Well, only seems fair to treat ya to something good 'nd tasty to help forget 'bout what happened earlier today. Wanna try hunt down a place to eat 'nd chat, then can see what trouble can get 'nto, or ya keep me out of, [A smile to her earlier comment.] While headin' to that observatory?

[As he released her hand, Remy offer that arm to her again for her to take so they could walk, wondering how far to push this charm or how far she would want to take it, not minding either way if she did or she had enough of the fun kidding around.] 'nterested in star gazin', or something a bit more serious?

[slightlysaggy]

[ She does take his arm, rather cheerfully. She's actually kind of amazed at his proposed plan. ]

You really want to do all that? Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I'm shocked.

[ And... Slightly guilty for some reason. Sure, she's not technically doing anything wrong at the moment. She's touched Goku more than this even after being married, but there's still just a nagging feeling. That's why she immediately jumps to conclusions when he asks about the observatory. ]

Something more serious? W-what are you saying exactly?

[cajunspice]

[A little surprised by the reaction he got after how much she had been seeming to enjoy their casual flirting and joking around, his brows raised over his sunglasses again as Remy glanced to her.] Mean it ya field of work, or just a past time? What ya think I meant? [Though as those words came out of his mouth, Remy started to piece it together. Huh, maybe he had laid it on a little thick, huh? Oh well, she wasn't hitting him, or calling him names, or running away so far, so seemed she wasn't fully panicked yet.

He then offered a shrug to her first question.] Why not? I got some funds, 'nd seein' new place is always more 'nterestin' with someone else than doin' it solo.

[slightlysaggy]

Oh-- I mean, nothing really! [ She laughs just a bit too loudly and awkwardly after that. Good job, Bulma. Real smooth transition there.

But, she clears her throat in an attempt to alleviate the awkwardness she's caused. ]

It is my job. Technology and all that. I run a pretty big company back home that makes capsules. So you know, I wanted to check out some of the technology here. Some planets are kind of secretive with their tech, but it's not like I'm spying or something. So.. I guess it's not actually a big deal.

[ Man, she really just needs to calm down. ]

You're right! I was getting really tired of wandering around here on my own, which I guess was pretty obvious.

[cajunspice]

[Remy hid a smile at her cover laugh, not planning to call her out on it and letting her cope with it however she wanted, giving her that moment before continuing to talk.] Oh yeah? 'ssumin' ya not meanin' medical capsules, like the ones ya swallow. 'less ya puttin' something like nanotechnology or the like in it.

[His grin then turned a bit wicked, a chuckle entering his tone.] Hey, nothin' hurtin' gettin' to see what's out there. Not like this ya world, so ain't like they in competition with ya. 'nd doubt they be able to sue ya for copyright breech or the like if ya do get some ''nspiration' from them. [Then again, this was coming from a thief, so maybe he wasn't the best person to endorse such behavior.]

[slightlysaggy]

Not exactly, but my capsules are a sort of nanotechnology. So far, everyone I've met has your definition of capsule. I guess they're kind of hard to understand if you haven't used them before, but they're devices that store things at a small size basically. [ She holds up to fingers to show the size of one of them. ] You can store food, or vehicles... Just about anything. Then you push the capsule button and BOOM! there it is.

[ She seems a little more at ease when she can explain some of her work. She even gives a light laugh at his advice on the copyright matter. ]

I don't know, maybe I should be the one worried about copyrights. I don't think a single other person so far has heard about my capsules.

[cajunspice]

[There was a long pause as Remy took in the information, processing it, before saying;] That's 'mazin'. That... wow, that, [He shook his head, mind racing at just how incredibly useful that would be,] That gotta be one of the best ideas 've ever heard. 'nd got no clue how ya even make that work. [Before aiming a grin at her.] Then again, guess that something ya really don't want gettin' out.

Ya must dominate the market.

[slightlysaggy]

Yep, it's a secret!

[ Not that she could just explain the process without hours and visuals anyway. And who's to say that technology is even possible wherever they are. ]

We did. I think that's one of the worst things about being swept away to space. STarting all over from square one.

[ On the bright side though, maybe a married older woman almost freaking out about a simple stroll down the street with a handsome younger man could boost thier ratings. You never know! ]

[cajunspice]

Ahh, but ya not really, ya got all the 'nformation up here, [Giving a tap to his temple with his free hand.] Right? Just puttin' the parts together again. May take some time gettin' materials 'nd tools again, but hell, we out in space 'nd goin' to different planets, never know what ya'll come 'cross that never thought could get ya hands on.

It ain't that bad a situation to be in.
