[ no ur gross. well except that he does want to tap that, but that's jack to like... most attractive ppl so ]

You're alright company, but I won't hold taste against her. [ it's a joke, dude ] She just seems pretty invested. I wouldn't want to see what disappointment looks like on her.
[ btw he's her rovermate, not just randomly watching alina get ready for a date ]
[ He doesn't reply right away. He doesn't grace the disappointment part with an answer at all, because why would he disappoint her? As far as he's aware, he cares about this more than she does. As such: ]

Does she? That's more than I expected, but thank you. It's good to know.
I would ask you to watch out for her, but actually she's more likely to take care of you. Alina is not someone I would want to hurt, Jack. You needn't be concerned about that.

Alina's a kind girl. Be a gentleman.

You're implying she'd let me get away with being anything else.

Attempts alone wound enough. But no, I doubt she'd let you. You know her from your homeworld?

I do. She's my friend, if you must know. If you're worried about me treating her poorly, you needn't be. I happen to be wonderful company.

She does. Even got dressed up. Looks nice. Is her hair naturally that color?
no subject
Unless she's changed it from brown, yes. Do I have to worry about your intentions, Jack?
no subject
You don't. Not my type. [ really not his type ] Just wanted to let you know. I haven't really seen her do this about something before.
no subject
You're her friend?
no subject
I'm her rovermate. We get along alright.

no subject
She does manage 'mother hen' very well. Or, at least, worrying. Either way, good to know. Have fun.
no subject
That means she likes you. Good to know you're looking out for her, all the same.
no subject
Then maybe you do have to worry.
[ gently jokes about stealin ur gurl ]
no subject
I'm not sure I like that. I never compete with anyone more attractive than I am, it's a personal rule.
no subject
Aw, I'm sure you'll grow into a beautiful swan someday, Sturmhond.
You're not that bad as is.
no subject
Such tepid sentiment. Still, I knew you had good taste hiding somewhere in there.
no subject
My taste is immaculate, it's not my fault I'm not sure you meet all my standards.
no subject
But apparently I do meet some of them. Interesting.
no subject
Some. Not many.
no subject
How sweet. Perhaps I’ll meet more of Alina’s. We’ll just have to see.
no subject
Here's hoping. I'd hate for you to waste her time.
no subject
If I did, she'd be the first to let me know. I think she deserves rather better than that.
no subject
Agreed. And hurry up, she's done getting ready.
