"Oh..."

He didn't know people had a problem with that.

"Well, I mean. I'm sure the scientists know what they are doing. Right?"

He trusted them.

"But anyways. Would a straw help? Less of it would touch your mouth and stuff then. Right?"

"..."

Rebecca stares at him.

"........."

It's possible her brain might have broken. She opens her mouth to speak, but shuts it when nothing comes out.

He just looks down at his soup and slowly tries a sip of it. It was good!

"This isn't bad."

That got her.

"Glad you like it." She gives him a small smile and stands to her feet. "'Scuse me for a second." She comes back a moment later with a straw, awkwardly managing, "Thanks, by the way." Before taking another, more merciful drink.

"No problem. Just trying to help."

He took another spoonful of soup.

She spends another minute kicking herself and trying to remember if they'd tried straws int eh past and she just couldn't remember. She probably kept losing them.

After a moment, she looks at Mike and tries to pick up conversation again, just a little. "Did you at least have someone there in case things went really wrong?"

"I think that might be best for next time."

Considering how things ended up last time.

"Next time." She blinks. "You let someone attempt to blow you up and didn't think it woudl be a good idea to have some sort of backup if things go wrong?" She shakes her head and takes another sip of the slushie.

"We may not have that available on missions if things go wrong, but it wouldn't hurt to use the resources here while we can." She's worried about him more now than when the conversation started.

"I...wouldn't say that." She shakes her head, remembering her previous encounters with Silas. It was hard to believe they'd sort of - sort of - gotten along for maybe three sentences. Maybe. Silas probably wouldn't give him backup unless he was going to be accused of murder or something.

"Just keep it in mind, okay? Please?"

"Good." She smiles, shoulders relaxing as she leans back in her chair to stretch as best she can without smacking into anyone who might be passing by.

"Sorry," she adds with a sheepish laugh. "Paradigm's the first place I've had good friends in a long time. Guess it makes me a little protective." And a worrier.

He smiled.

"Don't worry about me. I'm tougher than I look. I'll be fine."

"I remember." She doesn't elaborate the cause of her worry beyond that. The logical part of her knows they need practice for real missions and worst case scenarios, but she pushes the idea away for the sake of not wanting needless waste in terms of how many agents are around.

A blue aura would surround him with it's gentle glow. He'd hold out an arm toward her.

"You can hit me again if you want to test it."

He sounded serious!

See what happens when you encourage her, Mike? Here she goes, hitting you and Silas, throwing pillows at Clyde when he's drunk...the scandal will outrageous.

She pauses a moment, looking around to see that there's plenty of room and no one in particular looking their way. Granted, there may be security cameras, but if they missed the glowing aura around his arm and the offered limb, then they were shoddy cameras and should be replaced immediately.

With a small intake of breath, she brings her fist down on the aura around his arm, hitting it with teh side of her hand.

Each time it was like hitting a tree. Solid and he showed no sign of any pain.

"See. All good. You can't get through my shield."

"Yep. Still solid." She shakes out her hand and shakes her head.

"Sorry. Guess I sound kind of silly right now, huh?"

"Thanks." She wonders if he's humoring her, but Mike's never really lied to her, so why start now when there was nothing to gain other than a few brownie points? She'd like to think she knew him better than that, anyway.

"So did the shields last afterward?"

"After the explosions? They started to crack during them. The fall finished it off. Too much too soon. But as you can see."

He held his arm up again.

"It always comes back."

"They'd better." She looks outside, then to her food and back to Mike.

"You wanna go out for a walk or something after this? I think I could go for not being trapped in by four walls for a bit."

If they have no other interruptions, then they head out whenever they finish.

Mike takes his dish back to the sink and offers to take hers as well. Once all was said and done they were out! He'd walk with her content with the silence unless she decided to talk.
