Jemma is pretty sure... well. Sort of sure, anyway. She has a good working hypothesis... and maybe some supporting data that someone is looking for an agent from the sciences division to go on a field mission. She is basing this entirely on the fact that she got some unusual questions and some equally unusual looks from her SO today, and she's almost fully qualified for field work.

Maybe... maybe someone is paying attention.

So Jemma is in a rather good mood today.

This is only made better by discovering a type of butterfly she hasn't seen before while on a walk out back. That'd be why there's a SHIELD scientist sprawled in what used to be the outfield for the baseball field, yes.

And she's nearly covered in grass, too. Tahno makes noise as he approaches, crunching over the grass with intentionally heavy foot falls.

"Ya look like yer in a good mood," he drawls playfully, settling in the grass beside her.

"Balance, maybe?" Tahno drawls, resting his fingers of one hand on his collarbone. "What kinda bug is it?"

She's adorable, Tahno thinks, confirming what he already knew. "So it might be a hybrid, like on my world," he drawls. "Think it's poisonous enough to drop a human or just make 'em itch a bit?"

"Well, a collection kit should be somethin' that can be ordered from Bar, right?" Tahno drawls, peering at the little bug. "Do ya want me to get one for ya?"

"Sure, ain't no thing," Tahno drawls, standing up. He brushes grass off the back of his thighs and heads to the bar.

The trip takes him a bit of time, his swagger slow, but he returns with a jar of questionable taste. "She said this was what she had for the purpose," he drawls, offering her the pipe-cleanered monstrosity.

"So what're ya gonna do with it?" Tahno asks, crouching down to watch her capture the jar. "Obviously look at whatever toxins it has, right?"

Tahno scratches his neck a little. "How're ya gonna find out what it eats?"

Tahno smirks at her, enjoying her triumph as much as she is. "I gotcha. Well, this is neat, man. Do ya got the stuff ya need in yer room to work with this little thing?" he asks, and tilts his head. "Huh, it's real pretty, ain't it."

"What if it, like, can only sting once?" Tahno drawls, gesturing to the jar. "Like, its stinger falls out after it pokes someone?"

hot_water: (omg really?)
From: [personal profile] hot_water
"Man, what's the point of a defense if it only works once?" Tahno asks, shaking his head while he smirks. "Seriously, how'd they end up with stingers that way?"

He glances at her, trusting her to have an answer with regards to honeybee evolution.

Tahno nods while he listens, absorbed in what she says. He steps close to her when she finishes, lazily reaching out to cradle her chin. "I could listen to ya talk all day long," he purrs warmly, and then taps her nose gently, releasing her. He steps back, and the air that rushes between them, between the electricity passed between them, is just cool enough.

hot_water: (go for it)
From: [personal profile] hot_water
Tahno stretches a bit, and then turns to her again, his gaze on her molten. "Yeah," he drawls softly, drawing a breath. "Ya make bees interestin'. And I learn stuff from ya that I never thought I would before."

Tahno steps closer again. He leans in and places a chaste, burning kiss on her cheek. "It ain't just the bees that interest me."

Tahno chuckles, stepping back to allow her to escape. He follows, resting one hand on his hip. "So how long are ya gonna keep that thing?"

His stride is slow and graceful; he's clearly not in any sort of a hurry, and his footfalls are light in the grass. "Will it survive the process?" he asks, amused.

Tahno has to spend a moment to figure out what 'necropsy' is from context. "Neat. I used ta know someone who pinned bugs to little frames. She'd name 'em."

"Oh, yeah? How would that kind of name work?" Tahno asks, arching a brow. "I dunno anything about scientific namin'."

"So it could be a Beebutterfly Jemma?" he asks, bending a flower sculpture into a patch of snow as they pass. "Or a Beebutterfly Purple-and-Green?"

Tahno blinks slowly, and then chuckles as he shakes his head. He can see the bar by now, and he glances to her. "So what's a pulchellus? And why is it 'super mundane'? Looks pretty impressive to me."

"Pretty and other worldly? Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Ya can call it a Milliwaysae pretty thing, if ya really wanted," he teases gently, walking backwards to get a better look at her.

He laughs, resting a hand on his chest. "Oh, man. Yer the scientist, not me, so I'll bow to yer ability to name the thing. Ya might even find that it's got a toxin unlike anythin' you've ever seen. That'd be neat."

"Maybe, if there is a new one, and ya figure out how it works, ya can reproduce it here," Tahno offers, gliding across the grass with his easy saunter. "Then it'd be a simple matter of taking that stuff home."
