I'm going to ask Carlos about it, but... You know how much they can't answer. I guess I'm just not holding my breath on finding out immediately, you know?
[He settles back, looking at her with eyes slightly hooded. It's . . . maybe inappropriate to look at someone like this after the trial, but on the other hand, it's not like doing it Tuesday night or whatever will make it that much better.]
[He doesn't say it cruelly-- there's no glee or amusement in his gaze-- but rather neutrally, the same way one agrees that the weather looks cloudy today, sure.]
And us acting sad isn't gonna do much good. Not for us, and definitely not for them. Won't stop what's coming on Thursday night, either.
I might have five days left to live. I'm not gonna waste time.
[Her instinct is to respond with don't say that, at least to the last thing he says - but he isn't wrong. Still, there's concern in her expression as she glances his way.]
Maybe. [But.] I don't think anyone would blame us for being upset at a time like this, though.

Maybe you should change around where you sleep.

Date: 2019-10-27 03:07 am (UTC)I like my roommate. [Even if he's a gremlin.] I could ask him if we could move into one of the empty rooms, but that definitely seems weirder.
[Sleeping somewhere a dead person used to be staying, and all.]

What, are you worried?

Date: 2019-10-27 04:08 am (UTC)You can pick on whether that's cuz you're easy on the eyes or I appreciate someone halfway sane around here.

You aren’t so bad yourself, you know.

Sorry. I mean, it's just a little surprising, I guess.

Not that that matters so much, I guess. What's a difference of a few days when we have to do this every week?
