[She huddles at the edge of the stool, prepared to drop down and break into a run if necessary.]

That's not what I said..! It's not sleeping.. Just a good and proper fucking. You know. Like from Jack's world?

[.....]

Did he even explain to you what that word means?

Yes.

It's like a hug. But better.

[Oh for god's sake.]

It's nothing like a hug. It means having sex.

[Something he is absolutely not doing with a goddamn cow.]

[ . . . ]

Oh.

[Yeah she's been a fairly sheltered kid. She doesn't have a frame of reference for the whole 'sex' thing.]

[...Does she not understand that, either? Ugh, seriously? Well, it's not his responsibility to give some random kid sex education.]

Geez, just ask an adult. Someone who isn't that blond idiot.

Anyway, the answer is no.

Oh. Okay.

[She lifts up the ox by his front hooves anyway though.]

But. Maybe you should give Ben a hug anyway? It might make you feel better.

[Ugh, just when he thought he'd be rid of her.]

I seriously doubt that.

How can you know if you don't try it?

I'll know, alright? And I have no desire to smell like someone else's weirdly-coloured livestock.

[Hey. HEY.]

Ben just had a bath today! He doesn't smell!

[Fine then he smells like bathed cow 8( Though there is mercifully not the scent of farm stinking up the bar right now, he'll give her that.]

...Whatever. I'm still not hugging him.

Just try it! Are you scared he'll hurt you?

I'm not scared!!

Then you can prove it by giving Ben a hug.

[Well, a lot has happened since Karla had promised Jack Horner to pay Asch a visit at the bar. She had gone for fashion tips (which in the end, she decided to show up in her normal white attire anyhow). And there was the whole mess with the Filial spirit possession.]

[But now things have settled down, and Karla is ready to make her move. She enters the bar and instantly recognizes her target working behind the counter. That must be him. Then she takes a moment to review the plan in her mind. Don't mention Jack. Make it sound like this is her idea.]

[She strides casually over to the counter, pausing, wondering how to greet him. Oh, she's no good at this, especially when this is someone else's idea.]

Hello...you must be Asch.

Like hell. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. Now hurry up and go home! Little kids shouldn't be in a bar.

[Asch is puzzled - he's not used to people knowing him right from the get-go. That would mean that people talk about him, and he figures that basically never happens unless it's involving something negative.

...Maybe this is something negative. His eyes narrow a little, but he nods.]

That's right.

[Wow, not much of a conversationalist, is he? This means that Karla would be the one fishing for words, which she's not the best at either.]

I've...heard about you. I've heard that you're pretty strong.

[At least it's not negative.]

Jack and Buffy say I can come here whenever I want. [And they're the bosses. right? that's sure how they make the chain of command sound.]

[Wow, that's not what he expected to hear, either. One eyebrow quirks a bit - he doesn't look proud of the compliment (sort of), more like intrigued, but it's far from a bad response. He'd half-expected it to be one of the replica's friends coming in to complain about his mistreatment of Luke or something.]

I can hold my own in a fight. Why?

[Wow, rude, he has way more seniority than Jack 8(]

How responsible of them. Why am I not surprised?

[Uuuuugh sometimes he really hates his co-workers.]

Well, I...

[..."heard you could use some action"? No...Karla stops to rethink her wording a bit.]

...I thought perhaps we can train together for a bit after you're finished working? I'm rather new here, so I don't really know how the Battle Dome works.

[Yeah, she'll hold off on asking for a direct sparring match. If she's supposed to be cheering him up, beating him senseless wouldn't be the way to go.]

[Well then maybe someone should tell that to the little girl.]

Is it true, then? That you only want hugs from grownup ladies? I thought Jack was just saying things again.

[Because Jack's almost never says things that turn out to be all the way true. Clementine wishes to document the event.]

[...Huh. Of all the people to ask, she chose him? Weird. And now he wonders who she talked to for that to happen. Rapunzel? No, she's not really into fighting. Luke, more likely.

Whatever.]

I normally train alone, but I was going to head over there after my shift, anyway. I can at least give you a demonstration.

[The 'training together' bit might take some convincing, though. He's not so sure about that one.]
