Linnea!

[RELIEVED]

What's going on?

[wants_the_phd]

Two things!

Since I'm planning on taking up residence in the lab, I was thinking about getting a shower installed. How would you feel about that?

[notlikeotherhumans]

Oh! I'm okay with it either way, but should I take that to mean that it would be private only for you?

[wants_the_phd]

Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't bother asking about it. But it's your lab, too. So it'd be for both of us.

[notlikeotherhumans]

Then of course I would also find it convenient, and it only benefits me to accept it. Should I be helping with payment?

[wants_the_phd]

Nah, I'm gonna barter for it. I just wanted your permission.

Anyway, that was thing number one. Thing number two is, would you like to get dinner sometime? I feel like it's been a while.

[notlikeotherhumans]

Oh—really?

[Even over the phone, he tries to stop himself from looking too openly flustered, in case he's being seen through a magic mirror or something.]

I mean, yes! That sounds nice! In whatever... configuration!

[wants_the_phd]

Are you free tonight? We could meet at the restaurant. My treat.

[notlikeotherhumans]

Your treat? Tonight should be fine, yes!

[wants_the_phd]

Nice! Let's meet at the restaurant at dusk.

[notlikeotherhumans]

There's really no special occasion? But—either way! I'll be there! For sure!

[wants_the_phd]

If there needs to be a special occasion, then how 'bout we celebrate the completion of the lab?

[notlikeotherhumans]

That's a noble occasion if I've ever heard of one.

[wants_the_phd]

Right? The completion of a project we've been working on together since literally the day I met you.

Let's eat some food and be happy together.

[notlikeotherhumans]

[It does sound EXTRA cool and special, phrased that way.]

Then—I'll see you then, and we'll do just that.

[wants_the_phd]

Wonderful! It's a date! See you there.

[Her call blips out.]

[She'll be waiting for him at the restaurant, though. She's wearing the same thing as always, but it has fewer leaves and dirt stuck to it. Does that count as dressing up? Who can say.]
