He nodded and guided you to a fluffy imitation buffalo-skinned sofa in front of an imitation bearskin rug. Moving over to the mini fridge he pulled out two bottles of water.
"Sorry for the lack of choice, but I've been trying to cut back on sugar lately... If you want some flavor mixers, I have cherry, and orange in my desk." he said handing you a bottle of water.

"Just water's good, thanks. I don't actually drink often, regardless of what it may have seemed like when we first met. I just really needed that one drink that day", she admitted, chuckling. "Sometimes life can just be... kind of a bitch. But hey, we met thanks to it, so it's not that bad", she said, opening the bottle and holding it up with a nod, before taking a sip.
"So... what did you want to talk about? ...Each other, I take it?"

"Yes of course." He said sitting beside her trying to will his hands and tail to keep to themselves for now. "So what do you like to do off the job?" He asked.

"Off the job..." she repeated, thinking. "...Off the job... hm. Well... I guess I perform maintenance on my weapons, armor and ship as necessary. Maybe see if I can make improvements on them too?" she said.
She then paused, scratching her hair as she blushed a little. "...I-I guess I'm not really off the job very often", she admitted. "I... tend to seek more job as soon as I run out. There's pretty much always some criminals or Space Pirates to hunt down somewhere."

"I see." He said. "Well I'm into a lot of things... or rather too many things with too little time." He said. "Gaming, comics, animation, and art, and of course women's fashion." He said.

"That's very interesting. You seem to be a man of culture, huh", she said, impressed. "Perhaps... I could use some hobbies of my own", she pondered, thoughtful.

He pondered for a bit. "Maybe soccer?" He asked after glancing at your feet again.

"Team sports?" Samus asked, thoughtful. "I don't know... it would feel like either cheating, or having to hold myself back to give others a chance. I'm a lot faster, a lot more agile, and I can jump a lot higher and more accurately than normal people", she explained, smiling.
"Gaming sounds like something that could be nice and not require other people around to do, which would help when I need to travel on my ship. Maybe I'll try that?"

"Plus you'd have to wear cleats in soccer... Unless you joined one of those lingerie sports leagues... Or wait they make the athletes wear shoes in that too-" He noted pausing when he realized what he was saying. "I mean-... I... I'm sorry, I must sound like a total weirdo perv to you." He said sheepishly and red faced at having said something so foolish. "Anyway yeah Gaming can be fun."

"Travis, I'm a more or less half-alien hybrid who suffers from various fits of sex craze because of a no-less alien semi-sentient superorganism that seems hellbent on turning me into some sort of nymphomaniac... so I'm not especially in any position to call out other people for being 'weirdo pervs'", she pointed out. "I really don't mind."

"Okay." He said. "So... Now it's your turn to ask me something."

She nodded, and asked without hesitation:
"Am I the first girl you ever flirted with, or do you have any past conquests?"

He paused then nodded. "No... You were not the first. Just the first I ever got past the whole flirting thing." He said. "I'm not like the other Travis Howlets of the past, I'm not much of a ladies man..."

"The... 'other' Travis Howlets of the past?" she repeated, blinking. "...Oh, right... Mr. Troy did introduce that fake murderer as 'Travis Howlet the... Eleventh, I think?" she then recalled.

"Yes... My father, and his father, and so on." He said. "To be honest you were the first woman I ever used that massage technique on outside of a hologram."
