This was it: Everything Tyler was taking to .. wherever chasing Fight Club would lead him ... had been boiled down to fit into two small duffel bags and a laptop case. He'd sleep (as much as he ever slept) in Fandom one more night, maybe two, but after that it was the open road ( Read more... )

"Did you change my ringtone for you?"

And hello to you too, Tyler.

"...maybe," Tony replied, not finding that to be a problem at all. "It lets you know it's me."

"Why is the Galaxy Quest theme supposed to remind me of you?" Tyler wondered. Tony could probably hear him walking around the kitchen as he placed the filter and tapped coffee grounds into it.

"Hi. Where are you calling from?"

"It's an excellent show." Really, Tyler. Get with the times.

"The office. So don't worry about the roast, I'm sure it will be just as good tomorrow."

Tyler snorted about Galaxy Quest. All the aliens looked fake to him.

"The roast'll keep, but I might be gone," he said, ever so sensitive.

"...your thing?" There were people around, okay?

"Mmmm. Figured out where I have to go first, then it's ... roadtrip time," Tyler said, resigned. "You on your way back, or do I have to come up there to see you?"

"I can come back tomorrow," Tony replied. "Don't touch that--but I think I'm going to need to stay out here for a while longer."

"Don't touch what?" Tyler asked, curious.

"... it sounds like you're going to be home for a while."

Hunh. Well. Better home than the island.

"What? Not you," Tony replied distractedly. "As long as it takes to get things sorted out."

That wasn't very specific. It could be a week or three years.

"Okay." Tyler weighed his options, turned on the coffeepot. "Okay. We'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

"Yeah." Tony paused for a moment before he responded. "It's not that far from the island."

You know. Just an off-hand comment.

"It's not," Tyler agreed.

Then, equally off-hand: "I've never really lived in a big city. Might be a good thing to try."

"They can be interesting." They were a special pair. "If you like that sort of thing."

"It's a thing to think about." So special. "After I do some other stuff, anyhow."
