She gently shook her head back and forth. "You can always make something up. Maybe tell me the way that you wished it would have ended." She took a small step forward as he waited for the water to boil and gently took his hand in hers.

"You can tell me anything. Maybe your favorite flavor of ice cream or things that you've wanted to try."

Her smile widens. "Like, I really like trains. I don't know why but I always get so excited when I am on a train." She was like a child sometimes...

[belowthesea]

He hesitates, and his smile returns with a bit of relief. His imagination isn't that strong, but he can talk about himself.

"I like root beer floats." Does she know what those are? "I've never been on a train, but I've been on a bathysphere. They're like... submarine trolleys. Rapture wasn't connected, like this place is - there were bathyspheres to move people from one part to another."

[unknownmoirai]

"Bathysphere." She repeated the word like it was spoken in a foreign language. "That sounds like fun." These domes where her first venture underwater. It was uncomfortable for a creature that was meant to fly but she was adjusting as best she could.

"What's a root beer float?"

She did not know.

[belowthesea]

"They're uh... swell."

And kind of terrifying, like everything in Rapture is.

"A root beer float is... soda, with ice cream on top. It floats. And melts. And the soda gets creamy." That's an awful explanation, but hey, that's what Jack is best at. Awful explanations. "I could make one for you, some time."

[unknownmoirai]

"I'd like that." It wasn't the worst explanation and it sounded like something that she would really enjoy. "It's something else we can do together." It might be more date like than... whatever it was they were doing now.

"Did you always drink coffee?" She pointed to what he was making. "What about tea?"

It was interesting to learn what people liked to drink.

[belowthesea]

"Not used to uh... hot tea." He gestures vaguely. "Never saw it in Rapture, and... in Kansas we had it cold, with sugar. And... the coffee in Rapture's got Eve in it. So it helps with... Plasmid stuff."

He really hasn't explained much about Plasmids, but it's better that she doesn't have to know too much. The gritty details are honestly enough to make him sick.

She listened intently, nodding her head at intervals to mark her understanding. His world was a stark contrast to what she knew and while it was at times unpleasant, she liked learning about it and about Jack. Even after months of living in the Spheres, Jack continued to be unlike anyone she'd met before.

"What is Plasmid? I think you said that Eve is what gave you magic?" It was difficult to remember and magic worked very differently for her. Magic was in her blood and her bones. She didn't know what it meant on a scientific level, only that she couldn't let anyone steal any part of her.

It was one of the more painful lessons her sister had taught her.
