Reflexively, Rikki mirrored his "whoops" expression and then she couldn't help herself from laughing. "So...hold on, you found a rock and then six people ended up stoned? I'm not sure if that's terrifying or hilarious, but — no offense — I'm leaning toward the latter, mate." Her lips pressed together to keep from laughing again as she looked back at him.
While she appreciated that he was trying to give her other options, Rikki shook her head. The fact that the locals and the media were so interested was largely why. "I need to adjust sometime, yeah? Might as well start now," she replied with a little shrug. The most of the time that he'd tacked on wasn't lost on her, but she had a feeling he was just referring to imPorts who fell under something other than hero status. Surely, there had to be some that were more interested in causing trouble than helping clear it up. They couldn't all be heroes or the types to keep their heads down.
She grinned coyly and cocked her eyebrows with a little shrug at his comment. "You'll be really disappointed if you hype it up too much in your head, so don't get too excited," she reminded him. After all, she'd already decided that his ability to be invisible was cooler and she'd not kept that opinion a secret.
"Ziplining?" she asked. That was something she hadn't heard of before. It wasn't that it didn't exist where she lived or that it was called something different, she just hadn't heard of it. "Do I even want to know what the Spider Church is?" she asked, looking dubiously amused.
They reached the front of the line and the girl waiting on people looked to Rikki first. "Have you got a strawberry, pineapple, and mango smoothie?" she asked, breaking down the ingredients rather than asking for a SummerBurst, which was what they called it at JuiceNet when Ash had added it to the menu. It was one of her favourites. She smiled when the girl said they did and she added quickly, "I'll have a small one of those, please." Then, she looked to Ben at the same time as the other girl did.
