[Audio/Action for library]

I am filled with ennui.

[Alester just stops, right in the middle of the library, right in the middle of his shift, and collapses onto the floor in what he calculates to be the most dramatic and attractive manner in which it is possible to collapse.]

[Lucy is there to check out the January issue of Cosmo. Really.

Which clearly explains why she is poking you with the sharp point of her high heel and looking at you with a curious head tilt]

What?

Oh. Well you're not dead.

[Poke poke with the sharp point of her heel]

You're way too pretty to die.

No, merely tired of life.

[He gestures vaguely with one hand, which ends up flung behind his head.]

But you make a good point.

[He smirks a little, then frowns.]

Stop poking me.

Oh fine

[Which clearly means collapses--a bit more gracefully, she is wearing a skirt--on the floor next to Alester]

Why are we lying on the floor again?

Because I give up on life.

Dog die? Significant other cheat on you? Leftovers go bad in the fridge?

[She's still lying on the floor with you. It's possible she's agreeing with you about giving up on life. Or maybe she's just taking a rest]

No...I'm just tired of everything.

[It's strangely nice to have floor buddy.]

How are you?

Right here [She holds her hand out for him to slap her palm. It might be a habit learned from Hardison and it's strangely nice to be a floor buddy]

Better at faking than you are.

[Alester just raises an eyebrow. It's not exactly natural for him to high five anyone.]

Whatever do you mean?

[She lets her hand fall, bouncing against the floor. She'll have to teach him high five]

I may be filled with ennui but I'm not acting it. Well right now I am because I'm lying on the floor but I'm not entirely sure it's still ennui when you've got an ennui buddy.

Fake it 'til you make it.

Well, normally, I would act. We're most of us faking something. It's just that suddenly I didn't see the point in faking or hiding or anything.

[Lucy considers that a second then sighs]

Okay. Good point. Drink?

Sure, why not? That's how people generally deal with this sort of thing, isn't it?

Yeah. It'll either make you happier or you won't care that you're sad. [She sits up and holds a hand out to him]

Any particular bar you want to go to?

[He takes her hand and leverages himself upright.]

Yeah, I guess so. I don't really care where we go.
