I feel like I've been asleep for a week, and not really in a good way. I come out and we've got a whole floor of new people I haven't gotten to know yet. Not that I've been too terribly social with many to begin with. Maybe a word or two to a few people since that last party in the pub. So -- on my part, sorry. We'll catch up sooner or later.

I'm fine.

And yourself?

Private

[gimmethemap]

A perfectly vague response to an equally vague question. I get it.

I'm feeling much better. Just a little worried about you, I guess. Now that things have settled down, are you a little less -- y'know?

Private

[major_west]

Yes, I said I was fine.

Rube tries to force dessert onto me. I don't really understand it.

Private

[gimmethemap]

He breaks the ice with food. It's just what he does.

Private

[major_west]

Ah. I see. That isn't so strange, I suppose.

Private

[gimmethemap]

At least he's trying, right?

Private

[major_west]

Yes. He is trying, if you could call it that. Anyway, it's low-demand, so I don't mind it.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Y'know you might put in some effort yourself and take him up on his offer. Sit down, have a talk. And desserts. You might learn something.

Private

[major_west]

There's no need, really. He's only my temporary warden, and I do well enough on my own.

Private

[gimmethemap]

And if I were to disappear tomorrow, what would you do?

Private

[major_west]

I would assume that I would be officially reassigned.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Right now you're assigned to who you're assigned to. It's no more or less important just because it's going to change later. Okay?

Private

[major_west]

That's fine. But I really don't need anything right now.
