[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?
