"Fair enough," Karen agrees, shrugging. It may not be ideal bike-riding weather, but admittedly, she likes that part of it, too — that it's just them, not that there won't be people around to take cell phone videos of them, since she doubts anyone would bother where she's concerned. She'd just rather avoid that anyway, not exactly looking to wind up with scraped hands and shins and mud all over her. She'll just have to be careful. At least the rain isn't coming down hard enough to actually impede their ability to ride. A drizzle, she can work with. Anything more, she's not sure it would be worth it.

At Tony's question, she bites back a smile but nods. This is territory where she has to tread carefully and she knows it, unable to give away too many details of what she does in her free time even to one of the better friends she has in this place, but neither can she ignore the position that the people she works with have in her life, especially now. Whatever she and John are doing, no name put to it yet, she doesn't think either of them intends for it to be a secret. It should all be easy enough to talk around.

"And yeah, I have. Not as interesting as you, obviously, but still." The last, she adds with a teasing lilt, though there's just a shred of truth in it. She's known Tony long enough that it would be stupid to be starstruck by his presence, never mind the circumstances under which they met in the first place, but he was significant back home and the others are all new to her, and there is something of a difference there. "I've got some friends. I actually, uh, I've kind of started seeing someone."
