[Kara blushed hard, rubbing her lips together. She remembered... most of last night, slowly. It was a little blurry, but there. She crossed her arms over her chest. What if... Okay, she has to figure this out right now because Barry is saying that it was nice - and it was! but what if...]
[she sits down too hard next to Barry, super strength cracking the frame of her couch.] Shoot. [that was the third one]
[she put a hand on Barry's arm] Okay, I... yeah, I totally agree it was nice. Please don't think I don't. I had a really good time, but we were... wow, Barry, we were drunk. Are you sure... are you sure you're okay with what happened? Because I never would have... I mean. It's not like you could really consent, so...
[Most of last night is still filtering in and what Barry remembers? It was really nice. Shared laughter, soft lips, feeling normal even if they were drinking rum that would kill an ordinary human ten times over.
He startles a bit at the crack. Good grief. And he thought he was hard on furniture.
Barry chews absently on the corner of his thumbnail as she talks and he shakes his head.] Am I okay with kissing you? Yeah. I am. I don't regret it one bit. You're.. you're incredible. You're sweet and brave and smart and I am totally babbling again.
[Deep breath. Focus, Allen.] We didn't get any further than that and I'm glad. I mean, yeah, we were drunk, but we were smart enough not to let things get too far before we fell asleep.
Smart, maybe, but drunk and sleepy. I told you Aldebaran rum makes me sleep like [she snaps] that.
I'm just scared of what could have happened, I guess. But... yeah, I'm glad we... we stopped. [she licked over her lips, looking up at him again] So, we're both 100% sure that everything that happened was okay?
[Barry nods and after a moment's hesitation, reaches over to take her hand in his.] We're good. It was great, really.
Um. It was so great that maybe next time we could try it without the rum? Like, it was fun getting drunk, don't get me wrong, but maybe I could take you out on a date? [Wow. Super smooth, Barry. Good job.]
Barry's grin is immediate and bright. She said yes.] Well who's to say we can split it up? A little time on your Earth, then maybe you can visit mine? I know some great places we can check out.

Oh! Oh, yeah, sure. That'd... I'd like that a lot. [she grins, a bit impishly] Your Earth or mine?
