Caffeine deprivation sucks.

[tell_oconnor]

The coffee's being rationed already! Can you believe that? It's only been a week since the Daedalus' last supply run! I mean, where's it all going?

Okay, hm, maybe it's best that you don't comment on that.

It was only four cups, and anyway, I was working late, I needed the caffiene. And you know McKay drinks at least double that on a daily

What exactly could I advise you on, O'Connor?

Maybe on your evident caffine addiction?

Or that it'd probably be a better idea to tone down the chirpiness until well after midday, when the grumpiness is going to at least minimalise.

[tell_oconnor]

Caffeine addiction! *snorts* If you think I've got a caffeine addiction, you obviously haven't met the chemists. Or, for that matter, Dr McKay.

[capt_stackhouse]

I do my best to avoid sociopaths.

[elise_mayday]

Wha's your excuse for hanging out with Donovan then?

[capt_stackhouse]

I would hardly say Donovan is a sociopath. He thrives on being around as many people as possible.

[elise_mayday]

He's not the one I was calling a sociopath.

[capt_stackhouse]

Well, as you well know Donovan is the exact opposite of a sociopath, and therefore even sociopaths themselves find it difficult to avoid him.

[elise_mayday]

Still, if you were any good at all at being anti-social you'd think you would have managed to shake him by now.

[capt_stackhouse]

How childish do you think I am?

[elise_mayday]

You willingly associate with Donovan and you have an irrational dislike for sheep...

[capt_stackhouse]

Okay, first off all, what possible evidence do you have that would suggest I hang around with him willingly?

Secondly, it is not irrational. You don't know what you're talking here.

[elise_mayday]

Well, if you were in any way at all as committed to being as much a 'sociopath' as you'd like us all to believe that you are, you would have gotten him to give up on you by now; and given I highly doubt Donovan's commitment to annoying you is greater to your own commitment to being happy it would suggest that you do put up with him willingly.

Well then, by all means, Stackhouse, enlighten me.

[capt_stackhouse]

Don't you have any other important things to do rather than mull over my relationship with Donovan?

I'd really rather not.

[elise_mayday]

... honestly? Not right now, no -- oh, rest assured I care very little, but I've finished my paperwork for the day, so...

Well then, I'm just going to go on thinking it's irrational until you give me reason to believe otherwise.

[capt_stackhouse]

Hm. That certainly emphasises your caring very little of it.

Do you really think I care what opinions you hold of the reasons behind my fears, or just generally the fears themselves?

[elise_mayday]

What? I'm done with my work for the day, relaxing by checking on these journals and I just happened to get in this conversation with you.

I think lots of things about how much you care about other peoples' opinions on you, but then again I'm not your therapist, so what does it matter?
