[ Guess who has been SLACKING on the Eros front. Sometimes you have more fun squatting over suspicious things with your magnifying glass than shacking up with people, so sue her. (Except don't, there are too many bored lawyers present.)
Anyway she knows she's been slacking, which is why she chooses not to make eye contact with Eustace at this moment. Don't look at her. ]
In the meantime, this lab is perfectly functional. You won't even know I'm here! And you'll have the power of science at your fingertips!
[ To be quite honest, he can't fault her for getting a slow start. Hooking up repeatedly with randos off the street isn't exactly what he would consider any average person's idea of a good time.
So he chooses not to press that point, because if she'd rather be horny for science than horny for people, who is he to judge? Even if he still wishes she wouldn't do it in his basement. But, whatever, he can see when he's fighting a losing battle. ]
Fine. Just don't make a mess. [ Oh, right— ] And knock next time.
[ Assuming she doesn't start living permanently in this lab. ]
[ His expression instantly flatlines at that horrendous outfit. He is definitely going to have a talk with the Augur about this. Later, after he picks out all the stray dildos out of the kitchen draws. Which he is going to back to doing, immediately turning right back around to march up the stairs. ]
[ Boy... dramatic much? Seems like a waste of a brand new outfit. She'll hide it away somewhere... just in case. Worst case, she can always dig up a thread and needle somewhere and make something of it for herself.
Anyway, now that peace has been restored, Ema happily gets back to playing with her new science toys. Congrats on your new basement-dwelling parasite housemate(???), Eustace. ]

Deal! And if you ever require me for your scientific needs, feel free to call!
[ What little came with the lab may not be much, but her arsenal will expand in the near future... She will become powerful.
She taps her chin, remembering something. ]
Oh, but you can have this. [ She pulls out the impractical lab outfit. ] It's way too big for me. Looks just your size, though.

Burn it.
[ Seriously, he never wants to see it again. ]
