...due to transdimensional flux [audio/action]

[Sometime later on Sunday, another space ship falls out of the sky and lands in the parking lot. Except this one is not nearly as big and does not look anything remotely like a space dong. It looks more like an orange... helmet? A lady steps out, grumbling to herself, donned in some kind of army or military attire

[He shrugs.]

I'm buying.

[n_objections]

[She has. All the conflicted faces. Like "that is A Really Nice Thing she wouldn't expect from someone like him", and "that is Too Nice of a Nice Thing", and "no you smell she is a strong independent woman who can buy her own damn breakfasteses". She crinkles her nose and decides to stuff her hands in her pockets and starts walking, but slowly, waiting for him.]

What are you going to get?

[colonel_falcon]

[Another SHRUG. He catches up to her and deliberately matches her pace.]

I hadn't thought about it.

I like birdseed parfait space rations steak and eggs.

[colonel_falcon]

I'm sure we can find a place.

A bus diner that is your soon-to-be undercover coffee shop. How do you set yourself on fire?

[colonel_falcon]

How do you pull that robot suit out of your ass?

[n_objections]

I'm not authorized to tell you that.

[colonel_falcon]

I'm authorizing you to tell me that.

[n_objections]

Authorization denied.

I bet you're made out of phosphorus.

[colonel_falcon]

You're not authorized to deny my authorization. As your acting superior, you are ordered to tell me.

I'm not made out of phosphorus. It's mostly emotional and hormonal, from what I know.

[She puts a finger to her lips in thought.]

So I must of made you pretty ticked out there, huh?

[colonel_falcon]

[He shakes his head. Nice try.]

No. When I was younger it used to happen when I was angry or scared, but now I can do it whenever I want. It's like breathing.

Your turn.

[n_objections]

You? Get scared?

The Power Suit is biotailored just to me. It was a gift from my adoptive parents, the Chozo. They said I'm supposed to be a protector of the galaxy, just like them.

[colonel_falcon]

Kids get scared.

That explains your special little wondertrooper syndrome.

[Deep down the whole idea is pretty scary and overwhelming if she thinks about it too much. There is no way she is going to confide that in him, however. POUT AND LOOK AWAY.]
