[The closer she is, the more she can enjoy his Axe body spray. Aww yeah.]

I was around 10 or so. A friend of the family [and by that he means Alfred] took me out to get a light saber. I wanted to dual wield light sabers instead of my current weapons, but it's not as easy or practical as it looks. [Snickers.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Now that you mention it, she does happen to catch a wiff of it as he speaks. Very nice.]

You don't say?

Maybe you just weren't taking your metachlorian supplement pills. I heard that makes all the difference.

[allthesensors]

[Lightly baps himself on the head with his free hand.]

I knew I was forgetting something. Think they sell those here as wholesale?

[backwordscompatible]

[She reaches up with one hand to lightly pat him on the head.]

There, there. I'm sure we'll find it somewhere on the ship.

Probably right next to the Shark Repellent.

[allthesensors]

...Do you think there are actually jedis out here?

[He was a comic book character in one world, there were Pokemon here...why not jedis?]

[backwordscompatible]

Hmm. Wouldn't surprise me, really. Not after all the things we've already seen.

[Glances up at him from her leaning position]

Technically, I can already do the Jedi Mind Trick.

[allthesensors]

[Looks down at her and smirks.]

Oh yeah? Let's see one in action.

[backwordscompatible]

[She mockingly pouts]

I already showed you. Remember the robot scientist in prison?

Tell me that wasn't a little Force right there.

[allthesensors]

How do I know that wasn't a fluke? Only one way to find out...what am I thinking right now?

[backwordscompatible]

Rude. I got him to spill the beans, didn't I?

[But she's smiling all the same as she sits up, twisting around so that she's sitting on her knees, facing him]

Llet em tahw er'uoy gnikniht~

[Translation: "Tell me what you're thinking"]

[allthesensors]

[Whoops. He thought she was going to amuse him and make something up.]

That I'm really feeling the aster when you're this close to me and smiling like that.

[Smiles and then his eyes widen.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Consider that bluff called. Very successfully called.]

Told you.

[allthesensors]

Point made. No more questioning your Jedi Mind prowess.

[backwordscompatible]

I'm glad we had this conversation

[She settles back into a different position now, leaning against the back of the couch rather than partially on him, legs tucked beneath her]

...hey, wait, I thought Han shot first?

[Raises an eyebrow at the movie; folding her arms in amused protest]

[allthesensors]

[Gosh, sure got spacey up in this couch.]

Sorry, what now? [Glances back over at the television screen.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Oh, don't mind her. Once she's certain he won't be able to hear her heart beating a little faster from that 'demonstration', she'll probably get cozy again.]

Don't tell me you've never heard of the Han Shot First debate?

[allthesensors]

I have I was just...distracted for a moment, that's all. [Clears his throat.]

[backwordscompatible]

Is that so?

[From this angle, she's able to rest her elbow on the back of the couch, placing her head in one hand. Her attention is equally divided between the movie and Robin]

I've heard I can have that affect on people.

[Pause]

...when I hex them, I mean.

[allthesensors]

[For a second his mind slips over to Wally and he wonders if that who she initially meant. Though really, at this point he can't get too worked up over that. He went out on another date himself.]

I'll take your word for it.

[Flicks his gaze back over to the television screen, so he can push away those potentially awkward inducing thoughts and roll with the jokes being made on screen.]

[backwordscompatible]

[...well, crap. That wasn't the reaction she'd been hoping for. It only dawned on her after the fact that maybe things weren't quite as aster between them as she'd first thought. Not yet.]

[Shoulders slumping, her voice softens]

I didn't mean it like that, Robin.

I was just joking.

[allthesensors]

[Dick looks over at her and shakes his head.]

Sorry, I was just having a lame moment. I know you were.

[Offers her an encouraging smile.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Looking more than a little relieved, she leans in just enough to kiss his cheek, much as he had done to her before. Only lingering just a little bit longer so she can murmur:]

I'm sorry too.

I guess I should really watch what I say sometimes.

[allthesensors]

[There's that sheepish grin again and there's some color in his cheeks.]

You can say whatever you want because you're doing that whole distracting thing again.

[backwordscompatible]

Am I?

[A soft giggle. Not yet pulling away.]

Is that a good thing?

[allthesensors]

[Turns his face to the side and their noses are almost touching as he looks at her.]

Definitely.
