I kind of figured when I didn't see your massive everything blocking some path somewhere

You have lunch yet?

[flagflying]

Massive everything?

I'm afraid I won't be the best company today, though.

[tictacs]

You selling yourself short again? I wouldn't ask if you wanted half my chicken sandwich if I thought you were boring

P.S. Ignore the massive everything comment

[flagflying]

I don't think I'm boring! I'm a little under the weather.

( understatement of the year, probably - he's in jeans for once and a uc berkley hoodie with the hood pulled over his head and glasses on, lurking through the hallways until he can take refuge in his office, stacks of tissue boxes and mugs of tea littering his desk. it's not one of his best moments. )

[tictacs]

Oh.

What the hell? Why are you at work then?

[flagflying]

Lots of work to do.

Thanks for the offer, though. Next time? You're scaring some of my colleagues....

[tictacs]

I'm not that ugly

And I showered!

[flagflying]

I wasn't implying either! I meant...engineers don't usually come this far, Scott.

[tictacs]

( scott could laugh. )

Is it really that bad?

Should I ditch the lab coat?

[flagflying]

Nah. I kinda like it. Regrettably.

[tictacs]

( there goes scott's fucking ego. )

Oh, regrettably?

[flagflying]

Haha, I kid. You're good-looking...for an engineer.

[tictacs]

For an engi

Is that how it's gonna be, Steven?

[flagflying]

How it always is, Dr Lang. ;)
