never one in my life

From:

mathematician

I've surmised.

[A few minutes pause.]

So you'll be up for another hour.

From:

totallytrustworthy

at least

[Let's not touch on the fact that she's restless as anything and trying to sleep away the days is like asking the world to stop turning.]

From:

mathematician

Alright. I'll visit tonight.

From:

totallytrustworthy

There is a 33% chance leaving this room will result in mental or physical harm.

From:

totallytrustworthy

oh for christs sake when you phrase it like that I hope for physical

[Kidding.]

From:

totallytrustworthy

seriously though if you think its a risk maybe save it for some other day

From:

mathematician

...

That was a joke. There is always a minimum of 33% likely chance for physical or mental harm no matter where you are.

[HE WAS TRYING... TO BE FUNNY...

this is why he doesn't tell jokes.]

From:

totallytrustworthy

oh my god

[Lowell you're just about as awful as Nate....]

thats it I'm telling the guard not to let you in

From:

mathematician

Is

that a joke too?

[BECAUSE HE CAN'T TELL.]

From:

totallytrustworthy

1 yes 2 we are so working on your sense of humor once you get here

From:

mathematician

[Well. He thought he was being funny.]

Alright.

[You were, Lowell. You were.]

[ooc: here, or a log?]

[It's not exactly what she'd expected, and not exactly the best time for it, but it's an opportunity to patch up the bridges they'd-- you know, sort of torched with gasoline. And Magic. And shitty packets of tasteless food.

Weeks prior, she wanted nothing to do with them. Now...now it's different. Inexplicably and probably inappropriately (hi yes hello, kidnapper here hoping we can be mates) but there you have it: that's exactly where she stands. Waiting at nearly five in the morning.]

From:

mathematician

[Good timing or no, Lowell's burned bridge is already partially through reconstruction. He was angry at first, definitely. The work interruption alone put them all back by a week.

But actually getting along with Chloe and Charlie was not something he thought would ever happen. He didn't think he would possibly think of a Transport as a friend.

Definitely some classic Stockholm happening here, he knows. He also doesn't care, as he heads over to the West Wing rooms, with a small bag. It's mostly his dinner/breakfast. Food times kind of blur together when you're working all the time and there's no sun to tell you when it's day or night. Maybe there's something in there for Chloe, too.

He gets past the guard, and finds Chloe's room soon enough. A knock soon follows.]

Hello?

From:

totallytrustworthy

Morning, love. [Not much to the meeting rooms, but they've got a table at least, and (instead of nearly every other time she's done this carefully monitored song and dance) Chloe moves to sit down; a bit of casual posturing that's only happened once before with a friend on the outside that she's known for too many years to count at this point.]

Surprised you're not falling asleep. [Ragged as she looks, it's a surprise that she isn't either.]

From:

mathematician

Ah... Morning.

[Already, things hit off with a bang of awkward, as Lowell steps into the room.]

I should be. But I think Trish would actually lock me in med bay if I didn't eat at least twice a day.

[He's certainly tired enough to be falling asleep right there and then. But being exhausted is kind of how he's felt for weeks, so it's barely noticeable at this point. It's only when he actually does settle down that he feels the full force of 'you haven't slept in 48 hours, what are you doing.' Right now though? Salad for breakfast. Which he pulls out the container holding said salad from his bag and starts picking at. Don't judge.]

Do you like pudding?

[This is relevent, really.]

From:

totallytrustworthy

Uh...[Bit of additional awkwardness there as she considers how much things have changed when he's the one offering her food. ] what kind?

From:

mathematician

Chocolate.

[And out of the bag is half of a snack pak, ~just for you~. Along with a spoon.]

From:

totallytrustworthy

You sure she won't kill you for sharing your breakfast as well? [Chloe's teasing of course; she doesn't even hesitate to snatch up what he's offered.]
