[It's a conversation they're absolutely bound to have, especially the closer Lup gets to this certain someone, but they have all the time in the world for exploring those kinds of options later on. Right now, Lup's all too happy to just keep admiring that someone while the real focus of her attention falls on all on the wonderful man right in front of her.

It's still such an overwhelming feeling to be with Barry, even years and years after they got together. Lup never saw herself as someone who could commit in a serious relationship like this, and yet, here she was. Loving every moment of it.

Lup laughs at his yawn before untangling herself, slipping a hand down to intertwine their fingers so she could begin pulling Barry towards the door. She couldn't agree more, they need out now or half of their little found family is going to try and tag along. And Lup is just not having that tonight.] You don't have to tell me twice.

[It's easily the worst time of day to try and sneak out unnoticed, most of their teammates like to spend their late evenings socializing or playing cards in the main living space before finally hitting their beds hard, but Lup and Barry aren't amateurs at this either. A lot of late nights in the lab meant a lot of late nights holding back giggles on their way back to their room together, slipping in kisses along the way and avoiding the parts of the floor that creaked louder than others. Lup's pretty confident they can make it.]

[Who has excellent timing? THIS GAL.

Lucretia sort of half-knocks before just. Barreling on in, looking down at her notes and chattering a mile a minute about triangulation and environmental factors and increase in local activity and it just goes on and on until she actually glances up and. Stops.]

....am I...interrupting?

[... He hadn't even spoken of the devil that time. Devil had turned up at the mere thought.]

Uhh... [Barry clears his throat, squeezes Lup's hand apologetically as they stand there, caught in the process of stealthily leaving the lab. By the cause of Barry's guilty fascination.]

We, uh... We're just headin' out. Long day.

[Okay. Well. Lup will be the first to admit how very wrong she was in this instance. Here she was thinking they'd get out of the ship without running into anyone, but Lucretia just had to bust down the door and catch them before they even stepped a foot out of the lab. There's some kind of joke to be made here, but Barry squeezes Lup's hand and looks nervous--granted, he usually does. That's part of his charm--and the beginnings of an idea start to take shape in Lup's head.

Sure, she'd been looking forward to date night alone and there was no way she wasn't bullying Barry into rescheduling, but maybe dragging her girl along could end up being just as fun.

Lup shoots Lucretia a grin, curling and teasing, and presses up against Barry's side.]

Oh dag, Luce. Caught us right as we were about to go all stealth to get out of here and go make out at the lake.

[Lucretia is the most oblivious one, because her eyes get a little bit wider and her cheeks turn a little redder and she quickly drops her head and stares intently at her notes. She is not imagining her colleagues and crewmates making out. That would be rude.]

O-Oh! Oh, I'm, um...this can wait, I...didn't mean to intrude I can. Go. I can go.

[She is absolutely imagining them making out shiiiiit.]

Hey, no, c'mon Lucretia. It's okay. [Barry immediately feels bad as the young woman ducks her head and starts stammering, looking like she'd rather be anywhere but here--

-- until he really stops to pay attention to the energy, to Lup's mannerisms, to the color rising on the human girl's cheeks. Lup teasing a member of the crew isn't anything new. She's always teasing, pretty much, always joking and pushing buttons, but. There's something about the tone of her voice now that's different. Something about the way she presses up against him, making sure Lucretia can see. Barry's known Lup long enough now to tell when she's up to something.

He glances at Lup then, an open question in his eyes: Are you doing what I think you're doing? Because what he thinks she's doing is making his stomach do things he's positive stomachs shouldn't be doing.] You don't... You don't have to go, Lucretia, it's okay. Right, Lup?
