[Lin's plucking out what may be a familiar folk tune to some on an acoustic guitar. He sings quietly, but steadily.]

I'm proud.

[pastdedication]

You are?

[letslip]

You're making progress, right?

[pastdedication]

Maybe I am. I wish I knew what I was attempting to progress toward.

On any account, thank you. No one has ever said that to me.

[letslip]

... That's a shame.

[pastdedication]

May I see you?

You can see if my sandwiches are any good.

[letslip]

Sure.

After my last class.

[pastdedication]

Please come by when you're ready.

[letslip]

Sure.

I'm on my way.

[And so he tidies up and starts making sandwiches, humming to himself absently even as he goes to answer the door when she arrives. He's very excited about being able to make sandwiches.]

[letslip]

[And so she arrived, a tote bag, full, over one bony shoulder, giving a small smile and a wave when he answered the door.]

Lin.

[action]

[pastdedication]

Havoc.

[The smile doesn't reach his lips, but he's pleased to see her. He welcomes her inside. The apartment is as neat as it ever was, clean, looking rather calm and unlived-in aside from an acoustic guitar resting on a chair.]

How was your day?

[action]

[letslip]

[She's a little more upbeat than usual- how odd, as she steps in, setting her bag down on the sofa]

Great, actually.

[action]

[pastdedication]

Your classes went well?

[He wanders to the kitchen to start a pot of tea. As much concentration as he was putting into making sandwiches, he'd forgotten to start one.]

I want to thank you for your kindness the other day. I was not ready for... that type of curse.

[action]

[letslip]

Well.

[She sat, arranged stacks of papers, leaving him the space to work]

It's alright. I know how those go.

[action]

[pastdedication]

I've been here this long, and I was still taken by surprise.

[The water's set to boil. He leans against the counter slightly, looking at her.]

You don't think I'm crazy?
