[When the feed clicks on, it's obvious someone's in a bathroom. But when the picture finally settles - there's Ramona, tile behind her. She's sitting in a bathtub, her head resting back against the side of the tub ( Read more... )

[Knock knock, Ramona.]

Babe, if you're not too busy in there--I'd like to talk.

[That would be a growl, Ramona. He does not appreciate being blown off.]

Not until you tell me what's wrong.

[He pauses, then smooths his tone out, talking as sweetly as he can.]

Look, babe. I know you only go for the cigs when something is stressing you. So--please. Whatever it is, you don't have to deal with it alone.

[She's quiet after he snaps.

A few moments later she's unlocking the door and opening it just a smidgen to peer out at him.]

I'm just tired. And - I just want one. But I can't crack a window or anything. It's driving me nuts.

[Gideon gives her a concerned little smile when she cracks the door open, sticking his hand in the opening just in case she tries to close it again.]

What about tomorrow? You can... have one tomorrow. Or if you're really that desperate--you could go out now, and I'll stand watch. Promise I wouldn't let anything happen.

[She makes a face when he stops her from closing the door.] Only a few more hours at this rate. Hopefully I'll get a call beforehand. Run out - do what I have to do - get back - sleep. Then I can smoke all the cigs I want when I wake up...

Look. I don't want to bother you. You shouldn't be up right now.

[Gideon frowns, peering at her.]

I shouldn't be up? What about you? You're the one who gets called on during the more ungodly hours. You need sleep too, and quite frankly, you don't look like you're getting it.

I gotta make money too. And this is the best way to do it. I mean - I need to find a place before I get kicked out of here... And that costs money. So.

I'm not faulting your job. Quite the contrary--I'm very proud of you. I'm just saying--you look run down. The circles under your eyes are giving you away, babe. Why not sit down with me, and I'll see if I can't help you relax.

I've got circles?

[She rubs at her face, sighing.]

Whatever. I guess. Just don't do anything dumb. I can't fall asleep.

Circles, rings... call 'em what you want, but they're starting to pop up. You don't look bad, of course. Just... tired.

[Gideon smiles, opening the door a little bit more, trying to coax her out.]

Nothing dumb. I promise. Where do you wanna go? Bed? Couch?

You're just lying to make me feel better. I probably look horrible. [HUFF.]

What? No! Never. Never ever. I promise, just c'mon out, baby.

[She's still visibly annoyed - but she does what he says and steps out from the bathroom, her NV and pack of cigarettes still in hand.]

Ta-dah.

[Gideon is still all smiles--getting Ramona to play along is a little victory in itself.]

Atta'girl. So, since you didn't answer me, I'm going to assume that means you want me to decide. Let's head to your bed so you can relax.
