Valkyrie, for her part, had thought nothing of his 'moment'. She'd heard worse things out of worse people, and it was always nice to be somewhat appreciated. Of course given Bruce's nature, it was also in her own to tease whenever she could.
"Awww." She waved an arm in front of him as if shooing him for reiterating the compliments. Once again Valkyrie let the silence remain between them as she ate a more modest spoonful of ice cream while Bruce and Dido resumed their puppy love affair; she closed her eyes at his petting and laid down instead of remaining seated. Once Val had no more ice cream in her mouth, she finally remembered her pressing question. "Are you sure if you let him out you'll be gone? Beyond any doubt? Is it something you've tested with science, something you inherently know?"
