And this is precisely when she'll duck her head, clear her throat and turn her gaze toward paying attention to where she's going.
If he'd arrived here a week ago, he'd have had one heck of an impression of the two of them. But then, he'd been dying at the time. And she can't use that as a gauge to know whether he likes her or not, right? Right. Anakin's comment makes her laugh, though, the awkward thankfully ebbing away.
"It was my cousin before me; and I've been on the receiving end of one of those myself recently. Next time I'll make sure to carry a literal welcome mat with me."
The attempt at humour is successful in easing her nerves, which is great; because the task ahead requires focus. Her aunt had spent hours teaching her about the stars. Maybe that might come in handy now. "Yeah, I can imagine." Though she's not sure 'his' galaxy is the Milky Way. "I'm from two thousand lightyears away, give or take." Hmm. All right, they'll start with his robot's star charts, and move on from there. Though he needs to be fixed first, and as breathless as Winn still is (and full of questions that make Kara raise an eyebrow), her friend is the best one to lend a hand if needed, and does.
"I'd like to see that! And cross-reference it with our charts here. At worst, there's somewhere else I can check; but I'd need to take a quick trip for that."
She'll watch him work, and make idle questions about how this tool works, or why something goes where it does; engineering and mechanics would never have been her calling on Krypton, born to parents of the Thinker and Science guilds. Hopefully he can forgive her ignorance.
( ooc: Some dc sources say krypton's in Andromeda and others infer it's 27.1 lightyears away. Kara said "2000 lightyears" in Season 1, so that's what I went with. )
