[ it's nice to have a morning to herself where she's not worrying about work or her animals or damian or anything else.

... okay, she's still worrying about damian, but that's kind of a constant these days.

in any case, it's the perfect morning for a flight and she's really enjoying the fact that she can just loop around the clouds lazily and - is that jaime? ]

If you're not careful, you're going to drop your bag!

[owwmyspine]

[kryptonian alert! a little too late - thanks, Scarab.

Jaime rolls halfway, looking up, blinking. admiring - just a little. flying blondes, okay. also, any cape who wears the s-shield on the regular is pretty good in his book so far.

he smiles.]

You think I'm not careful, now? That kind of hurts!

[supertorso]

[ she laughs and flies over so she's a little bit closer to him - no need to talk across the wind and all that. ]

Hey, it happens to all of us sometimes. First time I ever flew home from grocery shopping here, I spilled cans all over the sidewalk.

[owwmyspine]

And killed like five guys with tuna and Spam? Never caught that one on the news. [he tilts, bending his arm to let the bag straps slide to the crook of one elbow, freeing up his other arm.] But don't worry - [his free hand's fingernails extend a half-foot.] I got coordination backup. Comes with the whole suit.

[supertorso]

That's because there were no deaths. ... Unless some birds ate canned green beans and got sick. [ she laughs a little and stares at his... fingernails... in fascination. ] That is one amazing suit.

[owwmyspine]

[gawrsh. fingers retract, letting him rub at the back of his neck sheepishly.] Well, it's probably as close to awesome, Kryptonian superpowers as I'm likely to get. So it's cool. Thanks.

[supertorso]

No problem, it really is awesome. It's... organic, right? Not technologic? [ oh god someone stop her, she's in geek mode. ]

[owwmyspine]

Er, [he half-squints.] I guess it's...both? I mean, it's tech, but Scarab utilizes my body to...[wow. he realizes how weird it's sounding and it's already half-out.] It's kind of both! Yeah. Let's just say that and spare the T-M-I. [because he isn't in the market to gross out superchicks...]

[supertorso]

Okay, that's... [ her face scrunches up a little as she smiles ] really gross, but really cool at the same time.

[ she pauses and then realizes, oh. that's a backpack. ] I'm not randomly interrupting plans or anything, am I?

[owwmyspine]

Huh? Oh, no! I'm just on my way to class. [he jabs his thumb in the direction they're going.] I go to this one kind of up-state right now...Just like a class or two most days, so I'm never gone that much.

[supertorso]

Oh, cool! I thought about maybe trying to take some college classes, but my experience with schools on Earth has generally been... [ oh, how to put this? ] Less than pleasant.

[owwmyspine]

Sssss...omething tells me that's referring to more than the typical suck of school. [he squints, not feeling out the vibe very well. is it a pry or not-pry situation? he's not sure. pass the ball to her - safest way to know.]

[supertorso]

Let me put it this way... my friend Boomer, when he was giving me the 'this is what you need to brace for when you go to high school' spiel, told me to watch a bunch of prison films. And it wasn't totally inaccurate. [ catty teenage girls suck 8( ]

[owwmyspine]

Eesh. [he's imagining worse than catty teenage girls.] So that's pretty much it for school and you?

[supertorso]

Pretty much. I learn quicker on my own, anyways. ... Though that might have something more to do with the superpowers than it does schooling.

[owwmyspine]

Super-learning? [tilting his head.] Or do you just mean, like...I dunno, hands-on, learning-to-not-die-while-something-is-trying-to-make-you-die learning?
