( leonard, you have one impressed lady at how quick that was. she's not going to ask how it works or any sort of question, she probably wouldn't get it if she did, but she'll be impressed.
and teasing ) Hmm, now that you're going to have to make up. ( though she can't keep that tease too long, smiling after instead )
[ He can't help but shoot back with a crooked little smile. He's (almost) sure that it wasn't her intention for that to come across as it does, but it's definitely sounding a bit flirty to him. Just saying. ]
Guess I'll have to figure out a way. Maybe get you a treat some other time.
I've always been fond of a good surprise. [ His smile is warm and a little charming and absolutely endeared. He almost feels terrible for flirting back but he thinks that at this point she has to realize what she's doing. Right?? ]
[ He rises both eyebrows, smile wider. Certain, huh? Alright then. This conversation sure has taken a surprising yet pleasant turn. ]
So— about the files. [ Because that's what they were here to do. ] Any doubts or questions? I think you have somewhere to start now, but if there's anything you want to know more about, tell me.
[ Besides, he appreciates her company. Making sure to put his own files under a lock just in case, he closes the interface and gets to his feet, waiting for her to join so they can head out to the mess hall together. ]

( very interesting. colour her (forever at this point) intrigued )
I'm curious to know what that might be.

What about you? Got the patience for it?

When I'm certain it'll be worth it? Absolutely.
( why is she certain? he'll have to quiz her another day )

( which reminds her )
Though you might want to hide your private research before anyone else finds it.

Yeah, I'll move it to my own personal computer. And put a password lock on it too, just in case.
[ And then definitely make sure his name is nowhere on the file, just "Subject One". ]
But for now, I think I'm due for a break. You want to join me for some coffee?

( she smiles. she's certainly got a lot to think about )
