stops, and thinks for a moment. 'Surprise me' is what she'd normally say, but if he's going to totally spoil her...]

Kung pao chicken. As spicy as it gets. Extra peanuts.

[There's a little grin that's on the verge of seeming shy, but in truth, she's very grateful. It's nice of him to go the extra mile for her when he's the one that's having a really tough time.]

Thanks, Superkon.

[She's having a really tough time. What the hell is he gonna do, skimp out? Not do something nice for the first friend he's made here?

[Not freaking likely.]

Anytime.

[Capped off with a wink. It's gonna hurt his wallet and it's very limited contents ... but worth it.]
