Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maybe Cafetite had gotten a bit too excited over her nifty find, because she was just about jittering a little in place. The presence of another Lieutenant got her to straighten up, and she turned to him with a pleasant smile. "I'm sorry to worry you! Everything is fine. I was just thinking I'd like to share one of my food finds with another agent." Sure, she'd bring the leftovers to Melvin and Vera for them to sample, but sometimes it was good to share a bite with someone in the know. She didn't even let Arsenolite object before she started digging around in the small box she was holding. "This shop was selling what they call 'starlight cookies.' They're wonderful! They've got cream in the middle, and little candy bits among chocolate, and they're like sandwich cookies with substance!"

She knew she was getting way too excited over confectionery, but she was in no mood to pump the brakes. She pulled out a cookie and held it right in front of Arsenolite's face, because she expected him to take the treat directly like that. Maybe the expectations were a little off.

A tiny flash of disappointment may have crossed Cafetite's face when Arsenolite didn't humor her by just taking the cookie in his mouth like a good boy (?). All the same, she placed the cookie in his hand. "Enjoy!"

The question of whether he owed her anything was an interesting one. She gave a protracted "Hmmmm" before responding. "I don't think you owe me anything like money, but I think an introduction would be acceptable!" With a charming little curtsy, she offered her end of the introduction. "I'm Lieutenant Cafetite. I've been in the Negaverse for a little while, but I kind of only got serious about it recently. How about you?"

"Welcome to the Negaverse, then!" Cafetite said with her usual bubbly cheer. "I'd be happy to show you good draining spots and some places to watch out for. I hear there's places where, if you don't pay close attention, a senshi will literally jump right on top of you!" It was a secondhand, perhaps even thirdhand warning, but anything of the sort would be good guidance, right?

She giggled and began to pull out her communicator. "They really are good, right? You might be vibrating from the sugar a bit, but I'm sure you do enough to burn it off. And there's also a secret to these cookies..." Upon unfolding her communicator, she pointed it at the other Lieutenant while it was set to selfie view. "Take a good look at yourself! If my hunch is right, you'll have stars in your eyes, too. Mine wore off and haven't come back, but I'll just have to live with that."

Cafetite pulled out her stern no-no finger and wagged it. "You can't be lazy! It's also no good to hunt close to home. Someone could track you down, and that'd be bad for you... and everyone, eventually." The warning was both more and less grave than it needed to be. Ripple effects happened, but a Negaverse agent caught as a civilian tended to suffer the most.

She was both equally amused and disappointed in Arsenolite's reaction to his new starry gaze. "Calm down! It goes away after an hour or so. Besides, on you, I think it's... charming." She was going to say 'cute' but thought better of it. "How about we go show everyone your new look? Or you could shut yourself away for an hour, but then no one makes any progress."

Now she was trolling just a bit.
