[ he shrugs, eyes darting around so he doesn't have to focus on her not looking at him awkwardly. ]

Works for me. ...You alright, Peg? [ he doesn't know how else to ask but just come right out with it. she still seems on edge or something, he can't quite place it. ]

[mucked]

-- Perfectly fine, [ she chirps. lying, of course. ] You know me. Trying to keep busy.

[speedboat]

[ he doesn't buy it for a second, but he knows better than to try and dispute her outright. ]

Anything I can... help with?

[mucked]

-- Harbouring any new theories on Zero Matter?

[speedboat]

[ he has to grin, though the gesture lacks warmth. ] You're obsessed.

[mucked]

I have to be. [ she swallows responsibility as easily as anything else. makes it a part of her. ] After you left -- and just before I woke up here, again. It's Jason...[ oh, unprofessional. ] Doctor Wilkes. I watched him disappear.

[speedboat]

Disappear. Like he did before? [ he straightens up a little, tell him everything!! ]

[mucked]

Exactly. [ she breathes out. ] And before anything could be done about it, I was -- here again. Useless.

[speedboat]

You could never be useless, Peg. [ he flashes her a look. as much as he likes to tease her sometimes that's worth noting. she's the least useless person he knows, even. though he does look vaguely uncomfortable at being so straightforwardly nice tbh ]

[mucked]

Less than effective, then. If we must quibble.
