your characters are so cool! thank you for sharing them with us!
He's looking at you as you explain how hemolymph is different from how humans conceptualize blood. He's smoking, you're not sure if he's allowed to do that but the bartender hasn't said anything. When you'd started, you'd been worried about bothering him, but the second your drink had emptied he'd ordered you a new one and silently prompted you to continue. Really you would have cut your lecture shorter but he was listening so intently that you just... wanted to keep sharing.
It's only when he's finished his cigarette and snuffed it on the ash tray that appeared beside him that he says anything. Given a hundred guesses you don't think "shitty joke" would've been in there.
"You know why spiders are like baseball players?"
"Um, no?" It takes you so off guard that your brain stalls. Hush sets a couple bills on the bar top, crumpled from being shoved in his pocket, and stands from his stool.
"They catch flies."
"What?" You give a short laugh. Hush tips the last of his own drink into his mouth.
"I got more. Where do bugs get off the train?" You shake your head. "The infe-Station."
"Are you trying to flirt with me?" You ask, trying not to laugh as he coaxes you off your own stool with a hand on your elbow.
"You've been givin' me bug facts all night and now you're surprised I'm trying to pick you up?" The smile he flashes you is blinding and sharp, "Baby who've you been fucking?"
