Jemma Simmons is the ideal customer of the Container Store. She likes things organized, and her apartment attests to that - things are labeled, stacked, folded away, and generally kept as neat as anyone could possibly wish. It also attests to the fact that she is a bit of a geek and has no problem with this, highlighted by the clock on the wall. Actually, that was a gift from a friend in her first PhD program, but the point stands - she kept the clock.

"While you're in there, could you fetch me a cider?" Jemma calls as she flops onto the couch - it's been a long, hard day of science-ing. She has earned herself some cider and at least a few handfuls of the popcorn she's pretty sure Leo is making.

"Well, you do know how much I love a good binge on Doctor Who. However, I'm thinking Cosmos..."

He grinned and took a swig of his own cider.

She doesn't need further urging - she pulls up episode two of Sagan's series (her personal favorite), and settles in happily.

She waits until they're well into the story of the crabs before she notes, idly:
"So, I've applied to take the field qualification again."

Fitz sighed and looked at Jemma,

"You know it was never suggested we go into the field, right? What has got you so intent on doing field work when we do so well in the lab together?"

He glanced over at the TV. It's not as if they hadn't watched this many times before but it was interesting.

"Come on, Fitz - it would be absolutely brilliant from a scientific point of view. To get to see the things we're studying and preparing for up close and in situ, rather than from reports and shaky video feeds and whatever mangled piece of machinery gets brought back for analysis." She retorts eagerly - she's put thought into this. "You can't tell me you're not just a little bit curious."
