Nannasprite/Psiioniic. Some kind of AU where he made it to Earth with the Condesce, I guess? Yes, this is perfect. They can bond over their shared experiences re: mind control by fish ladies, and she can bake him stuff while he makes aggressive Mituna-esque innuendo at her.
She can patiently debunk all the anatomically impossible suggestions, possibly with frosting diagrams, and play pranks on him while he’s trying to learn to walk and stuff again. He will blow things up when particularly upset about by her behavior, and she will float off going “Hoo hoo hoo! Better luck next time, dear!” and let Jade clean it up.
And Dirk can be in the room for some of this trying to adjust some kind of prostheses they put together for him, and just be extremely unhappy that this is going on in front of him, because that is Dirk’s job. To be extremely unhappy about things he can’t change.
