Okay, yeah, this sucks. I'll admit it, okay? I hate that nobody ever wants to... no, y'know what? Forget people not ever wanting to do anything, people don't even hardly know I'm there unless I say something. It blows and I hate it and I'm... lonely. Okay? I said it, are you all happy now?

Well, no, not happy about you being lonely. Not happy about being lonely, myself. It's a very particular feeling. You know how to go about getting apartments here?

I mean. I expect I'll be at work a bit more often now but I nearly always up for stuff in general. I don't know how helpful that is on the other side of you having said... that, particularly with having also said that having to say it is half the point. But. My point stands not-so-tall regardless.

[illgrowoutofit]

I dunno. When I got here, I just moved in with... [He trails off and frowns.] Yeah, I dunno. Sorry.

...You wanna... do stuff? With me?

[am_i_being_rude]

Why not? I mean unless you're secretly a M'shrit'n in disguise you seem like a pretty cool guy. Looking for direwolves and puppies and such with a humble apothecarian such as myself.

You wanna do stuff, I wanna do stuff, I don't see the point in doing different stuff. Might just be me.

[That's a good point. But Neil is still kind of floored.]

No, I mean, yeah, if you really want to. Th-that'd be cool.

[am_i_being_rude]

Course I don't actually have anything planned as such at the moment. Bit of a trickiness squared thing came up. Although.. [He considers things at hand, given that Neil really does seem quite down even if there is an external force at work.] Well there's always just sort of... Wandering. Enjoying the company. You like science at all?

[illgrowoutofit]

[Neil is pretty sure he's never been asked that particular question before.]

Uhmm, sure?

[am_i_being_rude]

Could probably try and build something. Or sneak you into the lab if you want to make things there. It's kind of cool. Or... Potentially really boring - I'm not doing well here.

[illgrowoutofit]

Nah, that actually sounds cool. Haven't been snuck in anywhere since before I turned 19. [He smiles.] What kinda lab is it?

[am_i_being_rude]

I think there's probably different sorts, although I've mostly been in the more chemical one. Was in one of the more mechanical ones a couple weeks back but I suddenly lack the reason to be there. There might be a better one - we'd have to do some exploring.

[illgrowoutofit]

Exploring sounds good. I could be up for that.
