[Hank glances up and smiles in greeting, and even returns the little wave once he puts his pen down. Though the comment gets him laughing]

I'm always hard at work. I think this is the first time I've earned a high five because of it.

[nowyouseeit]

[stuffs his hands into his pockets and strolls into the lab, a skip in his step]

Really? That's a shame. You'd think people would be more willing to go around and give hard workers high fives, huh?

[why. . . though. . . Kaito?? what is that logic???]

[beathach]

[that is not logic at all sir, what sort of logic are you working with here. Hank grins, and makes a gesture to one of the few chairs he keeps in there for visitors]

I get high fives from my students sometimes? Does that count?

[nowyouseeit]

[the logic of being too happy about giving out high fives. plops into that chair and slumps into it comfortably]

I guess so. A high five is a high five; no use getting all particular about 'em.

[beathach]

That's true, I guess.

[highfives are a new thing, okay, he doesn't get them all the time, let alone understand the particulars about them]

What brings you in here? Surely it isn't just for a high five.

[nowyouseeit]

[he shrugs, because he really doesn't have much of an answer]

And if I said it was just for a high five?

[it wasn't]

Honesty, I was just taking a look around. I had a pretty good lunch and wanted to brag about it, heh.

[beathach]

A pretty good lunch, huh?

[well surely he must have ate somewhere else and not on the ship] What'd you have?

[nowyouseeit]

Chicken teriyaki protein cubes!

[has anyone ever said those words in a more cheerful manner all at once? what the fuck]

[beathach]

[he can't help but chuckle a bit]

I find it very hard to believe they were that good.

[nowyouseeit]

Do you? Honesty, I sorta felt the same way for a while. But if you turn your thinking around and try'n look at things from a positive light, the whole word turns on its head!

[why is he being so weird]

[beathach]

[even with as weird as Hank is being, what with his own good mood, he's totally picking up on this weirdness, too]

And that works on a crappy ship food?

[he has DOUBTS]
