I was surprised when she asked if I would give her a tour of the tower, I had figured that had already asked someone else for a more in depth tour since I wasn't there for her introduction and all. I then discovered the regret caused by squawking hot chocolate as it started to burn against my skin a bit. I told her it was fine, and was way more embarrassed than I should've been when she commented on the stickers I had peeled off of everything. She proved to be even more intriguing when she revealed that she collected physical comic books, most people just get some version of digital ones if they get any.
"I have a feeling you and Chuck would get along rather well," I chuckled as I finished cleaning up my mess.
"Chuck?" she asked confused.
"Bouncing Boy" I explained simply, watching as she nodded in understanding. She got up and pulled a green cloth out of one of the more hidden pouches of her belt and went over to a sink to dampen it a bit before coming back and gently tilting my chin up with the tips of her pointer and middle finger of her other hand from where I was sitting and softly brushed the handkerchief against my cheek a couple of times. I blinked a bit, trying to figure out why she was wiping my cheek.
"Uhm, sorry" she said, blushing a bit, "you had a little, uh, grease on your cheek. Probably from something you were working on earlier" she said, straightening back up, the handkerchief tainted a bit darker where she had wiped it against my cheek.
"Uh, yeah, probably, thanks," I said, my cheeks feeling a little warmer than normal and turning my head toward the lab door as it swooshed open.
