"Yeah." That probably didn't need a nod, too, but he got one anyway, along with a quick smile. "I have a, um... a project that I wanted to ask you about. Is this a good time?"

Guess that meant she had to get into it, huh?

"Sooo... First off, I'm an alien." That seemed like really pertinent information, so good thing she'd gotten pretty comfortable with saying it out loud. "And, kind of a solar-powered one? Like, my powers get weaker if I don't get enough sunlight. So, I was wondering if you could help with that."

Now that she was saying it, it felt a little dumb. It wasn't as if he could make a sun for her, really.

It was okay, Karolina was probably going to have other priorities at that point too.

"Pretty much," she confirmed. "I mean, if that's even a thing."

"No, but I get really tired if it's dark for a long time," she said. She'd been to the Darkforce Dimension once. It hadn't been fun. "It's kind of like I have batteries that need charging? If I go long enough without the sun, I can't use my powers at all."

And maybe if Karolina had known him better, she would've questioned this. But maybe this was just how he was when he worked?

She hadn't been back on Fandom for very long yet, either.

"Take your time," she said, with a wave of her hand. "I'm grateful you're even trying."

"Sure!"

Oh, honey. Oh no.

"I mean, it's not like I have anything better to do, what with it being the beginning of the break and everything."
