[sciencetank]

[He stays out cold for a while. Hours, probably. That's what a caffeine crash will do to a guy.]

[Eventually, though, he drags himself back into consciousness, with a girl draped on him. Odd.]

[So he pokes her. A few times, in the arm.]

[How... kind... of him.]

[makeshiftwings]

[ She just curls closer, clutching at his shirt. ] Five more minutes...

[sciencetank]

[He peels her hand off of his shirt.]

... Very well. I'll keep time.

[makeshiftwings]

Hm? [ It seems she's waking up anyway ] Perceptor?

[sciencetank]

You still have four minutes and fifteen seconds left to rest.

[makeshiftwings]

I... what?

[sciencetank]

You asked for five more minutes.

You've three minutes, thirty seconds, left.

[makeshiftwings]

... You don't have to keep track. I don't think I was quite awake when I said that.

[sciencetank]

Well. In that case, there's little need to lie down any longer, is there?

[makeshiftwings]

Huh?

[ Oh. Oh gee they're awfully close. Just. Gonna scoot away now.

And turn red again. ] I--- um. How are you feeling?

[sciencetank]

I'm fine. Systems functioning normally...

[He trails off, studying her face.]

... You, on the other hand, appear to be changing color once more.

[makeshiftwings]

[ squeak ] I'm fine!

[sciencetank]

... You just squeaked.

[makeshiftwings]

[ Maybe if she curls up she'll disappear ] I'm embarrassed, okay?

[sciencetank]

Embarrassed? What ever about?

[makeshiftwings]

Because... because I fell asleep on you.

[sciencetank]

Why is that embarrassing? Jetfire did so, on occasion.

[makeshiftwings]

But... who's Jetfire?

[sciencetank]

Ah. A... colleague of mine...

[is that color on his cheekbones there.]

[makeshiftwings]

[ Normally she would tease him but... well. She's good at observing. She can probably figure out what that means. ] Is he... more than just a colleague?

[sciencetank]

Calling him by any other title wouldn't be prudent, considering the situation in which we currently find ourselves. It's far wiser to refer to him simply as a colleague.

[Safer, too. But it's also easier to be practical -- in case the Ark was as devastated as it had seemed.]

[makeshiftwings]

... All right. Sorry I asked.

[ She still can't help but feel a little... well, she's not sure. Disappointed? Sad? She doesn't know. ]

[sciencetank]

... Sorry? Why?

[makeshiftwings]

I just am. [ She pulls her knees up to her chest and pointedly doesn't look at him, hiding behind her bangs. ]

[sciencetank]

... Is something the matter?

[Hey, he's observant. Just not about the right things.]
