Pirate chick was right. It's out there, may as well start progressin' shit. But keep Jun out of this. We were in the same labs, but I don't want him involved if he ain't offerin'.

[noblerise]

[Jusis smiles slightly.]

I have no intention of getting Jun involved if he doesn't want to. You have my word.

[switchaxe]

Good.

[A deep breath and then, shakily:]

Fuck.

[noblerise]

Agreed.

[switchaxe]

[Softly:]

I think I could've killed her over this. If the other chick hadn't got to me first.

[noblerise]

[Well, if that's not sobering to hear....]

I'm still looking into what we can do about your... Passenger. But is there anything I can do for you right now?

[switchaxe]

[Yeah, he knows.]

Dunno. Just figured someone should know about...that.

[noblerise]

You can spend the night here, if you want. Or I can call Elliot to see if he's alright with both of us crashing with him for tonight.

[switchaxe]

Nah, I don't want to bother El. But...yeah, I'll come over. Morgan and Pat saw that shit, I know, so they ain't gonna ask questions.

[noblerise]

Very well. Come by for dinner. I'm certain they'll be more than happy to see you regardless.

[And he'll send Ash his address.]

[switchaxe]

Wait, shit that's right, Pat's staying with you--the hell is your apartment so fuckin' normal for!?

[noblerise]

[He's so confused by this and it's very much heard in his voice.]

It's always been normal...? Honestly, this is bigger than the apartment I used to live in before this assignment.

[switchaxe]

That's bigger?! You could get a freakin' house, Albarea!

[noblerise]

I'd rather not rely on the Order's money if I can at all avoid it. I had to when I started, but I've been paying out of pocket since being able to stand on my own two feet.

[switchaxe]

You're a lawyer.

[noblerise]

A house for just me is far too spacious. Not to mention, with the Order, it's easier to leave and find a new apartment than sell a house.

[switchaxe]

...eh, point. Still, that place is too fuckin' normal.

[noblerise]

I don't see why that's so shocking, but to each their own, I suppose. This is comfortable for me.

[switchaxe]

It just ain't what I expected.

[noblerise]

[Why are teenagers so dramatic? ... He was probably that dramatic as a teen himself, though.]

I'll defer to your judgement, then.
