Well,

How long can you hold your breath?

I always forget. Or, I never quite remember. Yeah, definitely the latter.

[interstices]

You okay?

[paraclete]

Hey, Asuka, how did it go? You are fresh breath?

[You're a breath of.....]

[interstices]

You didn't get a mask.

[paraclete]

I was thinking for a while, first. I hear it's best to do that in all things.

[interstices]

Not when it's going to affect your health. Just because you're an Angel doesn't mean the mist won't screw with you.

[She didn't answer the question, though.]

I don't know. It's been a long time since Dr. Akagi did any tests.

[paraclete]

Well, let's not test you now, then. And I, too, will try not to be too screwy.

Just can't help but wonder.

[interstices]

I'm starting to think that's your default.

I wouldn't care as long as it were inside. [Honestly, she doubts she really needs to breathe that much anymore. Just stupid reflex she's holding on to.] How come you went out in it? Are you still out in it?

[paraclete]

My default? Hey, probably.

I am not. I was feeling kind of brisk. Oh, I mean... I think I wanted to be hardy.

[interstices]

That wasn't a compliment.

Good. You've got to be careful. Don't do so much dangerous stuff.

Hardy?

[paraclete]

Well,

If I'm hardy,

Something's not too dangerous, right? If I'm particularly hardy.

I'm not very large, you know. But I ought to be hardy.

[Something about the strength of an Angel, maybe... could be he's feeling cranky and defiant.]

[interstices]

Hardy isn't indestructible.

[paraclete]

Not quite ideal.

But that is a better thought. Indestructibility is the appeal, of course.

[interstices]

Since when did that matter to you?
