Me too. [ She pulls him into a tight hug and because she's extraordinarily bad about talking or coping with her own feelings. ] I like Conner for just Conner. [ like it's that simple. ]
Honestly ... the orc voice you did was weirding me out a little. [ she confesses. Out of all the Mighty Nein she's mentioned extensively - the stories she's told Kon - except for any involving Fjord. It was silly. And she herself doesn't know why she hasn't mentioned it. ]
You sounded like this boy I really like. [ a beat. ] He's part of the Mighty Nein, too. Like me and Molly. His name is Fjord and he's going to a really great mage one day. He was a sailor in Port Damali. He went adventuring me when I had no one else.
[ she shakes her head. ]
Anyway, but Fjord is Fjord. And you're different. And it's not fair for me to ask you to do that voice.
Oh. [A beat.] Oh, shit, Jester, I'm ... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to ...
[It's pretty clear in his tone that he's not feeling any kind of personal affront - like he doesn't suddenly feel like he's playing stand-in or anything like that. He just feels bad that he's suddenly churned up a whole ton of complicated feelings and dumped them square in her lap.]
I'm okay! [ because she's Jester and she's always okay.
She's going to take the moment to try to drag Kon on the bed. Moving the plate of donuts (now stale) to the side of her bedside along with some art stuff. She flops down on her bed and pats the space next to her. ]
Don't worry about it! Let's get back to making out, yeah?
[He chuckles, leaning down over her and pressing a kiss over the flat of her stomach. He shifts forward, the front of his body slowly gliding over hers. He plants another kiss between her breasts and under her chin before he kisses her. It's gentle, lingering, but ultimately a quick little one he leans back just a little.]
Trust me, Jester, I like you just fine the way that you are.
[ she insists before dipping down and leaning into that kiss. Kissing Conner was always pleasant - just easy and sometimes - it was an anchor to all the chaos of this realm. ]
[Seems to kinda defeat the point, but Jester's determined so he just sighs again.]
Knockout. Her name was Knockout.
[He's just gonna ... roll off of her for a second and lie down on the bed next to her.]
She came from a really, really shitty place, and because I was young and stupid and she was hot as hell, I didn't notice she was actually a really, really shitty person too.
[He briefly remembers Kara yelling in his face about him running around with Knockout. Telling him he doesn't deserve to wear the 'S'.]
[ she crawls on top of him and pulls him into the tightest hug and presses a gentle kiss on Conner's forehead. ]
It's okay. Now you have ... [ she pauses to try to think of a really cool superhero name, and when she fails she just goes. ] Lady Fancypants McGee, Esquire and she's sometimes an asshole but she can be a really nice person too.
[ going to lean in and give him a smooch, softly she adds: ]
[He smiles, appreciating the kiss, the intimacy, the whole ... Jesterness of the situation.
[She makes it real hard to be upset, is what he's getting at here.]
You're welcome. It's just, y'know ... not my favorite thing in the world to talk about.
[Nobody's really fond of remembering when they got played like an absolute sucker. Especially not when everyone around them knew it and they were too stubborn to listen, and it put some dents in your family relationships, and --
[You get the gist.]
Besides, I like Lady Fancypants McGee, Esquire way better.
[There are his hands, ghosting up her sides, fingers interlinking across the small of her back.]
Lady Fancypants McGee, Esquire never punched me in the freaking face.
[ she grins and just climbs into his lap and settle comfortable there, so she's sitting on conner. she moves her hands to card through his hair, gentle in her mannerisms. ]

Trust me, I've done the whole 'shack up with the supervillain' thing and it is not great.
[His whole experience with Knockout's made him pretty darn sure that's not something he wants to give a second try. Besides ...
[He smiles, brushing a stray lock of hair out of her face with his thumb.]
I don't know ... call me crazy or whatever, but I kinda just like this.
[Because, honestly? She's fun, and funny, and it's impossible not to smile around her, and that's pretty fucking great.]

I mean ... I'm very okay with that, but, uh ... you sure you're okay?
[He asks, head tilting slightly to one side. There's no pressure there, no force behind it ... he's just asking friend-to-friend, here.]
no subject
[ she deadpans. ]
You should absolutely make out with me to see if I'm sure.
[ yup just gonna flooop on the bed. ]
And I'm not going to pretend to be super villain okay! You'd better like me more!
