[crashout]

...but? [Unfortunately he's pressing it.]

[uncurtained]

I just... thought you would have told me you were going to tell him beforehand.

[crashout]

...I didn't exactly have time. My role meeting changed and it came up this week. I confirmed Haymitch's role on Saturday, but I didn't tell him about anyone else's but my own.

[uncurtained]

[She looks like she's about to say something, but:]

...Let's talk about something else. I'm - tired, I guess.

[crashout]

...yeah. Me too. [Today is garbage, and so...he'll take the change in subject while also knowing he could have handled this better.]

...I've never asked. What year is it for you? Back in your version of the world.

[uncurtained]

2018. Why...?

[crashout]

[...he just kind of laughs, not fully amused.] I wanted to know how far apart we were. That's all.

[uncurtained]

How far, then?

[crashout]

About ten years.

[uncurtained]

[Normally she'd make a joke about him being a kid, but...]

Anything cool happen since then?

[crashout]

Not particularly no. [He doesn't talk about the upcoming apocalypse that could have happened.] Funny how that works.

[uncurtained]

Which of the 20 new versions of the iPhone is the best one...?

[It's weak, but a joke all the same.]

[crashout]

No idea. I'm an android kind of guy. [A joke back, but it's just as weak.] ...I don't answer my phone much these days unless it's for work. I haven't upgraded for a while.

[uncurtained]

What about when your friends call?

[crashout]

[Hm.]

Beck. I don't exactly have a lot of friends, if you haven't noticed.

[uncurtained]

That's not true. Everyone here likes you.

[crashout]

[Well.] Here is different. And you should know there's a difference between people liking you and people being your friends. For example, I liked Muzet fine but she was an acquaintance at best. You and I are definitely friends.

[uncurtained]

...I guess so.

[She's probably too tired and out of it to have a serious, in depth conversation about this, but.]</small. Will you stay...?

[crashout]

[They can definitely talk about this later.]

...I'll stay as long as you want me to. [Or at least until WWX comes back to avoid conflicting timelines but. The answer was always going to be yes.]

[uncurtained]

...Thanks.

[There's honest gratitude in her voice as she leans over slightly so she can lay down on the bed.]

[crashout]

[He shifts to give her space, looking at the bed before looking at her and settling to lay down with her. He'll just kind of scoot closer and loosely hold her waist if she'll let him. He's not always great at being comforting, but it's like he said to her. They're friends. It's the least he can do.]

[uncurtained]

...What do you want to talk about?

[She wasn’t kidding when she said she wasn’t tired - or, at least, she’s too nervous to sleep. As he puts an arm around her, she reaches to take his hand.]

[crashout]

Mm...[He doesn't mind. He genuinely doesn't mind and he lets her take his hand as he keeps close.] Tell me about...the last book you read. You must've found something good in the library right?

[An easy subject, and also one he thinks she'll be able to talk about and distract herself with.]

[uncurtained]

...You have to promise not to laugh.

[crashout]

I'm not gonna laugh. [He might laugh because he sucks, but he gently bumps into her shoulder anyway.] Tell me.
