Now Helena had of course expected the good scientific talk. What she hadn't expected was that there would be flirting through the scientific talk. God, she could all ready feel her heart beating faster in her chest. If they hadn't just met for the first time in person, she might just take a more overt approach to this. But for now, she was going to enjoy this flirting through science.
Helena also began to melt down the metals she'd taken, listening to Bruce. There was a part of her that was all ready just wanting to take him right there in the lab, but she was restraining herself. "Limber fingers are indeed the best tool to have when conducting experiments. Limber fingers and steady hands to carefully handle each and every element of the experiment without worry."
That tone of voice. If her heart wasn't all ready property of someone else, she would just offer it to Bruce on a silver platter right then and there. It had been so very long since someone spoke her language in such a way. And she was savoring each and every moment of this. Bruce was not the only one good at multitasking. Helena was currently doing the same, melting the metals and other materials needed down and glancing at Bruce, meeting his eyes every so often.
"Each time the hypothetical situation is revisited, more attention to the details is needed. Sometimes one needs to inspect each aspect up close, sometimes inspecting from a distance. But what is most important is that each and every part is treated with the utmost care and attentiveness. Taking it slowly and carefully is best, that way nothing is overlooked and there is less of a chance for things to suddenly take a left hand turn and lead the entire experiment into disaster. Astute attentiveness is often the difference between success and disaster." She glanced at him.
"And being attentive is a trait every good scientist should have. That way nothing is ever lost or missed. Everything will always stay on course with a guiding hand always there to ensure it stays so."
