She gives a small chuckle, but there's not much humor in it.

"I'll work on that."

She lets the silence fall over them for a while, taking solace in his belief in her again. Then, leaning towards the pile of papers she'd been working on - ignoring any protests he might have and ruining what would have been an enjoyable view for him if not in a hospital gown - she plucks one of the origami birds from the smallest pile. It was the ones with either no rot at all or only a small spec at an edge or two.

It had writing on it, but he'd have to unfold it to see everything on it. He could make out a few words and some doodles on the visible planes. At least it was a blue ink instead of boring black. There was no rot.

"This one's for you."

"Oh?"

He'd take it and look at it. Noting the writing.

"Am I supposed to unfold it?"

She shrugs, trying not to make too much of it.

"Nah, but you did help me with getting my shit together and stuff. Plus I like you, so you know, a gift instead of a fist or something." She's joking. Sort of.

"If you unfold it, I'm not folding it back." It's not a no.

He'd look at it.

"Cool. Thank you. That's really sweet of you."

He'd unfold it later.

Who knew you could be so proud of a piece of paper with poetry and doodles on it. Well, mostly because it's not a rotted piece of paper, and she silently thanks the power for it.

That's going to take some getting used to.

"Welcome." She wiggles her fingers. "Sadly, no magic. Just good ol' skill and boredom."

"Nope," she agrees, happy to return to their usual dynamic as she sits back against the pillows. "Lady Reaper works better when you don't see her coming."

God dammnit, Eric. She did not just refer to herself in the third person by that super hero name! She looks downright mortified.

She can't help but laugh as Eric joins in the ridiculous banter. Of course he's super into it. She lifts the top blanket and gives it a light toss to fluff-bop him with it in the face.

"Dork." Look at that affection. It's almost like not being around assholes all day does her some good.

"Maybe." Maybe is the new yes, especially with that grin as she replaces the blanket and smooths it back out.

"Seriously though, thanks for thinking of me."

"Well I mean, it's not a big deal. She didn't have anything to trade for me anyways."

He'd try and wave it off.

"Classified."

He'd open up a portal and pulls out some sunglasses.

She snorts but doesn't push. They all had their secrets.

"Fine, fine." She squints at the sunglasses. "That should be part of the unifor--" DAMMIT ERIC.

"Oh the sunglasses I have for the uniform will look way cooler than this!"

Meaning way flashier.

"You've already thought it out." Of course he has. It's not even a question at this point.

She grabs the notebook she's been using and a pencil and hands them to Eric. It's sharing time.

"Share." She still holds onto them for now, but after a moment, if he doesn't take them, she'll put them back.

"Or talk to me about them. I'm cool either way." Embrace her accepting this, Eric. You may never get another chance.
