[forwardmomentum]

I need to talk to you -- can we meet?

[rraidergirl]

[ well, she did sort of expect this. ]

Of course. Where?

[forwardmomentum]

I can come to your room, if that's alright. I'm in my office otherwise.

[ where he has been pacing frantically for the last two hours since he left papyrus in sans' room and made sure everything was about as taken care of as it could be for now. this isn't the conversation he thought he'd be having today. he really, really wishes he just could talk to her about the kissing. why can't they just talk about the kissing? ]

[rraidergirl]

I can meet you in your office.

[ Her roommates aren't in, but if this is the conversation she thinks it is... She doesn't actually know, she hasn't had this conversation that many times before. But the more assured privacy the better. ]

[forwardmomentum]

Alright. See you soon.

[ it takes everything he has not to impatiently text her to hurry, to come as quickly as she can, because he thinks he's made it sound about as urgent as he can without being alarmist, and dammit, he's not trying to cause panic here. no, just damp his own.

he's managed to pull some of his composure back together by the time lara gets to the personnel office, but he's still pacing restlessly. ]

[rraidergirl]

[ She does hurry, for what it's worth, more because her curiosity has the best of her.

The tentative, almost shy smile she greets him with fades almost the instant she gets a good look at him. ]

Miles, what's wrong?

[forwardmomentum]

[ miles looks up at her with an inward breath, the gravity of it all weighing down his stomach, but the last time he'd seen her, they were kissing, and miles enjoyed that. he figured the next conversation they'd have would be a little awkward, maybe, but not this. a little bit of color rises to his face despite himself and miles heaves out a breath, gesturing to the couch in his office. he makes toward the couch like he might sit himself, although he's too fidgety to sit for long. ]

Lara -- please, sit.

[ he feels like maybe he should've opened with a how are you instead, but no, she wouldn't have taken that from him, either. but he feels like she ought to have a chance to sit, at least. ]

[warandpeace]

マジで酔っぱらいじゃ、だれかオイラと連れてってくれか？

["I'm very drunk right now and need someone to walk me home."]

[rraidergirl]

[ This is possibly one of the more bizarre messages she's ever gotten. ]

Be right there.

[ Given where they are, the possible places to find a Very Drunk Miller are rather limited. She'll start at Moira's bar, settling down into the seat next to him when she finds him. ]

I take it it's not cheesecake this time.

[warandpeace]

[He rubs his hand over his face, like he's trying to rub feeling into it. But when she sits, he leans towards her a little.]

That man I mentioned to you is here. And the men who look like the man I mentioned to you. And the man that kills me.

I had a lot to think about. Decided I didn't want to think anymore.

[rraidergirl]

[ She reaches out a hand automatically to steady him, a little worried he'll tip over if he leans too much. ]

All right... [ She's a bit stuck on that last part. The man that kills me. Like hell. Her hand tightens slightly on his shoulder, frowning. ] I suppose that's as good a reason as any to drink yourself blind. Have you had any water?

[warandpeace]

No.

[Short answer. Said with the dismissive tone of a man who didn't even try. He accepted his fate of a hangover as if he deserved it.]

I think I'm ready to go home now. I hit the point where I'm thinking again.

[rraidergirl]

[ The frown and the steadying hand on his shoulder really aren't going anywhere. ]

All right. Can you stand?

[sidecars]

[ A few days after his birthday Lara will find a bundle of five roses on her bed with a personal note in cursive. ]

Thank you for a fun night
We should do it again some time!

Jim

[rraidergirl]

[ Oh. That's sweet, actually. She'll make sure he doesn't get sent a furby. ]

Hello, Lara of Earth.

I find myself rather curious of what you humans give each other as gifts. Is there any particular etiquette?

text

[rraidergirl]

[...what... is this... ]

Hello, Megatron.

There is some. Like what your relationship is with the person and what the occasion is.

Re: text

[aminerproblem]

I have worked with them and they are feeling unwell. I wish to assuage their recovery.

I have also come to the understanding that humans are very appreciative of air, yes?

Re: text

[rraidergirl]

We need air to live, I don't know how that would work for a get well present.

Usually, people send flowers or fruit and cards when someone is sick.

Re: text

[aminerproblem]

I see, I will keep this in mind. Thank you.

[He is now more equipped to prepare human gifts than he was a text earlier.]

Re: text

[rraidergirl]

You're welcome.

[ She's not actually sure she explained that very well, but at least it can't go too terribly. Probably... ]

[peridork]

[On the morning of the 17th, Lara will receive in her mailbox a collection of the Secret Agent Clank holo film series, in which the Moira's resident Lombax, Ratchet, plays the role of a bumbling chauffeur.]
