( mick might be gruff and malcontent, but he's never been cruel to kara, never said a mean word or even a neutral word in a mean tone. she's fond of him. he's like a grumpy big brother slash uncle figure in her life, and she's glad he's here to make this new place a little more familiar. finding out he only kept club soda around for her? well, it warms kara's alien little heart. ) I like club soda.

( as for his question? well, that one takes her an extra minute or two. ) The job — oh, no, I haven't found anything yet. I just started looking, though. ( hence the library. ) I can come by, if you want. I could use a drink. ( of club soda! obviously! )
