Tag me or something. Let me know if you have a preference for canon point (I usually default to post-show with some comics inspo). Also feel free to comment blank and I'll make a prompt.

She gives a sheepish, sort of nervy smile in appreciation at Tex's quick reaction. Catherine's enough smaller that Tex's jacket is comfortably large on her, and she reflexively curls into it.

"They're comfortable," she says with a shrug, accepting them but letting them rest on her lap for now. She's sufficiently covered that her instinctive human sense of modesty is appeased and now second to an A.I.'s slow adjustment to being an organism.

"How long did it take you to adjust to this? Do you remember what it was like when you first woke up?"

Tex relaxes once Catherine seems to settle at least somewhat. This isn't easy, but the woman doesn't have to deal with it alone.

"Hard to forget, it's saved somewhere," she replies with a light snort and motions towards her head. Memories, just another type of filing system. "I'm still getting used to it. You're not cold like that?"

"Still? Great. That means there's a long adjustment period," she sighs.

Catherine shifts a bit, unsuccessfully trying to hide her discomfort. There's going to be an adjustment period for getting used to body language, too. "As for being cold... I guess. But it's-- sort of nice? I'm perceiving the physical sensation of cold rather than registering ambient temperature on a sensor. It's been a while."

She lets out a low whistle of appreciation and not just because she let her gaze quickly scan the rest of Catherine's form.

"Dredging up old memories already? Don't let yourself stay cold for long or you'll have a harder time getting warm." Though Tex is willing to sacrifice her jacket to the cause. "You're the newly-minted human today. Got a list of what you want to tackle first?"
