[newton's third law of motion dictates that for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. kate's twitching hand leads to peter continuing to try and maneuver which leads to more friction and a simultaneously pleasant and mortifying twitch in response. won't someone please build a machine that pulls him to another dimension? it might be easier than addressing this.

kate's voice, cool and casual, takes him out of his head while her 180 takes her hand from his — yep not touching that with a ten foot pole. not that the situation is any better because suddenly there's lots of harsh light and her mostly exposed back, beautiful even under these terrible conditions. yeah peter acknowledges at last that he can't blame the guy from earlier one bit. kate cuts a real pretty picture no matter what she's wearing and this outfit's no exception. if he thinks about it — which he swears he won't and yet still manages to do by virtue of trying to think otherwise — it's not just the outfit. it's the attitude, the competency with which she carries herself, and the way she's just a little bit mean to him sometimes.

decorum dictates that he should step backward, not lean closer, not shift to where his mouth hangs right by her ear, breathing shallowly as the gears in his head turn and turn.

it definitely doesn't advise that he say the one thing that he shouldn't say in the middle of a very important mission.

he's never been very good at following the script.]


I didn't dislike it.
