[ Don't the orange scrubs just bring out his - eyes? Claire's crouched on the floor of his cell, preoccupied with building a pyramid out of Twinkies. About thirty of them; there's also five empty wrappers in a neat pile by his knee. For a jailbird he's in good spirits. Could be a sugar high, or he could be expecting something. ]I know at least some

[ She doesn't have anything to say for now, when faced with the events of that night, but... she's eyeing the Twinkie pile. How did he ... ]

[ A few minutes later there's a reply showing a decidedly snack pyramid-free cell. ]

Chane. They confiscated my Twinkies.

[ ... He could escape, she knew it. But he won't try to. At least he's keeping himself entertained. That gives her a little comfort, and she sinks down a little in her chair, merely watching. It's strange to see him behave exactly the same way as usual in confinement. ]

[ Perhaps he picks up a little on what she's thinking: although his grin doesn't fade it does mellow, and he drops his chin to his chest to watch her from under the sweep of his hair. Things aren't exactly the same, after all. ] I miss you, y'know.

[stoicloyalty]

[ Her eyes train on his, her cheeks flushing slightly. To hear that she is missed is certainly new, even if, only a little, she feels the same about him; it makes her wonder what exactly he misses about her. ]

I'll visit again tomorrow.

[vinovidivici]

You mean it? [ Sitting up and forward, eager like a kid that's been promised a new bicycle. ] The way things're going I might even be able to leave with you!

[stoicloyalty]

[ She closes her eyes to nod and affirm her answer, but something in his answer prevents her from settling into it, and she glances up curiously. ] Have they told you when you can leave?

[vinovidivici]

Not in so many words, it's more of an... attitude they've had recently. [ Grinning - that one guard seems more hopeful about it than Claire himself. ]

[stoicloyalty]

[ Somehow, she hesitates to rely on the air others give off in relation to such a decision. It's not Claire's ability to read others she's doubting; a kind of concern, an unwillingness to hope too strongly is weighing on her mind. After a thoughtful pause; ]

...Do you feel confident about it?

[vinovidivici]

[ Of course, he always feels confident about everything! But since it's Chane she deserves a proper explanation. ] With those things in the subway comin' out I figure they've got no reason to keep me here.
