And then in teleports a cat with wings straight into Traceless's lap. He promptly melts right onto said lap, then extends a paw up to the burger takeout wrapper, which Traceless evidently interprets as "break off a tiny piece of that burger and put it straight in the cat's mouth". Melting resumes. Purrrrrr.

....awwww, cute.

(She's not sure what this means for makeouts, but she can follow Traceless's lead, here.)

The cat is comprehensively asleep almost as soon as he's finished swallowing his bite of burger. Once they've finished dinner Traceless scoops him up and brings him over to the bed and puts him next to the pillow. Espers can resume kissing with sleep-enabled privacy.

Sure, they can make out over Cricket.

It doesn't take that much longer for Flywheel to get fully guided.

"You going to head straight out to kill some more worms?"

"Probably, yeah. They want us to clog as many of the portals as we can before we call it quits for the night, and the earlier we can do it the fewer places get hit, right?"

"Okay. I'll be here whenever you're through."

"Thanks." She... rests her head against his, for a moment.

...shoulderpat? "Worms won't know what hit 'em."

This gets a faint smile out of her! "Yeah. See you later tonight." 

She'll message Min Woo-young to let him know she's ready. 

He can teleport her!

"So what was that thing you did with your little ball thingy at the end earlier today?"

She smiles when she sees them. (wow, really desperate for friends, huh?)

"Needed to offload the energy we had somewhere. It's - not clear to me that my flywheel" (she pats her backpack) "can store that much energy and it would be, uh, bad to be wrong about." She taps the spheres on her belt, which she's replenished. 

"Hmmm gotcha gotcha. 'Cause, like, that did a lot of damage by itself even without the part where we turned the worm outside in. So I was wondering if maybe we'd have a way to get that effect without sending you catatonic with backlash after two rounds."

Flywheel thinks. "I don't think we can. All my transfers have to go through me first, and it doesn't cost any more to wait a bit before doing the second one, so we might as well turn it inside out."

Shrug. "I don't mind the backlash." (Or she doesn't endorse minding it, not in this situation, which is basically the same thing) "And it won't be as bad, starting from zero."

Uh huh.

"I mean, maybe you don't mind the symptoms, but from a pure efficiency perspective being able to sneak a third worm in would be great." Also Tae-hwan is feeling kind of useless, most of the show here is Flywheel's and he wants his power to be a more active participant of their little combo.

"Yeah, it'd be nicer if we could get a third one -" (oh, huh. Valid of him?) "- hrm. You could in theory stop the two of us after I use my power the first time and you let go of the worm? That'd half the backlash cost for me, but - it seems like it'd be a lot more for you." 

(...this wouldn't work at all without his power, but she's not sure why that isn't obvious, so she's not sure how to explain it. She glances at Min Woo-young to see if there's any clues on his face.)

"Oh. It—wouldn't, actually, be that costly? I think it'd be a lot less costly for me than it'd be for you. ...and maybe if we throw one of your balls at the worm's mouth just before I could link it to us and we still get the benefit of the cannon."

(Tae-hwan is just being silly.)

He peers at Woo-young's face. "Are you two having a telepathic conversation?"

"Well, I'm not a psychic esper!" She looks at Min Woo-young thoughtfully. "But maybe Min Woo-young is the best teleporter in the world and a very good kisser and secretly also a telepath..." 

This is a dumb bit and nobody's going to laugh at it - She giggles. that doesn't count, dumbass. (She doesn't care! She can pretend to have fun!)

He does in fact giggle.

"It's not a secret. Usually hyung does this face where he's, like, squinting at you and you know he has just learned your deepest, most shameful secrets, but it's a red herring, he doesn't need to do that to learn your deepest, most shameful secrets."

(Awww, yay, he laughed. Probably out of pity! She'll take what she can get though.)

She looks at Min Woo-young soulfully and clasps one of his hands in both of hers. "If you do learn my deepest, most shameful secrets with your apparently-well-known psychic powers, you mustn't tell anyone, okay? That'd be kissing and telling."
