He nods, meeting Cecils watchful gaze. 'Hmm'ing in appreciation and admiration as it dissolves. And he steps back, looking at her as he pulls up his goggles to push away the hair from his face.

"... So that's it, really. All it does is.. eat it, I guess."

[CECIL 🦄 @WHATHENIGHTVALE]

Cecil is, of course, immediately invested in the science taking place before him. The popcorn is dropped into the mysteriously gross-smelling goop and vanishes near instantly. He stared for a moment, eyes flickering to the flask and back to Carlos. (+)

[CARLOS @everascientist]

gaze. "And here we have specimens one." He picks up a kernal of popped popcorn. "Merging with the goop in the glass." He drops it in; it's dissolved near immediately.

[CARLOS @everascientist]

He moves to give her gloves after that, firmly in how he acted on the job, before the popcorn started to flood every crack of his lab.

He then moves to slap his own gloves on, clearing his throat as if there was more of an audience than Cecils ( very eager, he notes, )

[CECIL 🦄 @WHATHENIGHTVALE]

Cecil took the goggles gratefully, just happy to be involved (especially alongside Carlos), and even more giddy about doing Science. She certainly felt like a fellow scientist as she put the goggles on and looked to Carlos, waiting.

[CARLOS @everascientist]

Stepping through, Carlos allowed the door behind them to close. He moves to go to his desk, where a cup of the popcorn and a cup of some foul smelling blue gunk is in a beaker.

He moves to get two pairs of goggles, holding one out for her on the tip of his fingers.

[CECIL 🦄 @WHATHENIGHTVALE]

What a gentleman. Cecil watched the other, the smile still playing on his lips as they cleared a path for her. “Alright!” He chirped with a nod, walking through towards Carlos and to the door leading to his station. Was he feeling butterflies, or was the sick feeling (+)

[CARLOS @everascientist]

"My station is over here. Watch your step." He moves, going to clear a path where she can follow, and through another door.

"Right in here, Cecil."

[CARLOS @everascientist]

Oh, he can never turn that down. He nods, swiftly, and enters; allowing Cecil to come in after him.

The lab is.. filled with scientists. ( 'Filled', as in Carlos' small team, ) and they're brushing, sweeping, and chewing on the remaining popcorn. As any good scientist does.

[CECIL 🦄 @WHATHENIGHTVALE]

Cecil’s face just LIT UP at that, giving a quick nod then before following along with the other. “I would just love that! I can always spare a minute for ( science ).” There’s a genuine interest in his voice as he replied, grinning a bit more confidently than before.

(+)

[CARLOS @everascientist]

"Oh? I mean, I'm sure you have a few minutes, right? You could step in, maybe watch one of them. As long as you wear the protective gear."

[CARLOS @everascientist]

He grins; ( finally, a topic he feels less shambly over. He finds emotion difficult, but science? Oh, he could do science. )

And he nods, stepping back and reopening the lab door, offering Cecil a wordless invitation inside with him.

+

[CECIL 🦄 @WHATHENIGHTVALE]

Heat is still building upon the hosts face as he replied in a soft huff. “I’m alright! Just, uh.” A long pause as he just looked at the other, processing what had happened again before she could continue.

“Everything’s alright back at the station- Most everyone was (+)

[CARLOS @everascientist]

"It's- Yes. It's all good. My team is all okay, we've gotten samples to put into various goops and stuff," He manages to come back to his own mouth, though the heavy tint of pink in his flustered state remains.

"Is everything okay down at the station..then, too?"

[CARLOS @everascientist]

Oh, did he do that?

He didn't mean to. His own cheeks flared with a flustered flush ( all the way down to his neck, if he was being truthful, ) and he'd frozen in place again.

That was too forward. That was way too forward. But luckily, Cecil seemed as flustered

+

[CECIL 🦄 @WHATHENIGHTVALE]

Cecil is quick to explain, now back in his comfort zone (anything but awkward silence). “Well, yes- But as I was trapped, you know, at work, I hadn’t actually seen what had happened to the rest of our town! This is my last stop until the streets are cleaned again, probably. (+)

[CARLOS @everascientist]

The popcorn kernals, bits, and pieces to the ground; only tensing and tinging his ears pink once Cecil had leaned in to wipe them off his own shoulders, ( touch was not one of Carlos' most well-loved things, but it's brief enough he doesn't react. )
